Help us find the next great Android app #thenextinstall

Our community loves Android apps and we love hunting for new up and comers that we can suggest. We already cover the most popular and top updated apps, but we thought it would be interesting to have a weekly column focused on underground apps that have less than 50k installs. Can we pick a relatively unknown app and help boost their installs and exposure to new highs? That's the challenge we are taking on with a new experiment I'm going to call #thenextinstall. We polled some of readers and asked them to submit recommendations for Android apps that they thought had the potential to become hits. After reviewing all the submissions, we created the following list apps. Browse over the new app suggestions and let us know if any of them make it onto your device.
