 A slow, hanging, crashing or lagging Android phone can be a very frustrating and annoying companion. There are so many Android apps that most Android users either fall into the trap of installing too many or installing buggy apps that could cause their Android phones to become slow or even get bricked (like the fonts app). I don't advice you to install font app if you don't know how to install it properly, it brick your phone easily. A friend of mine was a victim. Though the phone was able to come back to life.
