Having tried all of the above and as you can see clearly from the above list, SmartTorrent is definitely the one having the most number of features and it’s certainly the best torrent client for Android available among the lot.

There are other torrent clients that I’ve not included in the above list such as Red Torrent, Mtorrent, aBTC as they have multiple problems downloading torrents and don’t have enough good reviews and features. uTorrent for Android is also coming in a few month, lets wait and watch what that brings to android!

Note: One of the major problems with using torrent apps/clients on your phones and tablets are, that it uses up your battery fast and consumes a lot of mobile data (of course depending on the torrent size). So, applications with a “Wi-Fi Only” download mode are recommended.
