As a huge fan of Android, trying new apps for my phone is a bit of a habit, and I’ve found some ones that I think you’ll have fun with. These apps are free, but we’ll be checking out some paid ones in the near future. Check out them out below:
Elevate [FREE] – Make your Gray Matter…Matter
For the past month or so, I’ve been playing with Elevate, a brain-training app similar to others like Luminosity. What I love about this app is that one – it’s free (though it has a Pro version), and two – it’s actually addicting. Seriously, who couldn’t benefit from a more nimble noggin? From simpler math problems, to memory and reading comprehension, it’s all game-ified. For instance, in what I call the synonym game, you’ve got a word presented to you with two choices – one that is similar in meaning, and one that’s not. When you choose the correct one, a rocket gets boosted into the sky. When you choose incorrectly, the rocket drops. Another one of my favorites is the speed reading plus comprehension game. A few sentences are presented to you word by word and they drop faster with every round. At the end of each round you’re asked a question to see if you remember what it was talking about. How many words per minute can you read?

Dubsmash [FREE] – Got more time to waste? You won’t after installing this app.
This app is hilarious. With a plethora of famous quotes and sounds, you and your friends can entertain each other with videos of yourselves lip-syncing to the audio. My personal favorite is doing the “As you command, Megatron” line, from the Fantasy & Sci-Fi category, when my fianceé asks me to take out the trash.

Agar.io [FREE] – It’s eat or be eaten..so get your grub on.
This game is as frustrating as it is simple. Objective: be the biggest, baddest guy on the board. How, you might ask? It’s easy – just eat the littler guys. The hard part? Not getting swallowed up in the process. As you munch on the small guys, you’ll grow, move a bit slower, and be more susceptible to attack. There are obstacles in the way that you can duck through for escape as a small fry, but when you’re big and bloated, others can use it to make you ‘splode into tiny fragments for others to gobble up.
