The Top 10 Most Unusual Android Applications
We've covered a lot of Android applications on the channel, but today we're going to come from a slightly different angle. We've got our top 10 applications so unusual you'll be wondering what on earth the developers were thinking. Let's get right into it.
Number 10: Film Focused Application for People with Bladder Control Issues
Number 10 is built for film buffs who can't control their bladder. It has a constantly updating database of movies, even those currently showing in cinemas. The idea behind this application is simple - it'll tell you when it's safe to go to the bathroom so that you can fully enjoy your favorite films without interruptions. Someone has actually sat down and watched every single one of these films documenting the times in which little or no plot action happens, which are four or five minutes long, and you could still miss them while watching. You've probably heard of these brutal alarm clocks that force you to get out of bed in the morning in creative ways, such as by shaking your phone vigorously for 20 seconds.
This application takes it a step further with an additional feature - if you snooze the alarm continuously, you can configure the app to send a text message to someone in your house telling them to wake you up. That's all we know about this number 10 application.
Number 8: Puzzle Game for Word Nerds
Number 8 is a game that could be called both an app and a game. It falls into between these two categories because it has puzzles, but the puzzle itself doesn't follow any conventional rules - instead, it has a theme of elaborate wordplay due to how abstract and out-of-the-box the puzzles are. Because of this, you really feel like every victory is the result of your hard work and intelligence.
This app lets you find other people who are suffering in similar situations, and then you can all travel together towards offline peace. This app is a contrast to most applications, which aim for simplicity and ease of use.
Number 7: Online Chat Room for People on Low Battery
The next application isn't so much useful as it is genuinely hilarious - its name is "Die With Me," and it's an online chat room that you can only access when your smartphone is on five percent battery or less. The idea behind this application is that you can find other people who are suffering in similar situations, and then you all travel together towards offline peace.
This app is the opposite of most applications in many ways - they aim for efficiency and productivity, but this one just lets you hang out with like-minded people even when your phone is almost dead. That's what makes it so funny.
Number 6: Train Travel Application
The next application is a lifesaver instead of buying direct trains from one station to another. This app shows you a combination of local trains that you can use to bypass the high fees and, while your journey will probably be longer, sometimes they're cheaper or just as cheap, so it's worth using them.
Number 5: Icon Pack Application
Number 5 is an icon pack application that looks very different from the other applications we've seen. At first glance, you might think that it doesn't have any style or aesthetic at all because it has bold and bright flat squares. However, this unconventional design actually blends perfectly into certain types of wallpapers.
With the right launch setting on your wallpaper, you can get a killer setup out of this application. It's like nothing we've ever seen before - so different from what most people are used to, but that difference also makes it really interesting and unique.
Number 4: Platforming Game for People Who Love Creepy Stories
The fourth number is a game called "Heads Off," which is actually pretty well described by its name. You control a floating head that powers through a creepy 2D platforming world, with the screen opening wide to let out a scream when you hold it down.
This experience is like nothing else we've seen - it's very different from other games and is more than just fun; it also has an emotional side to it. As you play, you'll unlock new heads, and each one of them will have its own story that it leads in life.
Number 3: Interactive Fractal Art Generator
The third number on our list is an application called "Fraxel." It's not a typical game or app; instead, it's a tool for creating beautiful fractal art through touch gestures with either one finger or two fingers. Using this application can be a kind of experience similar to meditation - calming and soothing.
What sets Fraxel apart from other apps is its social feature: you can take screenshots of your creations or record video natively in the app, then share it on social media platforms. This makes it an excellent way for artists to showcase their work and get feedback from others.
Number 2: Shared Whiteboard Lock Screen Application
The second number on our list is called "Lock." It's a shared whiteboard lock screen that lets you invite people into your group, and then they all share the same lock screen with you. Any contributor can edit this screen to remind everyone of upcoming events or appointments.
For example, if you had a coffee meeting at 3 PM, you could write it on your lock screen so that everyone in the group will see it immediately when they check their phones. That's what makes Lock an excellent tool for staying organized and keeping track of people's schedules.
Number 1: Application We Can't Describe Yet
The last application on our list is a mystery - we can't describe it yet.
