We’ve
all got better things to do than sit playing on our phones all day but
sometimes it’s nice to just take some time out to chill. If you are in the mood
for a little procrastination, check out our 10 fun app recommendations below...
1.) SpellTower
- £1.49 – Download here
You
can’t beat a good word game! Waste your day playing on SpellTower, a
captivating word game that will challenge you to craft words from your letter
selection (a little like Scrabble) whilst having to deal with multiple falling
letter blocks (think Tetris). The idea is to remove as many letters from your
screen as possible.
2.) Doodle
Jump – Free – Download here (Android) or here (iOS)
Looking
for a new fun game to play? Make it Doodle Jump! This cute and quirky app
requires you to help a jumping bug to reach the top, avoiding the nasty
insects. It’s simple, yet remarkably addictive. Multiple levels varying in
difficulty will keep you entertained for hours.
3.) Periscope
– Free – Download here (iOS) or here (Android)
If
you’re a fan of Twitter but enjoy more visual content, you’ll love the social
media website’s new live streaming app, Periscope. Using this app you can
easily create your own live streams and share them with people around the
world. Alternatively, you can waste your day watching other people’s live
streams in real time, sending them comments and hearts to show your
appreciation. Periscope also has a 24-hour window for streaming replays, so
you’ll never miss out on the good stuff.
4.) BuzzFeed
– Free – Download here (iOS) or here (Android)
The
BuzzFeed app delivers the best news, gossip stories and quizzes directly to
your device. From hilarious videos to slideshows of the Grumpy Cat, there’s
plenty of content to keep you entertained all day long. This app’s so good it
was voted the App Store Best of 2014.
5.) Instagram
– Free – Download here (iOS) or here (Android)
Spend
your day taking photos, adding quirky filters and sharing them with people all
over the world. Instagram currently has over three hundred million users, so
there will be plenty of images for you to scroll through as the day passes you
by. Don’t forget to share your Instagram snaps to Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr.
The app makes it easy with just a few taps of the screen.
6.) Action
Movie FX – Free – Download here
Fancy
wasting the day creating and starring in your own action movie? Look no further
than the Action Movie FX app. Described as ‘the best special FX app for action
videos,’ Action Movie FX let you shoot and add special FX to your videos such
as bomb explosions, car crashes, avalanches and missile attacks, before
uploading them straight to your social media pages.
7.) iSwap
Faces - £1.49 – Download here
If
you are looking to waste a day with your friends and family, there’s nothing
quite like iSwap Faces to keep you entertained. Swap faces with your mum, dad,
sister or even your pet! Whilst there are some similar apps you can download
for free, iSwap Faces lets you accurately position your new face, making it all
the more fun.
8.) Pics
HD for Reddit – Free – Download here
You’re
probably already familiar with Reddit but did you know it has its own app? Pics
HD for Reddit lets you enjoy thousands of outrageous, funny and amusing
pictures discovered online by the Reddit community. All of the pictures are
available in HD and you can even share them straight to your Facebook, Twitter
or email from the app. You’ll never get bored with this one!
9.) Cat
Piano – Free – Download here
The
Internet is crazy for cats, so we have no doubt that you’ll enjoy this rather
odd, yet fun app. The Cat Piano allows you to re-create your favourite tunes
with cat noises and drum beats. What could possibly be better than that? Waste
your days playing on the Cat Piano and winding up your furry friends, who will
think you’ve bought home another playmate.
10.) 80
Days - £3.99 – Download here (iOS) or here (Android)
If
you don’t mind spending almost £4 on an app, then we highly recommend
downloading the 80 Days app. Set in a Steampunk version of 1872, the app
requires you to assist Phileas Fogg in getting round the world in 80 days. Your
character is the loyal valet, tasked with planning routes, managing the
inventory and making important decisions. It’s one of those games that’ll hook
you in and have you putting your social life on hold.
