10 great Android apps and games you should know


1. ReadMill


 Bored of your ereader app? Give this one a spin. Upload books from your computer to a readmill account and you’ll be synchronized across all devices and ready to roll. You can also use any DRM-free ePub or PDF file already on your smartphone or check out thousands of free books to get started. Finish one and get recommendations for another. Lather, rinse, repeat. 

2.ThemerApp


Looking to change up the overall look of your Android? You’ll definitely want to check out this free app that does all the heavy lifting for you. Powered by the team behind MyColorScreen, it gives users a library of custom designs which are but one button press away. Themer beta requires an activation code but you can sign up at http://themerapp.com to get on the list. Note you need Android 4.1 and above for this to work. 

3. Hill Bill


Channel your inner stuntman and handle your business across 6 worlds and 60 levels. Start out in your backyard as you work your way up to the Grand Canyon. Do your best and earn some rewards; unlock new outfits and vehicles.  Speaking of which, can you master the backflip and Superman? 

4. Feedly


Those of you who used Google Reader in the past are likely already a fan of Feedly. As one of our favorite RSS readers for Android, this one is gorgeous, simple, and intuitive. Recent update brings about a much faster experience with a sharp widget. Log in with your Google+ account and catch up on all things important to you. 

5. Mixbit


Created by a pair of former YouTube founders, this  app lets users record, edit and publish videos as short as one second or as long as an hour. Videos are spliced together from clips that are up to 16 seconds with the largest finished result as being 256 clips (~one hour). Got a last minute change that needs thrown in? Not a problem, even after publishing.

6. Profile Flow


Set your Android up to automatically adjust settings depending on your location. Need to log into Wi-Fi and toggle off GPS at work? Stop manually doing that stuff everyday. Aside from location, you can automate changes based on time, day, location, battery level, specific Wi-Fi networks, and more. Enable and disable all of the things with the flick of a switch!

7. Casino League


From Konami comes this live tournament-style Texas Hold ‘Em game which features players from all over the globe. Hop in with ranked League Play mode and see how high you can climb in the world or hone your skills and strategies with Challenge Events. Get daily rewards or scoop up points from teammates to unlock even more fun. Got an hour to kill? 

8. GTA V Manual


Are you playing Grand Theft Auto 5 yet? Don’t answer that, we already know. But, did you know that you can download an official game guide from Rockstar which includes more than 100 pages of details, maps, hints, and more? It’s a sizable app at 180MB but you’ll be glad to have this on your lap for when you head into Los Santos to help out Simeone. 

9. Moves


Keep an eye on your every move, whether it’s walking, biking, running, or using transportation. You’ll get a much better sense for how mobile and active your are (or aren’t) and whether you could do better. Tracks locations like work, the gym, Starbucks, and puts them into a nice story-like plot of activities. 

10. Deer Hunter 2014


Arm yourself with the perfect weapon, upgrade it with scopes and new barrels and other goodies as you’ll be hunting more than 100 animal species. Collect trophies for bagging a deer, of course, but you’ll also be able to gloat on Google Play achievements when you take down a pair of cheetahs.
