Thanks to the ever-increasing popularity of smartphones (and by
extension, mobile operating systems) and better internet connectivity
speeds, today there’s an app available for pretty much everything out
there. While some of these apps are indispensable to our daily workflow
and come in really handy, others are weird and plain useless.
Want to know more? Here are 8 bizarre and pointless Android apps that you can try to have some fun.
Fidget spinners are the rage these days. Invented in the 90s, this spinning toy has reached unimaginable levels of popularity and is being advertised as helpful for people who have trouble focusing.
But for some reason, you can’t get yourself an actual fidget spinner, you can use an app for it. Therefore, there is now an app for it. Fidget Spinner provides a virtual fidget spinning experience, where you swipe left or right to spin a virtual spinner and collect points.
This is easily one of the most purposeless apps on our list. Electric Shaver displays a picture of a shaver on your smartphone’s screen with the live camera view as the background.
The app even imitates the sound of the hair trimmer, complete with vibration. You can choose the colour and thickness of the hair that ‘fall’ as well.
A one of its kind app, PoopLog lets you track and evaluate your bowel movements. From location and photos to colour and mucus content, it lets you log everything.
Even prior discomfort and the urgency levels can be recorded. You can ‘review’ your poop-log using charts and create reports to share with others.
As the name suggests, Metal Detector measures the magnetic fields using your smartphone’s embedded magnetic sensor.
All you need to do is launch the app, move it around, and it will show the fluctuating magnetic field levels based on metal in the surroundings.
Game of Thrones fans will immediately recognize the name of this app. Those who don’t watch GoT, Hodor Keyboard Lite is inspired by a character named Hodor in the series.
What’s interesting is that this keyboard app lets you type nothing but the word Hodor. Once installed, it has to be configured just like any other keyboard via the Language and Input Method option in your smartphone’s settings. You can even long press for ‘Maximum Hodor,’ swipe left to ‘unHodor’ and more.
Just like the name suggests, Virtual Cigarette Smoking displays a virtual cigarette on your smartphone’s screen and lets you pretend that you’re smoking one.
You can even blow on your smartphone to make the cigarette ‘burn’ faster.

While there are a lot of prank apps out there, this one is no joke. Even though the developer doesn’t guarantee anything, Anti-mosquito Sound Simulator claims to emit ultrasonic sounds that can irritate small insects (like mosquitoes) and drive them away.
You can even select the type of insect you want to scare off.
With over 100,000 downloads, Useless has gotten fairly popular with the users despite doing absolutely nothing.
Useless’ description reads that it’s the first ‘multi-unfunctional’ application in the world. Sounds quite accurate!
