Most of the following applications have tie-ins with social bookmarking sites and can therefore also be used to share your favourite items with your friends. If you do, your friends who are bored at work will love the way you spent your 20 minute wait at the doctor’s office.
Reddit Is Fun
If you love Reddit, you’ll love the Reddit Is Fun application. It’s a simple interface, allowing you to read posts or comments, then vote on submissions and comments.
You can even reply to any comment — just click on the comment and you’ll be given the option.
Stumbleupon
Just as the Stumbleupon web app and browser extensions can induce hours of entertaining idleness, the Android Stumbleupon application is a sure-fire way to kill time pleasantly. The application has been well designed so that you can either stumble through your favourite topics or stumble through the best types of media for smartphones, such as photos or video.
XKCD Viewer
You have to admit, one of the best things about having a smartphone is having access to comics in idle moments, and what better comic than XKCD? Open the XKCD Viewer app and it’ll show the most recent comic. To use, swipe the screen to see the rest of the picture and see the menu to read the hover text. Move back through the most recent comics one by one or click the dice for a random entry.
MakeUseOf Application
If you’re a fan of our blog, you’ll love the MakeUseOf Android application. It’s the best way to stay on top of our latest news, applications, cool tips and tricks. Read more about the application here.
Reddit Pics
You might think an application like Reddit Pics would be redundant if you already use Reddit Is Fun, but you’d be wrong. Reddit Pics takes pictures from the /r/pics Subreddit, filters it for NSFW entries and shows you the pictures in your Android app. Basically, all you do is swipe to move back through the archive and see all the best pictures Reddit has offered lately. Or if you prefer, you can choose your own Subreddit to browse. The point is that it’s such a simple way to browse the pictures that have been submitted. You’ll love it.
