5 Utterly Weird Android Apps You Probably Never Heard Of
Most of the apps on the Google Play Store are pretty straightforward and serve a dedicated purpose. However, there are a bunch of apps that are just there to make you question the developer’s intent. Surely you don’t need these apps at all, yet you would still want them.
If you are ready to check out some really weird apps, then below you’ll find 5 such weird Android apps.
1. Anti-Mosquito Repellent
Your smartphone can not only fight mosquitos in arcade games but can fight real-live mosquitos as well. Whether this app actually works in repelling mosquitos or not is questionable, but the app uses ultrasonic sounds that mosquitoes dislike. You can adjust the sound frequency from 8Khz to 22KHz, and as a human, you will not hear the sound or only hear a mild screech.
You just need to set the frequency and turn it on, it will take a few minutes to see it in action and the mosquitos will leave the vicinity of your phone. I was unable to test whether the app works or not as there are no mosquitos near me at this time of the year. Although I am not sure whether it works or not, it’s still a very weird app.
2. Poop Map
A simple app to help you create a log of where and when you pooped. Mark your territory on a map and see where you have pooped – home, office, friend’s house, or even that downtown cafe. You just need to press a single button to mark your current location and forever mark it as your poop territory.
Apart from the regular logs, the app also has an interesting social aspect that allows you to notify your friends whenever you poop. You can see whenever one of your friends poops, and even drop alike for the fun of it.
3. Nothing
Similar to that funny Chrome extension nothing, this app also delivers nothing. And when I say nothing, I mean literally “nothing”. After installing and opening the app, you will just get a blank screen and there is nothing to do. You can look at the screen and think about your life while nothing distracts you, but the app itself can provide nothing.
Although the app has over a million downloads and thousands of reviews, you can bet people really love this weird app that does nothing. Even if the app does nothing, you can still read the funny reviews to kill some time.
4. Free Hypnosis
What can be weirder than hypnotizing yourself? Although seemingly just for fun, this app actually has practical use and can help in relaxing and building confidence. It probably won’t hypnotize you and make you do stupid things like on those hypnosis stage shows, but it can hypnotize you in a state of relaxation.
The app has over 200 free audio hypnosis sessions by none other than the popular hypnotist Joseph Clough. Just listen to them and focus to see if you can get hypnotized and how it will feel. There are also some paid sessions, but for most users, the free audio files are enough.
5. S.M.T.H
Okay, this one is weird, but in a risky way. S.M.T.H (Send Me to Heaven) is a game where you throw your phone above and it will calculate how high you throw (in meters). You can challenge your friends to see who can throw their phone higher (possibly without breaking it). All the users are solely responsible for the use of this app.
You can compare your score with your Facebook friends and see the current top 10 scores of the month. It might not be a good idea to play this app on your new Android phone, but you can give it a go on your old phone you are already looking to get rid of.
Ending words
So these are some of the weirdest apps you can find on the Google Play Store. Although most of them don’t actually serve a good purpose, it sure is fun to have them on your phone. Do you know any other weird Android apps? Do let us know in the comments below.
