Smartphones have long been a tool for communication, work and entertainment. Thanks to them, it’s convenient to make video calls, find the way to your destination and just kill a few hours in a toy. But many users do not even have a clue what unusual Android apps are.
We should also say that along with unusual applications, you can download atypical games from the Play Market. Even if their game play seems familiar to you, the idea itself will definitely surprise you.
Interesting applications
The next dozen unusual applications for Android may seem useless to you, and it will be difficult to argue, since indeed many of the programs are entertainment or an addition to something. But there will be those applications that you might not suspect about, but you definitely want to use them.
Application List:
- Waterbalance;
- Zen !;
- Grove
- Boo;
- Inkspace

Of these programs, just a couple that the user may really need. The rest are intended for entertainment or practical jokes of friends.
Waterbalance
This is a really useful application for Android. You can find its analogues in Russian, but you can easily figure it out. The program helps you calculate your daily water intake.
Of course, you most likely have encountered similar applications before, and were unhappy that they are a common reminder of the need to drink a certain amount of water. Waterbalance for Android is noticeably different.
The application provides an opportunity to record the amount of water drunk, and also has a large selection of drinks in its arsenal.
To install the program, you must go to the Play Market and download it. The smartphone will automatically load the application into memory.
Zen!
This is a very simple and, in truth, not the most necessary program on a smartphone. Nevertheless, she already has many fans who are happy to spend time in her. What is the essence of the program?
Zen app! Helps to draw and meditate at the same time. A drawing field appears on the screen, and relaxing music sounds during the process itself. You can create any patterns that will take on colors. All parameters can be easily adjusted to make the image look even more beautiful.
Many users claim that literally just a few minutes in the application is enough for them to relax, relax and feel peace. But, in fairness, it is worth recognizing that it is easier to draw on a tablet, the smartphone screen is still small.
Now finding this application is not easy. In the Play Market, you will notice a large number of programs with a similar name. It will be easier to find the application on the Internet, download the APK file, and then send it to your smartphone to install later.
Grove
Unusual applications for Android include Grove. This is an interesting project, which at this stage works more as an experimental site. With it, you can easily grow your own landscape.
The program generates an image depending on user behavior. For example, each new launch is represented by a new landscape. If you direct your virtual eyes up, clouds will appear, grass will grow below, and mountains form in the distance.
The Grove app is also no longer found on the Play Market. But on some forums you can still download APK files and install it on your smartphone.
Carolina

Watermelon prober
This is a very unusual application for Android. It serves to determine the maturity of the watermelon. It is unlikely that anyone will seriously take it, but for fun you can try.
The application is very simple. It is enough to run it and attach it to the watermelon that you are going to buy. After that you will need to knock on the berry.

Boo
A very unusual application for Android, which will amuse more than your child. It works together with the front camera and uses face recognition technology.
When you start the program, but at the same time turn the phone a little to the side so that the front camera does not fix your face, funny black balls will appear on the screen. There will be more and more of them. But as soon as the front camera captures your face, the creatures will notice you and scatter.

Face swap
There are a lot of similar applications for photos on Android, so you can try several at once. You can install them from the Play Market. They work on the same principle: we take a photo, and after - we modify it.
And here begins the flight of your imagination. You can take a picture of your cat at the same time, and then "draw" his nose to your cat. You can also overlay video on a selected image area, etc.
Inkspace

I am bread
Have you ever dreamed of becoming bread? Unlikely. But there is such an opportunity, thanks to the game I am bread. Your task is to get to the toaster and become a toast. But to do this, of course, is not so simple. You’ll have to cover yourself with jam and roll a couple of times on the floor.
