So, if you want some Android apps to pass time, here are 17 cool and fun Android apps to kill boredom you can use in 2020.
Best Cool and Fun Android Apps in 2020
1. 9GAG
You must be pretty well aware of 9GAG and if you are not, you are missing out on your daily dosage of memes, GIFs, funny pictures and videos. Along with the hilarious content, it’s the community that makes 9GAG even more fun. If you don’t find the pictures and videos funny, the comments should crack you up. You can also check out Cheezburger or theCHIVE, which offer similar funny content.

2. TikTok
TikTok has taken the world by storm. It just crossed over a billion downloads on Android. And I know some people find it polarizing but you cannot deny that there’s a huge selection of funny content on this platform. I don’t post on TikTok but I regularly browse it and follow specific creators who make hilarious content. Currently, it’s one of the funniest places on the internet, and if you have still not boarded this hype train, you should install it right now. If you want a pro tip, it’s to create a list of people who you find funny and follow them, so your feed is not overtaken by unwanted content.

3. Doublicat
Doublicat is a fun little deep fake app that allows you to superimpose your face on gifs and memes. If you want to create personalize memes for someone, this is the app to do it with. There are millions of memes and even more gifs on the internet, and you can usually find a huge selection that will work with your face. This is one of the funniest deep fake apps that exists on the internet. Once you start using this app, you will not be able to go back to regular gifs and memes.

4. Dad Jokes
Dad Jokes is one of my most favorite fun and cool apps on Android. If you are somehow not familiar with the concept of dad jokes, these are basically cheese and corny jokes and puns that dads love to tell. Whenever I need a belly tickle, I turn to this app. If you love corny jokes are you going to enjoy using this app. Apart from jokes, I also love the app’s minimal design. You swipe right and left to change the joke and swipe up to reveal the punch line.

5. Voice Changer Fun
You must have noticed how Bruce Wayne’s voice changes when he becomes Batman, right? Chances are, he might be using this voice changer app. The app lets you record your voice and then change it to an alien, robot, monster, kid, bee, ghost etc. through various cool effects. You can then share your changed voice with friends and have fun. While there are a number of voice changer apps for Android this one is my favorite.

6. Bubble Wrap
Well, the name of this simple yet fun Android app says it all. If you are tired and want to get the satisfaction of popping bubble wrap, a fun activity not limited to children, without having to order something off of Amazon then this is the app for you. You can jump in to pop a grid of bubbles, score points, and feel the bliss. I find it surprisingly calming and relaxing.

7. Easy xkcd
For long xkcd has been the place where I go to get my daily dose of humor filled with existential crisis. xkcd describes itself as the webcomic for romance, sarcasm, math, and language, and that description is on point. If you enjoy humorous takes on these topics, you will fall in love with xkcd. I first mentioned xkcd on our best cool websites list. And although they don’t make an official app, Easy xkcd ensures that you don’t miss it. It offers a clean reading environment and has the ability to download the comics offline. Looking for a fun and cool app for Android? Don’t miss out on this one.

8. Shake Me
Shake Me is my favorite app for killing time on this list because of two simple reasons- the obvious one being the Dark Knight and El Chombo’s Chacarron soundtrack. The concept of Shake Me is fairly straightforward. You need to shake your phone to make the Dark Knight sing Chacarron Macarron to grab everyone’s attention and get a laugh out of them.

9. Wafty: Draw AR Art
One of my favorite past times for when I’m bored is doodling. I can doodle my heart out and listen to music continuously for hours, but instead of doing it on paper I now turn to Wafty to doodle my ideas in the real world. Yes, Wafty is an AR drawing app that allows users to pick colors, doodle and record their creations to share with friends.

10. Slav Armada
Slav Armada is one joyride that I would recommend all of you to check out. I know many of you might have these 2 questions – What is Slav? and Why do Slavs squat? Well, it’s a popular catchphrase used for Eastern European people, especially Russians, which is why you will see Slav squat and dance when you tap your screen. It’ll reward you with vodka bottles, which you can use to grow your Slav army and conquer the motherland.

11. Ugly Camera
Though Snapchat and Instagram have popularised face filters, you can also choose to do the same with this aptly-named Ugly Camera Android app as well. This app allows you to apply a number of, as you guessed it, ugly filters to your face and click a photo or record videos to share on Instagram. You get access to a number of filters but you’ll need shell out money to unlock more and remove ads.

12. Granny
If your favorite genre is horror and you’re all about that jump-scare, then I think you are going to love Granny – or be afraid of her at all times. This horror arcade game sees you waking up in an empty room and you need to escape Granny’s house silently, without a sound made. Well, if you make a noise, then Granny will come running to knock you out with a baseball bat.

13. Trump Wall Simulator
It’s been a couple years since Donald Trump was elected as the President of the United States but the debate around the Mexico border is still pretty heated up. Well, you don’t need to get into politics to enjoy this lighthearted take on Trump’s plan to build a wall – which you’ll do here, while saving yourself from Hillary, survive explosions, and make a huge wall. You can play as numerous other characters as well.

14. Particles Flow
If you are utterly bored and want something to just distract you from the monotony, then Particles Flow could be a great addition to your Android smartphone. This app will display 50,000 small particles on your screen which are attracted to 5 points you can choose and move with your fingers. You can adjust the settings and even set Particles Flow as a live wallpaper.

15. Wakie Community
Wakie is the perfect app if you want to talk about something to a friendly stranger. You can request a call or accept a call for various topics you might want to talk about. You can even set an alarm clock with the app and instead of an alarm tone, you will get a call from a stranger. Sounds pretty interesting, right? You will have to try it to know it. If you’re into old-school communication methods, well, you can also check out the Bottled app (Free, in-app purchases start at $0.99) to send messages sealed inside a bottle, open other bottles, and meet new people from across the globe.

16. Psychedelic Camera
Finally, if you’re into abstract art and want to create some crazy artworks yourself, then you need to check out Psychedelic Camera. It lets you choose pictures from your gallery and add trippy filters to it. I love how you can simply power up the camera and view your surroundings in chaotic colors and patterns – it’s delightful.

17. Pictoword
Pictoword is a fun little app that lets you play a word game where you get two pics that combine to create a word or phrase. You have to figure out what those pics mean, and use the letters given below to create the right answer. I love Pictoword as it never fails to challenge me. You can either play alone or make it a competition among friends to see who gets the answer first. This is a game for all genders and ages. It should exist on every fun and cool Android apps list.
