I can’t stress this enough to my friends and people I talk to about Android apps in general- Most of the best Android apps are the free ones. This is true for nearly every category of apps and the Android entertainment apps are not one of the exceptions!

I’ve heard from a ton of people that they’re basically paralyzed because of the vastness of the Android Market. My advice to them and just about everyone else: when you have a half hour of free time, download a couple free Android apps and check them out. If you like ‘em, keep ‘em; if you don’t, well there’s plenty more that you’ll like. The trick is narrowing the tens of thousands of Android apps into chunks you can handle. In fact, that’s my goal with all these articles.

OK, I’m done with preaching for the day, haha. Here are the ten best free Android entertainment apps you can find on the Android Market:

TMZ
I will admit it; this Android app is one of my “guilty pleasures”. It probably shouldn’t be, but it is and I really can’t help it. This app will satisfy the voyageur in you while keeping up with the latest unimportant celebrity news. Hey, if you’re going to get a “celebrity news” app, why not get the best? And, IMO this is certainly the best!

AK-47
Pretty much what the name of this app says, this application allows you to fire your Android phone like an AK-47. This is one of those apps that you wouldn’t think is worth downloading; but, to tell you the truth, it’s surprisingly fun.

The Schwartz Unsheathed
If there’s a mock gun on my list why not have a “Schwartzsabre”? This app is a must for all you Star Wars fanatics. Well, it might be- I’m not that kind of a guy, haha. Anyways, I know a lot of “those people” and they all have this app and love it! So, if you’re into Star Wars, this is an Android app that you would enjoy.

TV Guide Mobile
This app allows you to have an up-to-date TV Guide stuffed in your phone for whenever you may need to check out the guide. It’s also a pretty good source of fun TV-related articles to read. If you’re a TV junky like most of us, this Android entertainment app should be on your phone… Yesterday!

Fandango Movies
IMO, this is one of the 5 best free Android entertainment apps. It’s Fandango! If you don’t know what it is, you should download it immediately and begin to be amazed at what this app can do! I love going to movies and I only need this single app to satisfy all of my movie needs- whatever they may be.

Steamy Window
This Android app is tied for the most useless app on this list. That doesn’t mean it isn’t fun though… Basically, you can choose the background photo, then, cover it with steam and you can wipe it off with your fingers. It reproduces the steamy shower or window door to perfection- complete with moving beads of water!

Funny Jokes
This is one of the best free Android apps available for finding awesome jokes. This app classifies all the jokes into 12 categories (including the very popular Chuck Norris Facts) so if you don’t want to see a particular type of joke, you never have to!

This free Android entertainment app offers too many ringtones and wallpapers to count. There are over 16 million Zedge members currently, so they must have gotten something right! Your ringtones and wallpapers will never be dull or ordinary again thanks to this app.

FMyLife FML Official
This app is highly addictive! You’ve been warned. Whenever I’m having a bad day, I just take browse through the postings on this app and it all doesn’t seem so bad anymore. Basically, people from all over the world post about the not-so-great things that recently happened to them and other users “rate” their posts. You can literally waste away hours upon hours reading the posts and comments on this app- if you don’t have the time to waste, stay far away from this Android entertainment app!

Magic 8-Ball
This app brings the Magic 8-Ball that most of us remember asking questions to when we were kids back with a vengeance! There are a ton of added features that we could have only dreamed of as kids that make this app truly “one of the best”.
