Flixster

Flixster 

This simple app is a must for movie lovers, offering a clean user interface and accurate movie listings at nearby theaters, based on your current location, of course. Perhaps the best feature of this app is its integration with online movie critic Mecca Rotten Tomatoes. Users can browse what’s out in theaters, or what’s playing nearby and access the RT reviews in just one click.

Vignette

Vignette 

While Instagram still hasn’t made its way over to Android, the Vignette app is just about the next best thing if you’re looking for artsy photo effects (minus the social sharing). The app earns its $4 price tag with 84 different effects and 59 virtual photo frames. Effects include Lomo, Diana, Holga toy camera styles, Polaroid and instant camera styles, as well as cross processing, tilt-shift, photobooth, and double exposure. The app also has digital zoom, self-timer and time-lapse, and Geotagging.

Google Sky Map

Google Sky Map

This app from Google is frankly just really awesome. Using GPS, turn the app on while you are looking at the night sky and it will literally show you what to look for. The app depicts stars, constellations, and planets as you would see them looking directly at the night sky. Wonder what constellation those three bright stars are part of? Point your Android device in that direction and Google Sky Map will give you an answer.
