Good google play apps

I get bored really easily and so i'm looking for any app from google play that is a good time waster/ is beneficial (EX: I discovered that you can make flashcards with an app, which saved me tons of index cards for tests and stuff, yipee). I'd also prefer if the app doesn't require internet service, but if it's awesome enough, I won't care. Oh and I really like those interactive games like 'choose-your-story' type thing where you are the character and get to control him/her and see how the story turns out. So far, I've only found a few called "Shall we date" where you're a damsel-in-distress and this hot guy comes around and as the story progresses, you two fall in love. It's pretty lame.
Here are some of my app recommendations:

Kingsoft Office - you can view and edit powerpoints! Now i can download the notes that my teacher always posts on her website

SuperCard- lets you make flashcards and then you can take a quiz with them. I love the quiz part cause you can make it multiple choice/ exact text/ etc. Lots of options.

Fruit Ninja- I swear, so addicting. And it's free in Google Play, whereas you have to pay in the Apple store.

Doodle Jump- also free in Google Play, but paid in the Apple store (this is why I love android sometimes).

QuizUp- a pretty popular app that recently (well I recently discovered) became available on Android.

Wind Runner- It's good for when you're looking for some action.

Meow Meow Star Acres- I know, ridiculous name, but so adorable. And surprisingly addicting. If you do download it, be sure to add my invitation code: RVPXUNEJ (yay, gifts)

@CrimsonOcean: Ya, it's been trending for a few weeks. You can try it on [url=http://gabrielecirulli.github.io/2048/]this site[/url] before downloading it. It's really fun and gets intense when you have to shift up after you've been building in the bottom right corner for 20 minutes.

If you like to read manga you should download MangaRock
When you need to use your phone before bed get twilight, it makes the screen darker which is good as it will make your eyes less sore.

If you like puzzle games then get flow free.

AnkiDroid - my personal choice for flash cards. can be synced with your computer.
Coin Flip - for all those difficult daily decisions.
Uniqlo WAKE UP - doesn't always wake me up, alarm changes according to local weather
F-Droid - FOSS catalog. this is for most apps not listed on the play store.
Waze - user-generated information about local traffic
Duolingo - haven't gotten much use of this yet, but it's basically a free rosetta stone
SaltyDroid - for saltybet. doesn't support twitch chat though
2048 - eh
Smart App Protector - allows you to lock individual apps
