Entertainment Android Apps: The 5 Best

If you are a true entertainment buff, you never want to be away from your music, movies and television. Luckily there are several great apps for Android phones that make keeping up on the latest in entertainment a breeze. Here are five of the very best entertainment apps for Android phones.

Best Entertainment Android Apps: Pandora

Price: Free

Pandora is the best of the best when it comes to personalized streaming online radio. Check out new artists or just listen to old favorites with this app. With Pandora, you can get information on practically any artist and customize your radio station with ease.

Best Entertainment Android Apps: IMDB Movies & TV

Price: Free

If you are anything like me, barely a day goes by without having to check IMDB.com for information on some obscure movie, television episode or character actor. Now the internet's largest collection of movie and television-related information can go where you do. IMDB Movies & TV is perfect for the next time you are struggling to remember who played "Waiter" in some random 90's B-movie and can't get to a computer.

Best Entertainment Android Apps: TuneWiki

Price: Free

TuneWiki may seem at first glance to be a lot like Pandora, but its extra features (like streaming lyrics) and the ability to share your favorites through a number of social networking sites means that TuneWiki is definitely an essential for music lovers. Plenty of cool features abound here, but music-mapping (checking out who's listening to what around the globe) is my favorite.

Best Entertainment Android Apps: SPB TV

Price: Free (Lite-version), $9.95 (Full-version)

SPB TV is the best way to get your favorite television stations on your phone, and comes with a number of really nice features, including picture-in-picture. You can take your own television episodes with you, or stream shows live from a number of different channels in several different languages, including sports and news. The full-version gives you more channel selections.

Best Entertainment Android Apps: Movies by Flixster

Price: Free

Movies by Flixster is a movie nerd's best friend. You can check showtimes, reviews (from Rottentomatoes.com), box-office standings, watch trailers and even find restaurants close to your local theater. This Android app simply does everything you could want a movie app to do.
