1. Popcorn

Popcorn is an app for discovering movies that you haven’t seen before. It works a lot like Tinder. A list of movies is displayed for you to rate. You can mark movies that you’ve watched, don’t like, review later, or add to your list. Tap a movie and you’ll see more information about it on the IMDB page. Each movie shows a rating based on multiple movie review websites.

4. Tankout

Tankout seems like your average tank battle game, but there’s more to it than that. You can build your own levels and other players can destroy them while you build.

If you can find other players it’s a lot of fun.
