Best Android apps this week (15/6/2012)

Songkick Concerts (Free)

An app that could easily change your life, Songkick got a big start on iPhone. Now Android fans can sit back and relax as this free app scans your music library (and last.fm or Facebook/ Google Music if you like) to bring you gigs near you. If you're running Ice Cream Sandwich, you also get a home screen widget for upcoming concerts at a glance.

Finally, hard-done-by cop Max Payne makes it onto Android – and with customisable touchscreen controls, slow mo Bullet Time and adjustable HD graphics all present and correct this should be top of your download list this week. Plus, if you don't like gaming on a touchscreen, you can plug in a controller. Check Max's Google Play page for a full list of compatible devices – it includes the Samsung Galaxy S II (but not the S3, yet), the Galaxy Note, HTC One X and One S and Sony Xperia S.

on{X} (Free)

If you can forgive the Facebook-only log-in (for now), this is a useful little app from Microsoft. You can automate your life with location-based reminders for chores at home or essential tasks at work, plus regular web fixes using a Javascript API. If you liked the sound of Moto's Smart Actions, you'll love this.

Rebuild ($0.99)

This turn based post-zombie apocalypse game is pretty decent value – for 99 cents you get seven different endings as you fend off gangs and rioters and try to get together enough food and tech to survive. Just goes to show, we're not going to get tired of zombies anytime soon.

Kytephone: Kid's Phone (Free)
