LastPass Authenticator

LastPass has released an authenticator app along the lines of Google Authenticator. If you use two-step authentication (and you should) then you will need an authenticator app to generate your one time codes, and that is exactly what it does. The app also lets you login to your LastPass vault by simply approving a notification on your phone, if you use two-step for your vault password, so you don't have to manually enter the code. That is pretty much the only reason to have this app over something like Google Authenticator or Authy.

Miitomo

Miitomo is the first proper app for mobile from Nintendo, currently available only in Japan. The app isn't exactly a game but more more of a social network where you can create your Mii (or use existing one) and then interact with those of your friends. Your Mii will ask you details about you, which can then be shared with your friends, and vice-versa. You can change the appearance of your Mii to resemble you, and purchase accessories for it using the in-game currency (and purchase more using in-app purchases). You can also share pictures through the app. This probably doesn't sound like much if you aren't part of the Nintendo universe or an adult but if you are neither of those things and currently in Japan you should check it out.

Rayman Classic

The original Rayman game is now on Android, after dropping on iOS a couple of weeks ago. It's basically the exact same game (not remastered), but now on your Android device. If you liked it back then you should definitely check it out.
