Android Apps?

I've been using "calm.com", both the web site and the Android app. A few days ago I started also using an app called "1 Giant Mind", which seems okay except that the meditation being taught includes a mantra, which I find I don't need.
Anyway, does anyone have any other suggestions as to useful Android apps (or web sites, for that matter) that may serve as a useful meditation aid?

Hi Xenon,
Thanks for sharing!
I use these:
These I wouldn't like to miss:
* White Noise: can be used simultaneously while playing a guided meditation with another app. Some of the sounds I find relaxing on their own (you can download more), but mostly I use it to block background noise (by creating more, ironically).
* MI band tools: I ware a cheap wristband (€15) that vibrates every half an hour, than after one minute it vibrates again. During that minute I try to be as aware as possible, no matter what I'm doing.
* Spotify: has loads of great music, guided meditations, Yoga and meditation playlists. I can use the premium version now for three months for free. Don't know if I'll keep the premium version after that, because I think it's rather expensive.
* Other music player to play guided meditations. For the body scan I've created some of different lengths myself. They only enumerate body parts, and are silent in between.
* YouTube: of course a great resource for 'everything' about meditation and mindfulness.
* FBReader: Great for reading E-books (about mindfulness) when I haven't got my E-reader with me.
These I use very little:
* Insight timer: an meditation app, with lots of guided meditations.
* Paced breathing

Peter, which MI band do you have? That's a good idea

Also take a look at Smiling Mind, which is a free app, I believe.

With the PDGA app being iPhone only, Ive found quite a few android apps for DG in the Google store. Has anyone used any of them? Which ones do you like most, and why? Thanks.
