Star Wars is one of the greatest stories humanity has ever told. It spans decades, lots of movies, lots of books, and lots of video games. You can literally engage in years of Star Wars content and repeat nothing. Having said that, you would expect a lot of great apps for it, right? Yes, there are definitely some good ones to further aid your Star Wars experience. Here are the best Star Wars apps for Android.
The best Star Wars app for Android
Disney+
Price: Free trial / $6.99 per month / $69.99 per year
Disney+ is easily one of the best Star Wars apps for Star Wars fans. It has all the movies, TV shows The Mandalorian, The Clone Wars, and many other standalone movies and shows. All of these movies and shows are pulled from other streaming media and placed on Disney+. So, those who want to watch movies should definitely start here.
The app is fairly easy to use, includes Chromecast support, and you can even sync movies with other people watching them so you can watch them together from different TVs. The service runs for $6.99 per month or $69.99 per year. This Hulu, ESPN+, and Disney+ bundle for $12.99 per month is an even better deal if you also want something other than Star Wars.
do
Price: Free / Varies
Facer is a watch face app for Wear OS, Samsung’s smartwatch platform, and Apple’s WatchOS. This allows you to find custom watch faces to decorate your smartwatch home screen. There are many Star Wars option metrics for all three major platforms. Here’s a quick list of some of the options if you want to see for yourself. It’s relatively easy to use. Just install the app on your phone and follow the instructions for whatever platform you want. It’s a small thing, but having Vader on your wrist all the time is nice.
Fandom by Wikimedia Commons
Price: Free
Fandom by Wikia is one of the better sources of information for Star Wars fans or any fan, really. You can find information about the various characters, settings, storylines, and almost anything canon in this series. This app is very basic and performed well in our tests. You just search for the topic you want and the app shows you the articles. You can also access this information from a web browser if you don’t want to deal with the application directly.
HoloCanon is a bit of a wildcard on this list. It contains almost every movie, show, and novel in the Star Wars universe. You just run and tick the stuff you’re up to. Now you know what’s left for you to discover and engage with. It even includes Star Wars Battlefront II and Jedi: Fallen Order, two of the most popular video games in the canon world. It’s a simple app with a simple premise, but we hope the developers add the ability to sync between devices at least (perhaps via Google Drive backup) in the future. The developer also has a Discord channel if you want to make suggestions or talk about the app.
Jedi lightsaber simulator
Price: Free
Everyone loves a good Jedi Lightsaber Simulator. This one is as good as the others. You can make your own little lightsaber and change its color if you want. It’s not a particularly functional app, but it’s fun for a few minutes at a time and great for kids. Disney has a Jedi Challenges app (Google Play link). It lets you engage with the Star Wars universe with augmented reality. However, the Disney app hasn’t seen an update since 2019 so we’re not sure if it’s been deprecated or not.
Anywhere Movies
Price: Free / Varies
Movies Anywhere is an excellent app for watching Star Wars movies. You can buy movies on any of a number of services and watch them with this app. Supported servers include Google TV, Amazon Prime, Microsoft Movies & TV, Vudu, and Apple TV. This is a great route for people who don’t want a monthly subscription like Disney+ but still want to watch movies whenever they want. The app also comes with the ability to download movies to stream them offline and share a synced viewing experience with up to nine other people.
Price: Free / $3.99 per month / $29.99 per year
For the gamers among us, the Star Wars games subreddit also helps with strategy and secrets. Some Reddit users are terrible people, but the site itself is great for this sort of thing. We’ve got the main Reddit app linked, but you can also choose from a great variety of third-party Reddit apps here.
Let’s face facts, you always wanted to do text crawl at the beginning of Star Wars but with something you wrote. This app lets you do that. You simply open the app, enter all the details, choose your scrolling direction and then let it run. There is also an option to save the video so you can share it on social media or use it for whatever you want. Obviously, these apps lack functionality, but sometimes apps don’t need functionality. They can only be fun to use.
Star Wars official
Price: Free
The official Star Wars app is an obvious recommendation for lists like this one. It’s straight from Disney and has all kinds of news, experiences, and other media to explore and engage with. You can theme your app with a light side, dark side, and droid interface, play sound clips, watch official videos and movie trailers, and get official Star Wars news straight from the source. There’s even a 5 day weather function if you want to use it. There’s a lot here and it’s all useful for Star Wars fans.
Zedge
Price: Free / $0.99 per month / $4.99 per year
Zedge is easily the best ringtone and wallpaper combo app on the phone. It has tons of ringtones, alarm tones, notification tones and wallpapers to choose from. Based on a cursory search, it has over 18,000 Star Wars wallpapers, over 5,800 ringtones, and over 3,100 notification tones from a galaxy far, far away. Those numbers go up a lot if you just look up The Mandalorian. Either way, if there’s a sound effect or song you’d like your phone to play, this app probably has it. Wallpaper could be better, but there are enough choices to appease most people. Subscription is completely optional and removes admittedly annoying app ads.
