Wi-Fi Sniffers
There are quite a few wifi sniffers for Android, just search for sniffer or network in the Play Store.
I've used them to send and receive emails while traveling. Found a hotspot at a touristy temple in New Delhi (evidently from the business office inside), and others in various street locations in Rome, Dubrovnik and Lisbon.

It's been around a while, but it's new to me.
I got hooked on "Serial" and had downloaded the MP3s to listen to them in my car. But after I finished the series, I wanted more, and needed a way to get and manage podcasts on my phone. I looked at a number of apps and settled on Doggcatcher. It's very configurable and flexible, supports Chromecast, let's you adjust playback speed, and a whole lot more.
I now have far more interesting things to listen to than time to do it.

Too bad, because I liked the UI. Doggcatcher has a bit of a learning curve, but I think that's a result of its lengthy feature set.

MightyText.
I can get all my phone alerts on my computer, and I can use an app in Chrome (or Gmail, or the MightyText website) to type and make my phone send SMS. I never have to type on a phone when I'm on a computer, which is good because as a long time (and I mean long time) Blackberry user, I HATE typing on touchscreens.

Pushbullet. Notifications are synced across devices and I can respond to or even initiate text messages from any device (phone, tablet, PC). Now it's also easy to send links and files to all connected devices.
