As I was sitting on a bus last week surrounded by students on spring break, I couldn’t help but notice how many of us were on our phones. Not to exaggerate, but nine out of 10 students were on their phone. Then I noticed that we weren’t just using our phones for texting or calling, we were using phones for almost everything else.
Old news? Maybe for some but this got me thinking, what is everyone doing on their phone? Most people were using Twitter or Facebook while some introduced me to other apps. Here is a list of six apps, in no particular order, that I have recently fallen in love with (click on their logo to download app):
1. Sound Cloud: It’s like Twitter, but instead of statuses, they’re songs. I get all my new music here.
2. Relax Melodies: I sometimes have a hard time falling asleep or relaxing. This app makes relaxing easy. There are so many sounds and features to choose from!
3. Hill Climb: This game is addicting! The more levels you complete the more points you have to earn features for your car. Check this game out for yourself!
4. Cultiwords: It’s a cognitive training program developed and tested by the learning club. Expand your vocabulary with this app.
5. Ruzzle: A fast pace word game where you can challenge your friends. You must give it a try!
6. Reddit: User-generated news, pictures, videos, etc. I’ts not new, but it’s one of my favorites.
