Tech Week: Three Apps That I Am Loving Lately
(Week 1 of 52 )
Hello! With the amount of free time I have been given from being on Winter Break, I have... let's just say gotten to know my phone a lot better. After unlocking my phone, I take the route every teenager practically goes to: Social Media. Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, Tumblr - there are so many to check and have! Okay, well I am sure we are all guilty of relying on our phones and being on it every second of the day. Sometimes, like in my case, social media gets boring and overused. Now, I am just going to encourage you even more to use your phone with these three amazing apps. These apps can take you away from the addicting evils of social media, and also inform, enrich, and help you throughout your week. Here are my top three (free) apps of my year so far:
Elevate (FREE)
This apps was recommended to me by Rachel Whitehurst on Youtube. Elevate is a mind challenging game that focuses on improving everyday skills such as the ability to retain information, memorizing, problem solving skills, etc. The free version of the app creates 3 games for you to do each day to strengthen the skills you would like to work on. The games are actually REALLY fun and addicting sometimes. Nice app to let your brain go with a game, but still learn something with it.
She Reads Truth (FREE)
To all of you artsy Christian girls, this apps for you! I have recently replaced my Bible app with this one. Made by Women and for women, this app works as a editable Bible (with bookmarking tools and note taking tools), a devotional (if you would like to try the free ones or purchase), and a lock screen/wallpaper make app. Lately, I have been wanting to strengthen my faith and try to use the Bible more often. I highly recommend this app.
SmartNews (FREE)
Have you ever been caught up with work or school so much that you realize that you have no idea what is going on in the world? I noticed this terrible observation last semester when my Sociology professor would ask about current news that related to sociology. This sleek and efficient app accumulates articles from popular websites and news sites and separates them into categories such as World, Entertainment, and Sports. Also, they enabled a smart read app that saves time between the loading screens on safari. Ohhh! And you can create alerts daily to tell you a headline or two. How neat!
Sorry for the lateness, I know I was supposed to post on Friday. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this fun review and try these apps immediately after reading it. I am in love with them at this second so I am sure you'll be too. Have a great and productive week!
