In our ongoing effort to simplify our lives, the hunt for the newest and most exciting apps out there continues...
Let’s face it. Technology has taken over our lives to such an extent that we rarely see beyond the illuminated screens of our many gadgets, particularly our smartphones.
Thanks to these, today, we can fix our daily appointments, order groceries and even connect with friends across time zones, all from the privacy of our washrooms.
Our steady fixation with technology, however, has led to a plethora of apps of every kind being let loose in the online market, making it difficult to choose the ones we really need.
No phone can accommodate every single app out there, and your requirements may be far different from your friend’s. Besides, there are apps that are simply over-hyped and only serve to take up space on your phone.
With that in mind, we listed out some of the newest and smartest apps out there which claim to make your lives easier and more fun. Most of these should make the tech bug in you very happy.
Memrise:
Learning a new language is now at your fingertips. Memrise is the perfect app for the avid learner in you. Even as you play a game, the app aims to make you wiser by 44 words per hour. And you get to choose from thousands of courses available for over hundreds of languages. Memrise is designed by the famous memory-coach Ed Cooke and it makes use of a wide range of memory-enhancing techniques to make learning simple and fun.
Ultratext:
Calling is a thing of the past, and texting the only way to go. But chatting isn’t just limited to alphabets. With picture messages, GIFs and colorful emojis coming to the fore, messaging has never been so much fun. Ultratext allows you to create custom-made GIFs, choose over a vast range of emojis and even send in-app selfies.
123D Catch:
Behold the vividness of life around and transform your everyday into a 3D model.
123D Catch breathes life into the pictures of your camera roll and automatically transforms them into interactive 3D models that can be shared with friends, family, and other 3D photographers. You can also test out a wide range of photo filters and effects.
Splitwise:
Finally, you can get rid of all the minute calculations that come with living in a rented apartment with friends. Splitwise takes all the pain of computation and sorts out everyone’s share of the rent, groceries and group trip costs. All you need to do is add your expense and share it among your flatmates or friends. It’s easily one of the most useful apps in the store.
Sleep Cycle:
Waking up after you have had just right amount of sleep is an incredible feeling, but your alarm clock wouldn’t understand that. It will still attempt to rattle you awake at 6 am even if you crashed just two hours before. Sleep Cycle is an intelligent alarm clock that analyzes your sleep patterns and wakes you when you’re in the lightest sleep phase. This means you wake up feeling rested and relaxed.
Runpee:
Ever felt terrible because you had to go take a leak during the most crucial scene in a movie? So have many others and that’s why we have RunPee. Basically it tells you the best time to run and pee during a movie so that you don’t miss the drama. Updated constantly with new theater releases, it buzzes silently to tell you a good time to go to the loo mid-movie and also provides a synopsis when you return.
Cocktail Flow:
Relish the moment, and let happiness flow! If you are homebound with some leftover tequila, cranberry juice and vodka and can’t really figure out how to make a drink, Cocktail Flow will do the math for you. All you need to do is mark the ingredients you have at home in the cabinet page and the app gives you step-by-step cocktail recipes that you can make with them. It also helps you figure out ingredients for new and varied cocktails for your next party!
Now, look, didn’t I just simplify your life a little?
