APPS SPECIAL.... Apps that deserve your time and (phone) space


Apps that deserve your time and (phone) space

We all have apps like Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and Messenger on our phones to stay connected, but there are new apps being created every day to make our world a little more efficient, safe and fun. Here are some of the new apps that you should check out:

Tik Tok An app to create and share short videos of your interesting life
Similar to Vine, with Tik Tok you can create short-form videos on the platform. The Chinese company took over the popular lipsyncing app, Musical.ly, and became one of the most downloaded apps of 2018. It is likely to introduce virtual reality filters, reactions to friends’ videos and time limits soon.

Bear Helps in organising your notes and thoughts
To replace Apple’s simple Notes App, Bear incorporates different categories like ‘groceries’, clean architectural details and classic Word elements to give you more control over how you put down your thoughts.

Grasshopper: Learn to Code for Free Quick games on your phone can teach you how to code
Created by a team from Google’s workshop for experimental products, Area 120, their coding app for beginners was fully launched this year. The little grasshopper, Grace Hopper, teaches you the fundamentals of how code works, along with more complex animations.

Procreate Pocket A tool for sketching and painting on a smartphone
Built for creative professionals, the redesign of this art app gives you 135 brushes for sketching, inking, and drawing, including 3D elements, 30-second time lapses and a lovably simple interface. It’s a must-have for all artists.

MindBody Helps you find fitness, wellness or beauty classes in your neighbourhood
The easiest way to find fitness classes in your area, type in your favourite kind of exercise and your zip code into MindBody, and book a spot in classes right on the app. There are also ratings so you can find out if that new yoga studio is more about pilates or chakras before you get into a yoga pose.

Moment Tracks your screen time so you use your smartphone in a healthy way
Moment tracks your time and helps you measure your screen-time. It ensures that you pick up your phone fewer times per day and helps you find peace in this technologyfilled world.

Otter This app can save you from tedious transcribing
Using a speech recognition software, Otter not only transcribes words but can identify the different speakers. It also transcribes in real time and can play back your recording at different speeds. In the app, you can snap relevant photos during recording, like whiteboards or presentation slides.

Calm Has programs for mindfulness and helps people sleep
A leading app for meditation and sleep, Calm has hundreds of guided programs to lower stress, alleviate anxiety and ensure more restful sleep. Its guided meditation sessions are available in lengths of 5, 10, 15, 20 or 25 minutes so you can choose the length to fit with your schedule.

Alto’s Odyssey Join the virtual adventure in a fantastical place
This gorgeous answer to the 2015 Alto’s Adventure is a running game with stunning mobile graphics. With original elements and a delightful soundtrack, Alto’s Odyssey is one of the most immersive adventures currently on the app store.
