Fun Fridays: Must-Have Apps!

Jimmy Fallon's Wake-Up Call:

A fun take on an alarm clock. Wake up to a hilarious phone call from Jimmy!

Alfred:

Alfred, aka my best friend when traveling, is an app for foodies. You tell Alfred local restaurants, cafes, bars, etc. you like and when you are traveling he will tell you places to check out based on your preferences.

Gas Buddy:

Never pay for expensive gas again. This app will list all gas stations and prices within miles of your location.

Sudoku:

I live to play Sudoku. I like to think it keeps my mind fresh and sharp :)

Cooking Light:

If you like to cook, this is the app for you. 100's of healthy recipes, sectioned by course, are at your fingertips. 

Amazon:

This app makes shopping as easy as one, two, three! Best part is you can lie in bed and purchase over a million different items.

Lose It!:

Lose it helps to track your daily calories and it gives you the exact amount of calories to eat each day to obtain your weight-loss goals.

Gilt:

Gilt is easy to navigate and its fun to check out the daily sales even if you don't end up buying anything.

Angry Birds:

I am addicted to this game. I find it very therapeutic.

Gate Guru:

Ever been stuck in an airport on a long layover and wondered what restaurants and shops are in the next terminal over, but didn't want to walk there? Gate Guru recognizes your airport location and clues you into what's available to you in terms of food, entertainment and shopping.

iSleep:

This app turns your phone into a portable sleep machine. Great for vacations where you get stuck in the hotel room closest to the elevator, iSleep soothingly and effectively blocks out the noises of the night and helps you fall asleep easily with a variety of sounds to choose from−from white noise to rainforest, and many more.

Pandora:

I use this app all the time! It's perfect for mixing up a playlist for a variety of  activities−working out, cooking, driving, etc. 

Bank of America:

I hate to tout bank apps, but because I don't balance my checkbook this app comes in handy. I use it almost daily to check my balance.

New York Times:

This app gives the day's top headlines in a beautiful user interface. Great way to catch up on news while waiting at Starbucks.

Words with Friends:

Obviously even Alec Baldwin can't get enough!

See This:

This app allows you to use your phone's video function to take a panoramic, stitched together photo.

Pair It!:

Get a little help choosing the best wine for your dish.

Tip Calculator:

This app is useful when you're out with friends and splitting the bill...especially for the math-impaired.

 

We hope you have enjoyed our favorite apps!
