Apps are one of the best things to have happened to
mobile phones. No other feature of the phone has made our lives as simple and
easier as apps. From paying telephone bills, to checking your bank account to
monitoring your BP, you can do all this and much more, courtesy the wide world
of apps.
However, with thousands of apps available, picking the right app can be a challenge. Here is a list of some of the most quirky and useful apps that you should be using right now.

sharing selfies. Justin Bieber invested in Shots early on as an angel investor
2. Frontback

snap a picture using the rear as well as front cameras of the smartphone. You
can explore other people's photos and leave a 5-second video response on a
friend's photo if you want
3. Yik Yak

Kitestring calls itself "your virtual overprotective mom," and
isn't an app. All you have to do is text a time frame to Kitestring, and the
service will send you a message checking up on you after a specified amount of
time. If you text back, all is well, if not, you can set up Kitestring to send
out a customized emergency message to your friends and family

time. You can quickly type in what you're working on, start the timer, tag your
tasks and see a nifty breakdown of your time at the end of the day.
8. Represent
For $9.99 a year, Represent helps you quickly create a professional
resume that can match your industry and personality with various designs and
colours. Your resume is also stored online for easy sharing, and you can even
see your resume's analytics to check how many times it's been viewed.
9. Stoodle
Stoodle is a great way to collaborate online in a
virtual workspace. Students and teachers can write and draw in realtime on a
virtual whiteboard, and built-in voice conferencing and messaging makes working
together easy. The best part is that all of your work is saved permanently so
you can always circle back on your work.
