Gem and Jo's Apps of the Moment

As young, technologically savvy girlos, we both have iPhones and with that comes a multitude of apps! Here is a list of our favourite apps of the moment!

Gem's list 

Wattpad: online community of people who write novels and poetry.
It's a great app and everytime you open it there is new stories! While there are the odd few that are very young authors the majority of them are excellent writers and often get picked up by publishers from this app!
It's a great way to get your work out there or if you just like to read like myself!

 

 Moves: tracks your steps, workouts and in general where you go.
It's excellent if you're conscious of how much exercise you do everyday and it's free!
The only downfall of this app is the fact you need to have location settings on all the time or it doesn't track.

 TVN: Live Weather, Live Chasing: this is a live stream from the cars of storm chasers across America! If you're interesting in storms, tornadoes and hurricanes this is a great app! it even provides an up to date map of where each chaser is located!
Some chasers often talk to the audience and explain why the weather systems occur, which is great for us budding chasers!

TwoDots: This app is kind of mindless but very addictive, while it is fun to play it for a while, running out of lives and having to wait for more becomes tiresome. Still I do keep returning to play it!

 Piano Tiles: a game of skill and incredibly addicting, I have my whole family playing it! It gets progressively harder and is very challenging! It's a brilliant game!

Jo's List

ASOS: This is the app for the clothing website ASOS. Through this app you can browse and buy all sorts of clothes and accessories. You can even save items to your favourites to check out later. I love this app as ASOS literally has everything! Plus who doesn't like a bit of window shopping.

 Candy Crush: Who doesn't know what this app is? If you haven't heard of it, have you been living in a cave for the past few years, because this app is literally everywhere. This game is seriously addictive and despite there being levels, it is a false sense of progress because you never really get to the end. It's torture and excitement all in one app, and who doesn't want that!?!

 Sleep Pillow: This App is pretty much a basic sound soother, with sounds such as running water and waves. I used this app a good bit in the last month as I was traveling quite a lot. I'm not the most comfortable flyer and  this helped cover up the sound of the plane, while making it still soothing enough to help me fall asleep. Also it's free which is great as a lot of sound soothers aren't

AcuWeather: This app gives you accurate weather forecasts for your area. This app is pretty essential living in Ireland as we can literally experience all four seasons within a day and it's hard to know what weather to dress for when leaving the house. It also provides you with a frizzy hair forecast and predicts which sports the weather is suitable for. 






Charades: This app is great craic when you have a large group of people! You can choose a category and it presents you with a topic which others must act out in order for you to guess it. Each round can contain many different topics or words. This is literally bucket loads of fun! And can be more difficult than it sounds and it is hilarious watching people struggle to act it out.





We also have a couple of apps that we both love such as Buzzfeed, Snapchat and iTube!
Thanks for reading and don't forget to tell us what apps you're loving at the moment!
Until Next Time!!
