Have you ever thought what you would have done had smart-phone apps not been there to make your life easier? Imagine hailing a cab for work without Uber – running after taxis on the road, or just recall the time at the new place you moved to when there was no Zomato but there were late night hunger pangs. Smartphones and apps have made such tremendous impact on our lives that even the thought of their absence is enough to give us jitters.
These days, there’s hardly anyone without a smartphone and an army of apps in it to face the daily war of survival in the fast-paced globalized world. Ranging from simple alarm related apps to quirkier ones that let you mark your territory by recording places where you have used the loo (humans are animals after all!), they come in various shapes and sizes. As an android user, most of us are spoilt for choice with the gazillions of apps waiting to be downloaded. But apart from the basic need-based ones, how do you plan to choose which ones to download and which to skip?
Just like the apps, to make your life easier, we give you a small list of latest apps that you just cannot afford to miss out on. Go ahead, read and get down to downloading them asap!
