It used to be that a phone had two simple functions: making and receiving calls. The introduction of the mobile phone made those simple actions ultra-convenient, but it has only been in recent years that convenience has taken a back seat to fun. Sure you can talk with your Smartphone, but that’s not the only reason you chose one, is it?

Apps are an exciting carnival of telecommunication fun, where myriad of useful and useless phone recreation vie for your attention. Need something? There’s probably an app for it. From games to news, totally free to a few bucks, apps instantly un-boring everything. Just take a look at these top apps:

Give What You Get
Once you’ve found the app malls online, like Apple’s app store, you can start downloading apps for your specific phone. Of course, you don’t just acquire apps, but you can create them as well. With the aid of a tutorial or nerd, you can upload your own designs for others to buy. App designers do actually exist to help you create complex ideas.
