Mobile apps learn something new - Have a Lot of Apps on Your Phone? Try These Ones to Become a More Interesting Person

If you spend an inordinate amount of time on your phone, you’re bound to know your way around an app or two. While many of us are familiar with the likes of Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and others, many apps are a hindrance rather than helpful. For instance, social media may seem like a good way to kill time, but too much time spent scrolling through your newsfeed can be detrimental to your mental health.

Today we’ll be looking at some of the best apps you can use to become a more interesting and knowledgeable person.

Read on for more information.
