If you're one of those people who like to use apps to kill time, you're not alone. Here are four apps for you to spend your free time.
Baicizhan First of all, the app tells you how many English words you need to learn every day. That's not all. It can also be very fun. The learning process is like playing a guessing game. Instead of just showing the Chinese and English meanings of a new word, the app asks you to first choose the correct picture from four, according to an English description. And then, you can practice remembering the new word in other ways. | Douban FM A digital radio app like a Douban FM might be the right music app for you. Without a playlist, you will never know what the next song is. Songs just keep playing one by one. You can use the "heart", "trash" and "skip" buttons to mark the songs you like, don' t like, and want to cut short. Those marked with a heart will be kept in another list as your favorites for you to enjoy again at any time you want. |
Moment Camera App stores have too many camera apps with filters. They are all designed to make your smart phone camera better. But which one gives you the best influence? Moment Camera. Many people like this app because of its sequence shots and different-sized frames for photos. But the best thing about the app is not what it does, but what it leaves out. It is simple, clean, and easy to use. | Flipboard It is one of the hottest news apps right now. But the difference with Flipboard is that you can make everything personal to you. Open up the app, choose whatever interests you, and click the "+" button. In the end you'll have your own magazine with news, articles, and information. So unlike the boring magazines you read in the past, you can be sure that every page of this one will interest you. |
