The app title is pretty much what the app is. It quizzes you on the locations of countries on a map. I really like this app because in helps me study for AP Human Geography class and the Exam. The app is really easy to use, but I don't like how there are ads that pop out a lot.

Nearly everyone has heard of Skype, the video chat app. It's really a great way to communicate with those who you may not live near, for free. I use it nearly all day on both instant messaging and video calls. It glitches out , sometimes interrupting the call or freezing up, but it's nothing that can't be fixed by a restart. Really like this app!

I am a huge fan of the board game Scrabble, so of course I like this app. You can play Scrabble with a computer, a friend, or another random person. It requires Internet access when playing though, so that's a little disappointing. Otherwise, it's a fun game for those who love word games.

Shazam is a music identifying app. When a song is playing on the radio, at a party, in a restaurant, etc. and you want to know what song it is, Shazam it! I use Shazam all the time when I hear a song a like. It is so much easier than trying to remember the lyrics and look them up. It also displays lyrics and provides a link to iTunes so that you can purchase the song. Great, easy to use app that simplifies daily life.

This app is extremely user-friendly, with a nice interface and simple usage. It is a complete dictionary, with origins, pronunciations, parts of speech, and synonyms for nearly all the words. There's also a "voice search", in which you speak the word and it will try to find it (very helpful if you don't know how to spell the word). By far my favorite dictionary app, as the 3 others I tried just didn't cut it.
I would recommend this to: Everybody

It seems that the app "Pandora radio" is all the rage, but I seriously dislike it. It was a cool concept at first, but as its development progressed it gradually became worse. Each station continually plays the same songs over and over, many songs are unavailable, and the ads are incredibly irritating, along with the fact that if you "dislike" a song, it will continue to play it in the future regardless. If you are an apple user, I would highly suggest using iTunes radio, which I have never been disappointed with.

This app is a fun game in which you must direct the path of a "chemical" from its starting point to the end. There isn't much educational value, but there's 135 puzzles that get progressively harder.

This app is a moderately fun game designed by Disney. It's simple and easy to play, and the in-app purchases aren't required for it to be fun. The graphics are clean and cute, and there's a huge variety of characters to play with. There is one downside, and that is it requires internet access, but otherwise it's a great app.

This is a "Productivity" app that is incredibly useful when I don't have access to my computer. It's pretty much a word processor, and its the best I've used besides Microsoft Word programs. It has tons of options for color, font, size, etc., and has 64 pre-made templates for any project you could think of. The only complaint I have is that it's hard to type full essays on such a small keyboard, but this is no fault of the app.

Trivia Crack is a mobile app game that allows users to compete with friends and people worldwide. The game's questions are based on 6 knowledge categories: Entertainment, Art, History, Science, Geography, and Sports. A player may start a new game and can choose to play against one of their Facebook friends, a friend they have, or they can play against a random opponent. The player starts with 6 empty slots, one to store each of the characters, and an empty 3-slot "crown gauge." The player tries to populate the crown gauge by spinning a wheel and correctly answering the presented question. The player will repeat this as long as he/she answers questions correctly or obtains all 6 characters and wins the game. If the player answers a question incorrectly, their turn is over and control of the game is passed to their opponent. The wheel consists of 7 slots: 6 category slots (one for each knowledge category), and a 7th special "crown" slot.
This is a pretty famous app game. Not only is Trivia Crack educational, it is fun. You can get competitive with this game, and even if you lose, you want to keep on trying. The graphics are really nice and colorful. I usually play in English but sometimes I play in Japanese to test myself with my Japanese.
Trivia Crack is an addicting game and you can have fun while learning.

With the Pandora app, a person can listen to "radio stations" based on an artist or song name (typed in when creating the station) or one of the many genres provided. The songs that will be played on the station can not be manually chosen, but thanks to the options provided you can influence what is played. Pandora is wonderful for discovering new artists, or even just exploring genres you are already familiar with. It's funded by ads (unless you upgrade to the "premium" version) but they aren't really all that obtrusive and no benefits are lost if you don't upgrade. I definitely recommend this app to all music lovers, since everyone's sure to find something they like while using it.

Overdrive is, without a doubt, one of the best apps ever created. Using it, Kindle Fire owners can instantly (or after a little while if there's a waiting list) check out audio and e-books using their library accounts. This is the one app I use every day because I absolutely love audiobooks more than anyone really should. (That was a joke.) If you have a Kindle Fire, but don't have the Overdrive app, then you are sadly uninformed and really should go get it right now because you will more-than-likely appreciate it.

The Music+ app is absolutely fantastic because not only does it contain a large variety of songs, but it also allows you to download them for free. Every time I hear a song on the radio that I like, I can find it in the app. I simply type in the name of the song or the artist or both and it usually has it. The quality is great and I can download the songs directly onto my laptop to transfer to other devices. They even have a top charts section that lets me look for new songs by genre.

Taylor Edwards never felt like she stood out-except for her history of running away when things get too complicated. Then her dad receives unexpected, terrible news, and the family makes the last-minute decision to spend the summer together in the cramped quarters at their old lake house.
Taylor hasn't been to the summerhouse since she was twelve, and she definitely never planned on going back. Up at the lake she is confronted with people she thought she left behind, like her former best friend Lucy, and Henry Crosby, her first crush, who's all grown up. Suddenly Taylor is surrounded by memories she'd rather leave in the past-but she can't run away this time. Will she get her second chances?
I love this book because it is all about facing what you ran away from and treasuring the gift of a second chance given to you. This book can teach young girls an important lesson about doing so
