Never be afraid to learn and explore something new everyday. Only focusing on one thing isnt as much the answer to finding your niche as entrepreneurial self-help pop culture has led you to believe. The irony about apps is that eventually I feel chat bots are going to replace them. Remember in 2002 when to text someone you had to use the number keys on your phone? Yeah, well when bots are fully implemented, typing directions into a map app on your phone to find the coffee shop youre suppose to meet your friend at will seem just as prehistoric as texting. I chose 5 apps that vary in topic so hopefully everyone reading this will find at least one useful for their tastes.


Here are 5 apps with amazing function maybe you haven't heard.


1. Breaker
Quite simply the best podcast app on the market. It allows us to bring up pretty much any Podcast in existence, see what our friends are listening to, see how popular a podcast is, and save any one that we want on my phone to listen to later. The app has a very user friendly format making it easy to find just what youre looking for. Great for while in the car, at the gym, or before headed to bed at night. Definitely put this one in your app toolbox.


2. SmileTime
SmileTime is onto something. Their core belief according to its founders is connection through passion. It allows people to find people who have similar interests to go live together. As Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, and Instagram know quite well the future is in connection. SmileTime takes that to the next level. Hmm Something is cooking at SmileTime. Check it out.


3. Fiverr
Fiverr has been around a while and will be around a long while longer. Whew. Tongue Twister. Anyway, it will remain for this simple reason: Its reasonable priced outsourcing. This is candyland for people who have various tasks that need to get done that they dont know how to do or dont have time for. If you need a website, a logo, a gift card idea, or help with something you just frankly dont know how to do check out Fiverr.


4. Nuzzel
These days people are using social media quite a bit to consume online content. Nuzzel saves you that time and frustration by curating your news or content reading desires based on what is being shared on social media. The articles that are being shared may not necessarily be the ones you want to read however it will save you the hours of scrolling time. It will track your social interests of what is being shared and what you are reading.


5. Hitlist
Hitlist is a travel app. Beautifully designed and highly useful, the app allows you to curate where you want to travel. When deals come up for those locations it alerts you. But its so much more than that. They let you know the best times to travel to a specific place and also show you the places your friends want to go so you can plan trips together. For those world travelers out there or those just simply looking to plan a family trip or flying solo, Hitlist is the premiere travel app to use for 2017 and beyond.
