With the surge of apps coming in from all over the place, it’s tough to search through them all. Many look appealing but how many of them are of really good use? Here, we’ll look at three apps that actually perform a useful function.
PlayTime Internet Radio

So far, users have given it high marks. Give it a try. It’s free.
Photomath: Camera Calculator
With the pressure to perform in school and on the job where math is required, makes this new app just what the doctor ordered.
Photomath allows for you to solve simple and complex mathematics problems on the go. It’s like magic the way it works. There are several ways to gather data to solve a mathematics problem. You can scan a formula to get an instant result, you can enter the formula via the keyboard, you get the answers with detailed explanations.
Photomath handles basic arithmetic, decimals, fractions, linear equations, and algorithms.
Not to take the place of good old fashioned brain work, but Photomath can come in handy in several ways. It can be used for doing schoolwork, on the job calculations like in construction or even programming. Baking and other culinary doings often call for some quick math. Researchers can use it in the lab as well as law enforcement. Solving those tough math problems can mean the difference between success and failure, and with an app like Photomath, things look like to be done a lot easier.
SpinMe Alarm Clock
For the sleepyheads out there that struggle to get up in the morning, here comes SpinMe, an alarm clock that forces you to get up and spin around to shut it off. This could be dangerous for a person just bolting out of bed and trying to get their bearings. First you have to reach for the phone, then spin around until the alarm stops. Spinning around could cause dizziness so even though this app is developed for waking people up, if one doesn’t watch oneself, one could end up in a hospital.
It’s a three stage process to turn this app off. You have to stand up, turn around 2 times, then one more time to shut the thing down. Again, if you survive the vertigo, this will definitely keep you awake.
Overall, these three apps serve a practical use. That’s what an app should be for.
