There is more mobile apps than just social media. Here are four current favorites for teenagers.
MyHomework
It seems that there is never an end to schoolwork. Keeping track of what you have to do and making sure it's done when the teacher wants it require good planning. So this app allows you to track classes, tests and homework. It's free. But if you pay a small extra charge, you can get access to the official website and receive homework reminders. This app has been around since 2009 and has been constantly updated ever since.
TaoMix2
This is a perfect app of light music, also known as white noise music. TaoMix2, launched in 2016, provides various natural sounds to wipe off your worries, including birdsong, light rain, mild wind and other comforting sounds. Thankfully, you can deepen your state of calm while enjoying the light music.
FaceApp
Currently very popular in the U．S., FaceApp, released in 2017, is a highly entertaining app that changes your face in strange and funny ways. It can take a photo of your face and age it, or make it younger, force it to smile, or make faces. It can even change your sex. Isn't it funny? With a score of 4.7 on Apple's App Store, FaceApp is the top hit in many countries.
Monument Valley
It's been available since 2014 and is as popular now as it first appeared. Monument Valley is a game, but it has more to offer. Its millions of fans say it's more like a beautiful artistic experience in sight and sound than simply a test of the player's abilities. Your job is to guide Princess Ida to her destination. To do that you must lead her through unusual buildings and enchanted (被施了魔法的) forests. It's not free, but the quality of the game makes it well worth the money.
