11 Best New Apps of 2016

Everyone remembers apps like Angry Birds, Temple Run, and Flappy Bird. They kept you entertained while you waited in line, listened to a boring lecture, or even when you used the loo. After the hype of using those apps died down you probably went back to using you regular go-to apps like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and today’s favorite Snapchat. But even those apps get a little boring sometimes. But let’s be honest, it’s been awhile since an app caught your attention. Luckily, I have a list of new apps that climbing the charts. And let me tell you, they’re worth checking out!

1. Superfly

If Snapchat and Periscope had a baby, then it would probably look a lot like Superfly. It combines live videos with comments, filters, and animations! It’s a lot of fun, and if enough people join in then every conversation is bound to be a memorable one.

2. Beme

Take all of the apps you know and love and throw them out the window! This is a new type of social media app that makes sharing your personal life to the world simple and unfiltered. This app forces the user to capture raw moments without having to worry about editing, angles, and the like. Honestly, you have to give it a shot!

3. Slither.io

Have you been looking for a game to play lately? Well, look no further because this app takes you on a wormy adventure! You have to fight to become the biggest worm, one wrong move and it’s game over!

4. Houseparty

Everyone has that moment when you want to share huge news with a big group of people all at once. And let’s be honest, sometimes that group chat of yours just doesn't do your enthusiasm justice. So look no further because this is a video group chat app! C’mon you know you’ve been dying to have this!

5. Recolor

Everyone’s noticed that coloring books have officially made a comeback. But let’s be honest, not all of us have the money to spend $15 on this hipster fad. So why not get a virtual coloring book instead? It’s simple, fun, easy to use, and most important FREE.

6. Sweat with Kayla

Have you been looking to get into shape? Maybe try out a new recipe here or there? Well, Sweat with Kayla is a new up and coming app that is meant to help you to just that! No gimmicks, just a girl trying to help you feel like your best self through fitness!

7. Ummo


Do you say a lot of um's, like, you-know, etc, while making speeches? Or even while making regular conversation? Well, if you want to fix that problem then this is the app for you! Think of it as you personal speech coach, it can be a lot of fun!

8. Watchi

Many of you have probably heard of, or even had a Tamagotchi. Let’s be honest, sometimes you probably get a little nostalgic and wish you could play with one again. I’m happy to tell you that this dream can come true if you download this app!

9. Parachute

Going somewhere new this weekend? Maybe you’re a little scared because you’ve never been there before. Well, if you want to feel a little safer then download this app. Parachute does everything a phone could possibly do during an emergency. It records discreetly, blacks out your screen, broadcasts your location, etc. It’s worth having if you’re traveling somewhere alone and want to feel just a tad bit safer.

10. Lauren Elizabeth

Do you like Pinterest, fashion, food, fitness, beauty, and the like? This is the perfect app for you! You will receive amazing life tips from Lauren Elizabeth herself. If you don’t know who she is then you’re missing out! She’s funny and has an amazing style. You can learn more about her here. Don’t forget to check out the app while you’re at it.

Everyone’s wanted to learn that one instrument before. So here’s your chance! This app helps you learn an instrument of your choice very easily. It has professional tutorials and helpful coaching. Don’t miss out, start learning now!

There are millions of apps on the app store. But too many go unseen. You carry around this amazing little gadget with a door to so many different platforms. Don’t get stuck in the ongoing circle of basic apps. Try something new!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
