We all have a ton of apps on our phones. Almost everyone has the big ones: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc etc. But, what about the little known ones that are super cool (and sometimes super useful) that you might not have heard about? Here are a few that fit that category.

Apps

2. Power Nap

Power Nap will wake you up from your nap before you fall into a deep sleep, so you don’t wake up groggy. Perfect for college students. Download links: Google and Apple.

3. Songza

Working? Relaxing? At the gym? Songza plays you the right music at the right time. Sort of like Pandora but music based on your activity. Download links: Google and Apple.

4. Walk Me Up! Alarm Clock

Walk Me Up! is unlike any other alarm app you would have used. It stops ringing only when you have walked a certain number of steps. Another must for college students who oversleep. Download links: Google.

5. FastCustomer

FastCustomer lets you reach a real person at the companies you call most, without waiting on hold. The app calls the company, navigates the tree, waits on hold and calls you when the other line picks up. A must have app for those who like random road trips. Download links: Google and Apple.

6. Venmo

Venmo allows you to send money for free and transfer it to any bank account overnight. Its a great way to split bills without having to hand over cash. Download links: Google and Apple.

7. Waze

Waze is the world’s largest community-based traffic and navigation app. Join other drivers in your area who share real-time traffic and road info, saving everyone time and gas money on their daily commute. Download links: Google and Apple.

8. Zombies, Run!

Zombies, Run! is an ultra-immersive running game and audio adventure. It uses your Google Maps and adds little zombies around you so you have to walk around them in real life or get eaten on the game. Great way to make walking to classes fun. Download links: Google and Apple.
