Are you already preparing for the season of winter sports and swinging shovels over a blanket of snow in the yard? Good physical fitness before hitting the snow with skis or a board is of course important, but also consider mobile applications that can further improve and optimize your sports adventures on the snow.
Applications
What's not nice to spend your free time in nature, away from the hustle and bustle of traffic, the office and flashing screens? Nevertheless, there is no need to completely separate nature exploration and sports adventure from technology. There are more and more advanced and innovative applications that can help us with navigation or have other useful functions that every athlete and adventurer wants. Here are 5 apps every adventurer needs.
Do you know which apps drain the battery the most and slow down your smartphone? You can guess twice. Yes, Facebook. But Facebook is not the only culprit that makes your phone run slow and unreliable despite good hardware. AVG's research pointed the finger at many other apps that not only eat up the most of your battery, but also slow down your phone and take up a mountain of memory. Check which are the real leeches of the battery and the "kryptonites" of the smartphone.
Instagram has announced Boomerang, a new app for making 1-second videos that will change the world of gif creation forever and bring the popular social network even closer to its users. Not to mention that it will once again successfully sweep the competition, which (for now) is trying in vain to be more innovative.
Pause is an app designed to help us relax and clear our minds at the same time. It's part game and part digital lava lamp.
A quality digital camera, associated lens(es), tripod, external flash, and photo processing software are must-haves for any photographer. Now we can safely add to this Snapp Guides, an application or interactive guide to destinations, which is the fruit of the Slovenian-British connection and collects funds for further development on Kickstarter, and makes it easier for the user to find the best locations for landscape photography.
Win or Snooze is a Slovenian application that will make the mornings when the alarm clock wakes us up more pleasant. Tadej Štrok, Žiga Aljaž, Neven Cvijanović, Jure Lajlar and Sašo Pompe are behind the project, which will turn your morning awakening into a game. If you like the idea and would like to get rid of the problems of getting up in the morning, support the project on Kickstarter, where the team is raising funds for further development.
Most of us use our smartphone a lot every day, but only a few of us know how much time we actually use it. The Instant app gives you insight into exactly this information and much more. It's available for iOS and Android devices and provides you with a number of statistics, from how many hours you've spent on your phone in total to how much time you spent on each app. Be prepared for a shock! Sending messages, visiting Twitter, Facebook, etc., looking at the time, all of these add up to a huge amount of time. But how much really?
God Chad Kroeger and the Nickelbacks. First they make fun of his looks and their music, recently Avril Lavigne left the singer, whom he married in 2013, and now they will possibly become an app phenomenon, as the Nickelblock app appeared, which with their songs discourages you from would stalk your ex online.
The wildly popular photo and video sharing app Snapchat has received an upgrade that is likely to boost its popularity even further.

Do you want a change but don't know which hair color to choose? It is an important decision, because this is not painting the nails. Last but not least, people also judge your character by the color of your hair. That's why women probably wish they could just "try on" the color they want first, like a dress in a store. Thanks to the Find your VS Shade application, an application that helps you choose the right hair color, now you can, and without bearing the consequences of a wrong decision, because you can virtually check how the chosen color shade would look on you.
