Have you ever wondered how many mobile apps there are in both the Google Play and Apple app stores combined?

It’s probably not something you think about on a regular basis but the number is staggering.

It’s over 2.5 million.

There’s no way you could ever weed through all of those apps to find ones that work best for you without wasting an exorbitant amount of time.

There are apps for everything imaginable.

So, the last thing you want is another one to download, right?

But before you log off, hear me out.

There many apps available that can make your life easier, help you get more done, become happier, and connect with more people.

You Can’t Win ‘Em All

Not every mobile app is right for you and just because all of your friends are raving about one that’s made their life easier doesn’t necessarily mean it’s going to work for you.

This is why you need to set certain criteria when you’re searching for a new app.

So how do you decide which apps get the honor of hanging out on your phone?

In this episode of the Spin Sucks podcast, we talk about all the apps and how to decide which ones are for you.
