Survive the holidays with your
phone by your side

By App Man,
Mobile App Aficionado

Welcome, welcome, welcome.

App Man is here, to recommend
YOU the best apps of the week.
Each week, App Man will have

an unexpected theme for you to
discover and enjoy. And don’t
forget! If you have any cool apps to
share, email App Man at
appman@gmail.com.

Ne that December is here,
everyone is planning ahead
for their holidays. Some are
undecided on what gifts to get,
some are thinking about what’s
going to be on their dinner
plate, and some just hate the
holiday season. Either way, why
spend so much time on pleasing
everybody else so their holidays
can be satisfying and pleasant?
Why not spend some time

with your phone, where you
can watch videos, play games,
learn how to use chopsticks,
and watch celebrities beat up
citizens?

know where to get you some.
