We’ve all been there, lost in the parking lot, trying to remember where we parked our cars. The Find My Car app solves that problem. When activated, the app will show you where your car is on a map, and you can follow the map from there. If you aren’t great at reading maps, no problem.

2. Balanced

This app has recently gained a lot of popularity lately, simply because it is so helpful for achieving goals directed towards overall wellness. Balanced goes beyond healthy eating and fitness tracking, though it does a great job at tracking those things if you choose. It also keeps track of goals for mental well-being and pushes you to do things you feel like you don’t do enough. It offers helpful reminders and tips for accomplishing these goals and staying on track with a healthier lifestyle all around. The best part is it’s entirely customizable to help you do what works for you, and not what works for others.


3. Calm

4. Moves
