With the power of iPhones, we can do incredible
things on the go. We can manage bank accounts without speaking to a teller;
water the lawn at home while on vacation; monitor and track our heart rate.
Then there are apps that have absolutely no use, aside from
curing boredom.
These are the ones you probably hide in a folder to avoid
explaining yourself to nosy friends. Well, it's your phone, and you can have a
virtual boyfriend if you want to!
If you need to pass the time or keep yourself entertained,
consider these 10 apps for your "fun" folder.
Do you love cats? Do you love music? (Do you have a pulse?)
This app combines your love for both, so that you can
channel your inner Keyboard Cat. It has various cat noises, drum beats and a
cute smiling kitty interface.
Ever had one of those days when you wish your boss would be
snatched up by aliens? (Totally hypothetical question.)
This special effects app turns amateurs into the next
Spielberg. You can smash a car, shoot lasers, drop a concrete ball on someone's
head...
This app is well worth the $1.99 download. There are free
versions with the same concept, but this one allows you to control where
exactly the face is located. Then you can adjust size, placement and skin tone
to make the face swap look more natural.
This might possibly be the most obnoxious app in the App
Store. Choose from Jersey-native sounds, like "Smushing Call" or
Snooki's high-pitched wail. There's even a broken horn.
When you need to interrupt someone in the middle of an
unwanted conversation, simply whip out your phone and blow, then watch the
person stare at you in silent bewilderment.
Started from the bottom, now he's in your iPhone as a
personal dress-up doll. Choose various outfits, accessories and settings for
Drake — all while listening to karaoke versions of his songs. Also available
for iPad.
Ever reminisced about your teen years? Perhaps you forgot
they were filled with hormonal angst, pimples and metal mouth-wear. Or maybe
you were fortunate enough to never wear braces. In any case, this $0.99 app
will remind you how good you look with a tin smile.
Most of us can only imagine what it'd be like to hang out
with Justin Bieber, sans a million screaming tweens. Luckily, there's an app
for that.
Surprise all of your friends by putting a different side of
the Bieb in every photo. There are enough stickers to last you a year's worth
of profile pics — maybe two years, if you purchase the $4.99 expansion packs.
Unfortunately, the photo loses its quality as soon as you save, so it looks blurry
off of a mobile device.

Cards are boring, plus most never have what you really want
to say. But for $1.99, you can spice things up with an animated head that
records your voice with various terrifying effects.
Once you've made a video, the app let's you easily share it
with friends and family, by email, Facebook, YouTube, or save it on your camera
roll.
Prepare to cuddle in a coffee shop with your iPhone, which
holds the virtual love of your life. Who needs a real man when you can
pre-determine destiny with a series of code? This guy gets you, and understands
the things that really matter, like Rihanna's new hair.
Fun fact: There are fire-breathing dragons flying around the
air right now, even above your head as you read this. Or there will be, after
you download this incredibly important augmented reality app. Watch in sheer
terrified amazement as dozens of dragons appear out of thin air through your
phone.
Perhaps you've always wanted to channel your inner Daenerys.
In that case, there's also a virtual pet dragon feature that allows you to
throw fire on your mortal enemies.
