We use every bit of technology we can to make our lives easier. There are apps to help us plan just about everything we want to do. You can manage your bank account, make payments, do some shopping, track your fitness, compile your accounts and many other things, all by tapping on a small icon that takes you into the app. Some of the best apps on the market though are the ones that are for relaxation and help you unwind after a hard day at work or looking after kids.
Technology gave us smartphones that have improved with every new model, and all those advances have made the technology behind apps more useful.

You no longer have to buy a physical book from a store or even buy a digital one online. There is no end of online libraries in the US, some of which let you read any book for free. There are textbooks, fiction, maps and just about any other kind of book you can think of. If you like to unwind with a good read, download one of the American Library apps and you will soon be able to read to your heart’s content.
Online games are one of the most popular ways people unwind. From adventure games to puzzle titles and slots to roulette in online casinos, you do not have to look far to find something you will enjoy. The advent of virtual reality and artificial intelligence is expected to make these games even more exciting, no matter your preference.
Online Music
It was William Shakespeare that coined the phrase ‘if music be the food of love, play on’ in one of his plays. Perhaps he should have said, ‘if music helps your mental health, play on’, because several studies have shown that listening to music is one of the most relaxing things you can do. Of course, there are lots of apps that will let you download the music and store it to your device. Sometimes you have to pay a small amount for them, and others you pay a monthly subscription to, but then you can download or stream as much music as you want.

Streaming online films and TV programs is becoming more popular than traditional TV channels and cinemas. The beauty of a Netflix app, for instance, is that you can watch them when you want, and not when the TV operators say so. The only problem with these apps is that you pay to watch the content for the country you are in. This means that if you are in the US and go on vacation to Europe, you could have to wait to see some episodes of a series you are following. This seems to apply to all the streaming apps, but some people get around it by using a VPN.
Here we have mentioned just four ways that apps can help you unwind. There are no doubt others, but as with everything in life, it is down to personal choice.
