 Communication apps are extremely popular nowadays. They are great ways to communicate with friends and family when you are apart and also gives users a way to meet and talk with new people. It can also be used in the classroom and the workplace as a way to have open lines of communication with students or employees. This blog focuses on one of the many communication apps available to users: Telegram. Telegram is a chat-based app that allows users to talk with existing contacts in their phone or search for nearby users using GPS functions. It has a 4.3 star review on the Google Play Store and has over a billion downloads worldwide.

 Collaborating on projects in the 21st century may mean that you never physically see the people you are working with for a project. This has become increasingly prevalent in a post-COVID world where hybrid and remote jobs are in high demand. It's also great for students in online courses to have a way to collaborate with each other on group projects. The app this blog will review is a whiteboard app called Miro. Miro has a 4.7 star review and over a million downloads on the Google Play Store. I was excited to get into the app after seeing the reviews and looking at the demo photos in the store description.

  Gaming on mobile devices is a popular way for individuals to game on their own time. Traditional console systems only allows users to play the game while they are at home (or where their setup is). Mobile gaming has changed the way gamers can access games and some of the major gaming brands are looking at mobile gaming to increase their franchises and interest in their products. Mobile gaming has come a long way and gamers can now experience a whole console-style game on their phones. I selected a game that is more simple to use and more of a casual gaming experience. The game is called Resortopia. It currently has a 4.6 star review on the Google Play Store and has over a million downloads. It is rated E for everybody, so it doesn't have a stated intended audience. The overall goal of the game is to rebuild the resort and make it successful.  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
