Have you ever had an experience with an app where you’re like “Oh wow! That is so cool?” I remember when I was pregnant, I was religiously using the What to Expect: Pregnancy and Baby Tracker. I would check everyday to see what fruit or vegetable my little one turned into. One day the app told me my baby was the size of a lettuce, so I went to the store to buy a head of lettuce and take a picture next to my bump.

This app changed my behavior and how I was viewing my pregnancy. It was giving me insight on what was going on biologically in my body — which was crazy!

Another app that me and a friend loved to use was Zombies, Run!. It’s a basic running app, except it has audio and visuals of zombies running after you.
Every run featured a story with zombies and it became so fun to run with my friend because we were competing together on who could collect the most coins and supplies to defend ourselves.
