Sworkit Lite

If you’re busy it can be difficult to find time for exercise, let alone go to a gym and hire a personal trainer.

This is the free version of Sworkit Pro, but there are more than enough features to have you working up a sweat.

Weather Radar

The weather these days can be unpredictable, and without a right guide it can really mess up your schedule, so it’s wise to be prepared. Weather Radar from Apalon is one such guide, as this free app provides the info you need at your fingertips, as it can be used as a widget for the Notification Center so you’ll be informed instantly.
