The best apps to make you more informed
by bernt & torsten
In my case I use a few apps that make me more informed to allow me to make quick decisions on my daily activities, the first thing I do before getting out of bed in the morning is to check weather and the news, living in Amsterdam knowing what the weather will allow me to dress accordingly as I commute by bike to work.
If I know the exact minute it’s going to rain, I will be prepared for it when riding my bike, I have collected the best apps that I use on a daily basis.
