1. Anti Mosquito – Repel Mosquitos with Your Phone |
|
Summer brings with it mosquitos, which means itchy bites. But instead of using chemicals or zappers, you can just install an app on your phone. These apps use high-frequency sounds that the human ear can’t pick up, but mosquitos can’t stand. For maximum effect, hook up the smartphone to loudspeakers. Download for iOS |

2. Aqualert – Stay Hydrated |
|
In our daily routine, it’s easy to forget to drink, and water is vital for our wellbeing. By using Aqualert you’ll have a helpful sidekick that will remind you to sip on some water by sending alerts to your phone throughout the day. It’s particularly helpful during hikes and prolonged exposure to the sun (at the beach, for example). You can install it on your kids’ phones and keep track of how much water they drink. |

The Daily Yoga app has over 50 sets for training, and 400 different yoga positions, all displayed through pictures and videos. Even if you’ve never done yoga, the app will teach you, and help you set a plan to lose weight, relieve stress, or ease sore muscles. |

4. Medicalog – Track Your Family’s Health |
|
This application lets you track the medical conditions of both you and any of your family members. The interface is simple and straightforward.
