There’s an app for everything, and that includes surviving the phase between summer and the rainy season: It’s still hot, sunny, and humid most of the time, then there would be a sudden, quick downpour whose only purpose, it seems, is to make sure our commute home from work takes longer than usual, and then it’s back to extreme heat again, just when you’re about to go to bed. Sigh. Thank God for smartphones. Keep yourself entertained, connected, and ready for any last-hurrah beach trips by downloading these apps on your mobile device:


1. Get fit for your everyday bod’ with KFit App.

Summer bod’ is so last season. Must you really only be fit and look great three months in a year? And who says beach trips are only for summer, anyway? The sun’s still out, it doesn’t rain everyday, so going on a spontaneous beach trip is still a good idea. Maintain a healthy, fit body with the help of the KFit App. It’s a revolutionary fitness app that helps you discover, plan, and book a variety of fitness, beauty, and wellness activities. At P999 per month, you can download and book instantly via the mobile app to experience an array of workouts to try.



2. Always be entertained by real-time stories and a daily dose of funny with Snapchat

Exchange real-time updates with your friends and family—whether on a trip or while stuck in traffic—through one of the coolest social/messaging apps today, Snapchat (click here for the 411)! The popular app lets you share moments with friends and even view Live Stories from around the world. You can take a photo or a video with it, as well as add captions, doodles, and even interactive filters for more humor when you send messages to friends. Your snaps can be added to your “story”– a 24-hour collection of your photos and videos, which you broadcast to your followers. You can also follow your favorite celebrities to see what they are up to.

3. Distract yourself with mobile games

For those days when the rain just dampens all your plans—getting you stuck in traffic for hours or at home with nowhere to go—mobile games are just a tap away! Recently, top game developer and creator of Clash of Clans, Supercell, released their breakthrough mobile game, Clash Royale that will surely get you playing nonstop! An uncomplicated strategy game, anyone can easily get the hang of Clash Royale and stay on it for hours. Available on iOS and Android devices, it’s a fast-paced, card-based Player versus Player brawler. Collect Clash troops and use them to conquer your opponent’s towers to win. This will keep you occupied for hours!


4. For laid-back staycations, rain or shine, stay hooked on HOOQ

Whether you’re taking a break from the heat in a hotel or your beach trip got cancelled because of the rain, staycations are a good excuse to relax and catch up on your favorite TV shows and movies. Whether it’s alone time or a sleepover with friends, make some popcorn and have an all-nighter with HOOQ. Asia’s first online entertainment video service gives you access to a library of thousands of international and local movies and TV series. Enjoy an assortment of feel-good movies and catch up on the latest series such as Supergirl and Ash Vs. Evil Dead.

5. Curate your new soundtrack on Spotify

Time to update your summer soundtrack with something to include rainy day-appropriate—perhaps senti or chill—tunes. Have a playlist of the latest tracks for each of the activities I listed above: working out, beach trips, staycation, or even entertaining oneself in heavy traffic. By letting you create your own playlist, Spotify offers the best music experience, with access to over 30 million songs! For instant soundtracks, check out some of their best playlists to match every mood and occasion.
