1. Fast Customer
Do you get fed up of waiting on hold to speak to customer services? Than this is the app for you. It`s a service that lets you spend your time on more important things rather than sitting around on hold waiting to speak to someone at customer services.
So when you need to contact a company you select the number from a list of 2,500 customer service departments and then when somebody is available for you to talk to your phone rings. It`s like the customer service team are ringing you and not the other way around.
If the company you are trying to contact is closed a message will appear informing you so you know when to try again.
There are some limitations with the app but all in all it`s a great service we recommend you trying.

2. Zombies, Run!
Do you find it a struggle to motivate yourself to go jogging? Then check this app out. It is one of the best cell phone apps for working out with some eerie zombie game elements mixed in to make the experience much more enjoyable or should we say much more scary.
It works by using a gps to track your runs. It can tell where you are, how fast you are going and motivates you to run faster and longer by scaring you into thinking you are being chased by zombies. Which it does very well.
