1 Smart phones have become a big part of our daily lives. Different kinds of apps make them fun and useful. Try out these amazing apps.

2 If you love animals but don’t often get the chance to travel and see them, you can still check them out using the Safari Central app. The app can get your address and find wild animals in your city. There are 3D images（图像）of six wild animals in the app, including cheetahs（猎豹）,elephants and bears. You can put them in your own pictures. They almost look like that they’re real. The app even has a photo competition area where every user can put up their photos and see what others have made as well. The app works with several wildlife protection organizations（野生动物保护组织）. Animal lovers can use the app to give money to these organizations.

3 Have you ever looked into the night sky and wondered what some of the stars you see are called? Star Walk 2 can tell you all about the stars and planets. You just point your phone’s camera at the sky and get a real-time view of the stars from the app. As you move your phone around, the app keeps adjusting to show you what is there outside of the earth. It tells you not only the names, but also the history and stories behind the stars. It also teaches you constellation（s　 星座）using 3D images. You can move the images around with your finger and get more details（细节）. It’s like an astronomer（天文学家）in your pocket.

4 Do you find it hard to wake up on time every morning? Are you often late for school? If so, you may need a more effective（有效的）alarm clock. While there are thousands of alarm apps, SpinMe might be one of the most useful ones. You cannot turn its alarm off just by pressing a button. The only way to turn it off is to stand up and spin（旋转）around while you are holding your phone in your hand. And spinning the phone while you are lying down on your bed won’t work. There is no other way to turn it off. What makes this clock more fun is that you can pick your favorite music for it. Maybe it can help you get up on time.

5 A melody（旋律）comes to your mind in the middle of the day. You think to yourself, this would make really great music. However, you don’t know how to compose（作曲）. Don’t worry. The app Chordana Composer helps you create your own music. You just need to enter a two-bar melody by using a virtual（虚拟的）keyboard or simply singing it. The app then composes a whole song using your melody. You can also choose the style of the music, such as pop, rock, or classical. You can set your new song as a ringtone（手机铃音）for your phone. You can also use the app to share your songs with your friends.
