  Aurora

  Aurora is both a podcast client and a podcast discovery tool. The app makes it easy to find podcasts you’re interested in with featured collections curated by the app’s editors and puts all the shows you follow into one feed. You can subscribe to shows you like or check out the topical collections for episodes from several shows with similar themes.
  
  Pro-tip: You can stream episodes straight from the app or download them to play later.
  
  Free: iOS

  Kamcord

  Live streaming your phone’s screen isn’t just for esports, at least, not if Kamcord has anything to say about it. The app allows users to live stream whatever is on their phone's screen while other users tune in and comment as they watch. Popular streamers can even get in-app "gifts" from their fans, which translates to real-life cash.
  
  Pro-tip: While on Android you can cast your screen natively from within the app, iOS users will need to connect their devices to a computer in order to stream, though anyone can watch the streams of others.
  
  Free: iOS and Android

  'Loop Mania'

  The goal of Loop Mania is deceptively simple: Make it around the circle one full rotation while collecting all the coins and avoiding the enemy circles, also orbiting the circle. You can bounce around to different areas of the circle with well-timed taps but each level adds more and more enemies to avoid.
  
  Pro-tip: If one of the circles hits you, you'll die but if you land directly on it you can kill it.
  
  Free: iOS

  Register to Vote

  If you’re not registered to vote, Register to Vote can help you do so without ever leaving your house. All you need to do is scan your driver’s license, fill out some personal details — like your full name, birthday, address — and select a party affiliation. Once you’re done, the app will do all the hard work for you — submitting the registration to your state.
  
  Pro-tip: The app supports voter registartions in California, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Arizona, Colorado and Massachusetts.
  
  Free: iOS

  Rex

  Rex is premised on the idea that the best recommendations for you will come not from Internet strangers but from the people you already know. Share recommendations — be it restaurants, books, movies, or just about anything else — to the app and friends and people in your network will see them.
