Put your feet up and take a sip of that fruity drink – it’s summertime and here on the App Store, the livin’ is easy. Because when you’ve had enough of simply lazing around the pool, there’s a plethora of content ready to keep you entertained. Check out these great picks from our editors.
YouTube
What started out as an easy way to share fun, short videos back in 2005 has turned into the media juggernaut it is today. YouTube is a one-stop shop for entertainment, whether you’re after the latest from creators you love, documentaries, music or podcasts. Just try and get bored in this app, we dare you.
TikTok
If you’re unsure what kind of entertainment you’re after, TikTok has your back. On the For You page, you can find everything from comedians sharing stand-up bits and creators talking about their favourite things to someone rating other people’s watch collections without permission. Better yet, it could show you something unexpected that seems laser-targeted for your interests!
Snapchat
The social-media app that pioneered all the hot ways to stay in touch with friends, Snapchat is the ideal vacation buddy. Check in on your pals, maybe make them a little jealous with a Story of your vacay views, or check out Snap Map to see what’s happening around you and whether you should consider a trip to the local hotspots.
Twitch
Want to feel part of the action? Then Twitch is the app for you. Follow your favourite streamers from your sunlounger as they share what they’re up to in real time. Whether they’re battling their way through a hard videogame or making something cool in the creative space, there’s always something interesting going on here.
Crunchyroll
If you know about isekai, shonen, mecha and the like, we don’t need to tell you about Crunchyroll. But for those who don’t: Crunchyroll is the premier source of anime for most of the globe, offering not just classics and underground hits, but also the speediest ways to watch the latest episodes of hit shows, straight from Japan. Perfect for making a relaxing chill sesh a little more exciting.
