September 19th, 2018 by Irwin Fletcher Comments

The daily commute can be a real grind. Delayed trains, stuck in traffic, late buses, can all add to a miserable start to a day. And that’s before you even get to work.

For the most part we now spend these journeys glued to our mobile phones, scrolling through the likes of Facebook and Twitter. However, there are plenty of other ways to keep yourself occupied too.

There are thousands of amazing apps out there to enjoy on the daily commute, from organising your life to just enjoying a bit of downtime.

We take a look at the best type of apps to enjoy on your daily commute. You never know, it may be a life changer…

Google Docs

Some of us like to get a head start on the day and as well as syncing your emails up to your phone, it’s also possible to work on your spreadsheets and Word docs too.

Google Sheets and Google Docs are perfect for getting stuck in to a bit of work on your way in to work. They’re easily shareable, can be paired up with your Google account and operate just as well as G Docs on your PC.

Online Casino

Why not add a little thrill to your journey and replace passing through boring commuter towns with a glittering of Las Vegas. 

There are so many online casino apps out there today, with some of the smartest technology making them more life-like than ever before.

You can download apps like Ladbrokes casinoor visit them through your mobile browser and you could even earn a bit of cash on your way in to work.

Dating App 

You never know where you might meet the love of your life. It could be on a night out in town, it could be on the 07.58 service to Washington DC.

There are a dozen or so dating apps which take into account your location, with users now having the ability to swipe their way through potential partners before settling down for a hard day’s work.  

The likes of Tinder and Bumble are among the most popular, both finding potential matches within a set radius to you.

Trivia Games

Testing your brain is always a good way to get your mind focussed for the day. In some cases, such as Words With Friends, you can even play and communicate with your friends.

By playing trivia games you’ll sharpen your mind and leave you ready to get started as soon as you walk through the office doors.
