APP OF THE DAY: StumbleUpon

Randomly generated pages to keep you entertained with fresh content

StumbleUpon
Cost: Free | Developer:StumbleUpon | Platform:iOS | Version 2.52 | 7.1MB | 4.0+

I don’t know about you, but I seem to find myself bored of most apps on my smartphone after a week. I am always looking for some way to stay entertained during my long commutes to work.

This is where StumbleUpon comes in. As an extension of the website, the app is a random website generator that operates based on your selected criteria.

To use the app, you can either sign in with Facebook, or make a StumbleUpon account. Once you have done that, you browse a large selection of interests, ranging from ancient history to video games, and tick that in which you are interest.

From there, it’s simply a matter of pressing “Start Stumbling”, and the app will do the rest of the work.

You can also filter your own interests in case you are only after a certain subject matter.

Additionally, you can follow other users and choose favourites.

The generated pages range anywhere from comics and images, to articles, news, music, and videos.

Pros: Free, simple, always offers new things.

Cons: Can generate uninteresting pages.

Verdict: A really good way to stay entertained when you’ve exhausted all your apps.
