Ever go to the gym and just have no idea what you’re doing? I feel that because I was in that exact place before downloading Workout for Women.

On the in-app calendar, you can keep track of all of your workouts, as well as seeing how many calories you’re burning with each workout.
If you’re a traveling college student or just left to take weekend trips, this app should be on the first page for you. Waze is the best GPS navigation app in the entire app store.

While driving, the app will warn you of nearby potholes, roadkill or any other danger you need to look out for. Driving over the speed limit?

I wouldn’t dare try driving up to school with any other app. Waze also provides nearby food, gas stations and how far off the route they are. This app is every traveler’s BFF.
