There's
no getting away from it - a trip to the toilet can be a dull one.
Regardless of the intended length of stay, we're all glad of some
respite from the task at hand.
Magazines,
newspapers and books have all proved worthy toilet companions in the
past. These days, if you need something to help pass the time when
nature calls, it's likely your smartphone will make the journey with
you.
Today, I’d like to recommend 5 apps which will keep you busy on the
toilet.
No one
wants to come with you. Let's remember that straight away. On the
other hand, everyone loves a friendly game of scrabble. Words With
Friends is the perfect solution - it's an addictive, well-designed
take on a game which you can play against your friends. They won't
have to set foot out of their house, or, more importantly, into your
loo.
2)
Facebook
Check
out what your friends are up to, interact with them via live chat and
tell everyone what you're doing (after you've left the toilet!).
Facebook is the mother of all time wasting devices and its mobile app
has clearly been designed to be the perfect toilet companion.
3)
Evernote
Inspiration
can strike anywhere and often when you least expect it. Time on the
toilet can be reflective and thought-provoking. If it sparks an idea
for your next song, literary masterpiece or business empire, Evernote
is the perfect place to catch the idea, with brilliant note taking
ability.
4)
TuneIn
Radio
Nothing
suits solitary tasks better than musical accompaniment. Whether your
visit to the toilet requires some easy listening, bubblegum pop or
ear-bleeding metal, TuneIn Radio has just about every station you
could think of, available at the press of a finger.
5)
Flipboard
I've
already discussed the merits of social media on the toilet, but with
so many different services available and with little time available
to keep switching between apps, Flipboard is the perfect answer for
those who want to make their stay in the bathroom as brief as
possible. This pretty app groups together all of the content from
your social networks and displays it in a format which will be
instantly recognisable to any magazine-wielding toilet professional.
