are just some of the apps that many people use on their smart phones on a daily
basis. While they are certainly entertaining and they do help pass the time,
they also drain your battery faster than usual. If you're waiting for an
important call or if you need to use your phone later on, using these apps

battery, you should get a portable powerbank.
