2015 is here! I can't believe how fast 2014 flew by. With a new year, people tend to set new goals or resolutions. Along with many others, I plan to continue my goal of finding ways to simplify my life and finding new ways to save money throughout the new year.
Another popular goal or resolution that almost everyone tends to set each year is to improve their health by losing weight, eating healthier and exercising more. Families are already relying on technology in their daily lives. U. S. Cellular is happy to help people leverage the available technology to enhance and simplify their lives so they can enjoy better moments with family and friends over the New Year and all year long. A recent survey found that more than one in four U. S. smarphone or tablet owners plan to use their smart mobile device to help them keep on track with their resolutions. Now is a great time to review your smartphone. Are you able to use your phone to help achieve your goal. If not, maybe a new phone would be helpful. U. S. Cellular has the latest phones available to help - Apple iPhone 6 or a Samsung Galaxy S5. Their 4g LTE network, with speeds of up to 10 times faster than 3G would be helpful in downloading helpful apps.
Below are some great apps that help you reach your goal and resolutions in 2015:
- The Runtastic Six Pack app is great for those looking to lose weight or get in shape. This free app allows users to work out from home by creating custom work outs with a virtual personal trainer which will show users the proper way to do new exercises.
- The Runtastic Six Pack and its 50 workout videos can also be paired with the UP by Jawbone - a fitness wristband. It can track what you eat, any activities throughout the day and your sleeping habits, then suggest small changes that will help you reach your goals.
- Getting organized is another popular resolution, and we all know how hard it can be. The Any.Do app is an award winner that’s perfect for enhancing any to-do list. The app allows you to create lists of tasks that need to be completed and organize them by category and importance. You can set alarms and also easily sync your tasks from your mobile to your desktop to help stay on top of any to-do list, no matter where you are.
- Many people resolve to see more of their family members throughout the year. The GroupMe app allows everyone in the family to stay in touch and make plans, no matter where in the country they are located. This app allows users to create several groups in which each member can share events, photos, videos and texts.
- Saving money is a recurring resolution for many. According to a 2014 U.S. Cellular survey, 43 percent of smartphone users made the resolution to save money in 2014. In 2015, smartphone owners can accomplish this task with the Check app. The free app allows users to link bills, bank accounts and credit cards. The app then notifies users of when a payment is coming up and even lets users set up automatic payments.
Additional Information:
U.S. Cellular has developed a Parent-Child Agreement that can guide the conversations parents and children have about cell phone usage. The agreement is customizable so that families can make it work for their specific needs. You can find the agreement here.
