Attend Walmart’s star-studded summer camp
Walmart teamed with interactive-storytelling app Eko to launch a free virtual camp with more than 150 fun activities for families. Here’s the best part—it’s staffed by a few names you might know: LeBron James teaches sports and mental wellness, Idina Menzel teaches singing, Drew Barrymore takes on a blindfolded makeup challenge, and the whole thing is hosted by “head counselor” Neil Patrick Harris. To find it, look for “Camp by Walmart” in the Walmart app. New activities will be added regularly.
Tune up your photos with Quickart
From the photogenic makers of Facetune comes the one-tap photo editor Quickart, which instantly applies wild, artsy filters to your pics. With a single tap, the app can add double exposures, clever glitches, artsy flourishes, and special effects like dispersing your subjects into little particles, Thanos-style. (Pro tip: It’s especially handy for your Portrait mode photos.)
Visit Palm Springs with Andy Samberg
‣ In Hulu’s sunny new rom-com Palm Springs, Nyles (Andy Samberg) and Sarah (Cristin Milioti) find themselves trapped in an endless loop at a California wedding.
Drop back into Tetris
‣ Stack blocks to clear lines in this stylishly revamped version of the iconic puzzle game. Choose a graphical theme (Neon Future, maybe?), then go for high scores, play with pals, or test your mettle in battle-royale-style matches against dozens of other players. A chip off the old block!
Move on up
‣ Become the chief architect of an amazing (and totally implausible) building in Lego Tower. Put a blacksmith studio next to a farmers market, or a dinosaur museum above the lobby! With classic sets and popular brands like Ninjago at your disposal, the only limit is your imagination. And the permit office.
Shhhhhhhh
‣ Need a new summer read? Check out Libby, an app that lets you browse your local library without leaving your living room. (Bonus: You can be AS LOUD AS YOU WANT.)
Clean out your junk mail
‣ The United States Postal Service delivered 77.3 billion pieces of marketing mail in 2018. PaperKarma unsubscribes you from the catalogs, flyers, and coupons cluttering your IRL mailbox: Just snap a pic of the logo or return address on the offending piece.
