Are you crazy about cats? Now you can add images of cats to any photo. The cats will ‘meow’ as you place them on an image and you can even give them laser eyes. Its popularity may be partly due to endorsem*nts from cat-crazed celebrities like Taylor Swift and Katy Perry.

If you struggle to get out of bed in the morning, this unusual alarm app may be for you. You simply set your alarm as you usually do and then a stranger will call you when it’s time to wake up.

Now you can wake up on time and possibly make a new friend in the process!

“If there’s something strange in your neighbourhood, who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!”

Have you ever been hesitant to go to the bathroom while watching a movie because you don’t want to miss out on the good parts?
