Game:
Wordle is a website that has a five-letter word game that has swept its way through every demographic. No matter who you are or your age, you have either played or heard of Wordle. Wordle’s initial eruption was followed by the New York Times buying the domain and owning the game. It is an extremely simple game, but it has people hooked. The simplicity mixed with the ability to share on social media has everyone Wordling on a daily basis.
What came after this eruption of Wordle? The Wordle app of course!
The Wordle game is now available in the Apple app store for free. Its continued growth is due to the fact that the target market is everyone. It is unreal the levels it has reached. I went out to dinner with my grandparents over spring break and I found out that Wordle has reached the elderly community. My grandmother has a group chat where she shares her daily Wordle with a group of her best friends.
The main advantage of the app is the simplicity. It is extremely straight forward, yet it can be very challenging. It appears so easy that it keeps people coming to the app, but the challenge they face every time they play is what keeps them returning. Another advantage they have going is that it is extremely addicting. The method of only letting people play once every 24 hours is genius and makes players so excited every time they get to play.
A disadvantage of this app is that it is one of the games where it could very likely be a fad. Are people still playing Wordle a month from now? You never know. The simple games always come and go and rarely stick around for the long haul. It is similar to an app like 2048. Everyone was playing this game and then one day you noticed that nobody was. Does Wordle have a month left? A year left? Can they figure out how to make it immortal? Only time will tell whether it tops the charts of the app store for another week or another year.
If you somehow haven’t ventured to the Wordle app, I would recommend you give it a try. It is an easy-going word game that doesn’t demand more than a few minutes of your day. It is fun way to communicate with friends by sharing your scores.

Adobe Premiere Rush is an app I had to use for work last semester to edit videos while covering live WSU sporting events and it was surprisingly very high quality and an extremely quick method to prepare videos for social media with just an iPhone.
Adobe Premiere Rush is the mobile version of Adobe Premiere built strictly for smartphones. It allows you to edit videos vertically or horizontally and make cuts, insert transitions, add music, and many other capabilities.
The target market applies to a wide range of people. Editing videos and creating content has become an extremely popular hobby and skill that people learn, and this app makes it easy to learn and grow with just your iPhone.
The advantage of this app is it allows the user to do something they normally would need a laptop for on their smartphones. The advancement of the technology to reach this point with this much power at your fingertips is astonishing.
This app works as the ultimate beginner’s tool to enter the realm of video editing. It allows you to learn where you feel most comfortable (on your phone) and will eventually lead to you editing on your computer.
The disadvantage with this app is that the price does hinder the number of users. Adobe charges ten dollars a month for the service which it deserves. The app is high quality and manages to do everything you need when it comes to quickly editing videos.

Workouts by Muscle Booster is a fitness app that assists the user in helping them perform when going to the gym. It helps track your growth while also providing the needed exercises to maximize your time in the gym.
The gym can be a very dangerous place for your body if you perform your workouts incorrectly. Long term and short-term damage are extremely common when high weight actions are done with poor form. This app leads you in the right direction to make sure that your form is correct as when you first start lifting weights it can be very challenging to figure out what to do while you are there.
Going to the gym is very beneficial for your physical health while also being very helpful to your mental health. The target market for this app is for anybody who needs that extra push to finally start going to they gym. The age group is anywhere from 16 on up. When they download the app, they will look at the provided workouts and realize that they could be effective with their time in the gym.
The advantage of this app is that working out is a popular thing. A good portion of people go to the gym and the amount that go there and do not what to do is also high. It can be a frightening thing being in a massive building with a bunch people you do not know and trying to work out. This app can be the bridge that gets you over the hump to make it to the gym.
The disadvantage of this app is that there are quite a few of them out there. Fitness apps are very popular, and it can be hard to distinguish yours versus a different app. This app is free and has a month free trial which is very valuable because if you make it through the first month you probably will not need the app anymore.
