4. Action Notch – Turn Your Hole Punch Into a Button

Now believe it or not this hole punch has been around for 7 years but there’s one really specific app that’s made to do something really cool with it.
So the app is called Action Notch and let me just show you how useful it is. Once you’ve downloaded and opened it up, if you select one of these settings like the single touch, then just select something from the list like scroll to the top.
Control Browsing or Gallery Scroll
Now let’s say you’re on the internet busy browsing through a bunch of products — if you just tap the hole punch — bam!
— it scrolls right back to the top.
Or if you’re scrolling the gallery and tap — hello. And another nice use for it is to get back to the top of your playlists in Spotify.

Besides that you get another two gestures that you can also assign to do different things from a list of like 35 different actions. For example:

5. Rooms – Addictive 3D TikTok-Like App
Explore 3D Rooms Like a Feed
Now for app number five let me show you one of the most unique apps you’ll ever see.
Okay so if TikTok, Animal Crossing, and Minecraft had a baby — then this app would be it. It’s called Rooms and it is just so damn addictive.
Visual and Interactive Rooms
When you first open it up it might look like a game but it is way more than that.
So basically you get hundreds of these rooms that other users have made — kind of like scrolling through a TikTok feed but in 3D.
Each room is either this awesome kind of trippy visual thing that you can wander around and mess with — or this is where it gets nuts — some rooms actually have games that you can play. And if you wanted to, you could create your own rooms too.
Create or Remix Your Own Room
So there’s this option to either start from scratch or (and I love this one) you could remix someone else’s room which takes their idea as your starting point and you can then put your own mix or spin on it.
Join Now
Satisfying and Addictive
The process of actually building your own room is weirdly soothing, incredibly satisfying, and again — super addictive.
6. Scamio by Bitdefender – Scam Detector for WhatsApp, Discord, Messenger
Avoid Scams and Fake Content
Now this next app isn’t really an app but it’s an add-on to WhatsApp, Discord, and even Facebook Messenger that everyone should be using.
Understand How Scammers Work
Last year alone $1 trillion — which is worth around the cost of 66 billion pizzas — was stolen. If you were to actually calculate it, that’s seven pizzas for every single person in the world that just vanished.
Paste Links to Verify Legitimacy
So here’s what everyone should do:
scan one of these QR codes depending on what app you like to use like WhatsApp for example. Once you scan it, this chat will open up and in here is where you can paste a link, a screenshot, photo, or PDF.
Get Instant Scam Verdict
You then ask if it’s legit or not and it’ll immediately tell you if it’s a scam like this. It’ll even give you some safety tips to check out. Or if it is legit, it’ll give you a message like this and then you know you’re good to go.
Developed by Bitdefender
This is called Scamio, and it’s by the brilliant guys at Bitdefender.
7. Ad Skipper – Auto Skip Annoying Ads
Skip Ads on YouTube Automatically
Now for app number seven — this one might just get me into a tiny bit of trouble if I show you guys… but you know what? For you guys, I’ll risk it.
Tap to Launch YouTube Ad-Free
It’s called Ad Skipper. Go ahead, download it. Once you do, open it up and you’ll see — well — there’s actually not a lot going on except for this one button: Open YouTube.
Automatically Skip Every Ad
If you tap on it, it opens YouTube. But now what happens is when you play a video and one of those lovely ads pop up — bam — this app will automatically skip it for you.
Simple Yet Useful
Instead of you having to find and tap the skip button — it’ll just do it all for you. Simple, but really really useful.
8. Auto Clicker – Automate Your Screen Taps
Create Tap Sequences
This one also touches the screen for you — but it takes things to a whole another level.
This app is called Auto Clicker.
Once you’ve installed it, open it up. Inside you’ll find two buttons — one for single target clicking and one for multi-target clicking.
Automate Repetitive Actions
Go ahead and turn on the multi-target option which will open up this menu.
Now this might look a tad intimidating at first — but trust me — it’s actually super easy.
Customize Tap Locations
The first thing you’re going to do is find out the sequence of taps you want to copy — like where exactly are the spots you need to click.
For example:
- I opened up the clipboard, tapped this plus icon and this is essentially my first click.
- For another click I tap the plus button and I want this to be on the send button.
Automate Messaging, Music, or Anything
Now watch what happens when I press the play button — boom — it just starts pasting and sending the exact same message over and over again.
Besides just using this for irritating your friends, you could use this in an app like Spotify — where it changes your music every 15 seconds.
