Are you feeling bored during your Eid trip? Whether during a long drive, waiting at the bus stand, or just lounging around your hometown, it's the perfect time to explore new apps that not only entertain but also engage your mind and senses. Instead of endlessly scrolling through social media feeds, why not try out some fun-filled applications? From brain-teasing trivia to relaxing colouring, here are five handpicked apps that promise to make those idle moments more enjoyable during your Eid trip.

Dilemo 

If you prefer more low-key games over fast and action-packed games, Dilemo brings a fun and intriguing trivia game. This app offers a unique and interactive interface to test your knowledge in multiple categories like series, movies, anime, pop culture, science history, and many more. Dilemo is a great game to play solo, with friends, or against strangers.

With minimal storage requirements (358 MB) and compatibility across iOS and Android, Dilemo is bound to keep your mind and fingertips busy. 

Sky Guide

If you're an Apple user, there's no better app than Sky Guide to maximise your star-gazing experience. For those who find solace in the night sky, Sky Guide turns your smartphone into a pocket planetarium. Aim your device towards the heavens to identify stars, planets, and constellations. Additionally, you can stay up-to-date with astronomy news, customise your notifications to get notified of important astronomical events around you, and learn interesting facts on celestial objects. There are two add-on subscriptions available for this app - Sky Guide Plus and Sky Guide Pro, and both have a one-week trial period. If you're visiting remote countryside with poor connectivity this Eid, no worries. Sky Guide can function without Wi-Fi, cellular service, or GPS. 

Colorfy 

Reduce your stress levels and unleash your creativity with Colorfy, a colouring book app that features simple and complex black-and-white art pieces to colour to your heart's content. You can also upload your own drawings and bring them to life with colours using Colorfy.
