App stores are crowded places these days, and because storage space on your phone is often at a premium, you’ll want to fill it with not only the best, but also the most helpful apps out there. Because they come and go quicker than the latest fashion trends, and digging through Google Play, the iTunes App Store, or any of the others is such a mission; a little nudge in the right direction is often very welcome. Here are the apps we think you need to check out this week.

Just about every part of the Web has evolved significantly over the past years. Websites are more vibrant, fluid, and functional. Social networks are more uniform and controlled. Messaging services are much easier to navigate and populate with friends and family. Then there’s email, with its catch-all inbox that serves primarily to be flooded by newsletters you don’t remember signing up for and unsolicited communication from people you’ve never met. No one truly enjoys dealing with email, it’s just the mode of communication that has withstood the tests of Internet time.

Zero aims to finally modernize the inbox to make it a place you don’t fear visiting. The app aims to sort your emails by importance, utilizing an algorithm that notes who and what matters, so those messages rise to the top. It also shrinks emails down to summarized cards that can be browsed through like a social feed, giving it a familiar feel and making it much easier to get the information you need, and when it comes to cleaning out your inbox of unwanted messages, all it takes is a swipe.
