Whether you’re on the hunt for a favorite food truck, planning a date night or struggling to navigate the Silver Line, we’ve found an app to help.

Sosh

Planning your weekend doesn’t have to be a chore – just ask Sosh. The app gives personalized recommendations for activities based on your location, interests and even the weather. You can tap one of the app’s seven categories, which range from “Classes & exhibits” to “Date spots,” or choose from options like “Get a sweat in” or “Take a coffee break.” You can also bookmark activities for another day, share your favorites with friends and get Metro directions.

Food Truck Fiesta

Get the most out of your lunch break with Food Truck Fiesta, an app that tracks the locations and hours of your favorite food trucks on an easy-to-use map. The app follows more than 70 food trucks in the D.C. area, including GW favorites like Captain Cookie and Bubble Tea Licious. You can also read customer reviews for each vendor. Because the app mostly uses Twitter updates from each food truck to find its location, there’s no guarantee that the app’s directions will be right every time. But as the only D.C.-specific food truck app to date, Food Truck Fiesta is worth a download.
