Apple revealed last week that it has more than 700,000 apps in its App Store. Google isn't far behind with 650,000 in the Google Play store.

With this huge amount of apps, it's easy for some to get lost in the mix. There are 400,000 iPhone apps, for example, which have never been downloaded. Not even once.

Between the hits and the duds are solid apps which make your day better. We're highlighting a dozen that we think are amazing, but don't get enough recognition.

Check these out and play around with them. You might discover a new favorite.
