Why should your body be the only thing to shed weight in the new year? For 2014, resolve to cleanse your cell phone of unnecessary apps just as you resolve to cut out carbs from your diet. Maybe you loved these apps once, maybe you hooked up with them because someone told you to, or maybe you don’t even remember how they came into your life. Doesn’t matter! The time has come to purge them from your system. We swear you’ll feel instantly lighter.

Bump

Time was right: Bump helped define the iPhone. Just tap your phones together and instantly share contacts! Business cards are dead! Long live the trees!!! It’s this great promise that led to the networking app’s ubiquity shortly after launching in 2009. So why is it likely to be the least-used app on your phone? The practical issues of using Bump—setting up your profile, turning the app on in order to share contacts—turned it into a digital-dust-gathering novelty, not a networking revolutionary. Kick this app to the curb.

CNN App

Mobile phones were supposed to revolutionize the way we got news. So why is it that our CNN app always seems to tell us what we already know? Instead of excitedly keeping us up-to-date on the important stories of the day, it disappoints us with an incessant barrage of push notifications we secretly hoped were a text from last night's date. And then there is the context of these notifications. Does CNN really think we need to pull out our phones to know what Kim Kardashian just ate? Or what stupid thing Sarah Palin just said? Truth is by the time we learn about what's happening in the world from Twitter, Facebook, or, hell, our friends texting us, we don't need CNN to remind us 20 minutes later. Delete this thing and you'll save yourself from a few minutes of frustration every day.

Draw Something

Sure, this OMGPop app was one of the fastest-selling mobile games in the history of the iPhone. Everyone and their mother downloaded the pictionary rip-off and enjoyed hours of virtual artistry. It even prompted Zynga to purchase OmgPop for $180 million dollars. But that was two years ago. Today, your obsession with Draw Something has been replaced by your obsession with Candy Crush. Or Dots. Or Quiz Up. Odds are you haven’t opened Draw Something in at least six months. (Don’t worry. There are no new challenges waiting for you.) So go ahead and get rid of it. Oh, and same goes for Words With Friends while you’re at it.

Facebook Poke

In late 2012, Facebook took aim at the latest threat to its social media empire, Snapchat, with a native app dedicated to the most mysterious of Facebook exchanges: the poke. Though curiosity led to a flurry of downloads, Facebook Poke hardly made a dent in Snapchat’s growing popularity amongst selfie-hungry teens. It is safe to say that even if you must poke, you don’t need a dedicated app to do so. Delete away.

Fatbooth

Laughing at how you and your friends look with an extra 20 or 30 pounds on your face lasts all of about, what, five minutes? So why on earth are you still keeping this picture-altering cheap thrill on your phone? And worst of all, it's likely not the only one you're keeping: apps that make your face look old; apps that switch your face with someone else's; apps that turn your face into a cute manga-ish avatar. You had your (limited) fun, but that's no excuse for why these apps are still taking up valuable space on your homescreen.
