We're all facing a major disruption in our regular routine, and chances are you've probably been coping by remaining glued to your smartphone screen (like me). Well, don't worry: there's more helpful ways you can use your device to stay entertained under quarantine.

Many apps and platforms have started making some of their resources freely available for everyone to use as we weather this pandemic as a global community. Here are a few of our picks to stay entertained and maybe, even learn a new skill or two!
