Besides CuriousMind's suggestion you should also do the comparison this way:

if "%apps%"=="1" goto metrix
if "%apps%"=="2" goto nothing

Using quotes and removing redundant spaces is safer. You probably also want to write

echo metrix = 1
echo nothing = 2
set /p apps = where do you want to go to?

so that the echos are displayed before the question.

Remove the space before and after "=", in following statement.

set /p apps = where do you want to go to?
