Ten Apps You Absolutely Need to Try Out

At this time the following year, we will have more than one million apps to choose from for our iPhone's, and we managed to conclude that when we saw that there were approximately 750k apps right now. With so many of them, how can you decide which ones to install and put on your home screen?

Well, first things first, let's establish what a "must-have" means. There are numerous must-have apps that you already tried out because of their usefulness. We are going to skip the obvious ones like Facebook, Gmail, and Twitter. Those are vital for the majority of people, and you have already made your mind about whether or not they are useful to you.

So here's a list with ten must-have apps for your phone that we encourage you to download.

Dropbox

Nowadays, there are many cloud services to choose from, but Dropbox holds a high position on everyone's list because it works perfectly on every platform. Namely, Dropbox lets you store and view your documents, files, and pictures on your laptop, desktop, phone, or tablet as far as you're connected to the Internet. Another option that is worth mentioning is Google Drive. In case you have a Gmail account, everything will be just one click away.

Fooducate

Everyone thinks about food many times during the day, so we want to introduce you to this neat health app. When you find yourselves at the supermarket, you might be able to determine the health benefits of an item you decide to buy by reading the details from the label. The problem is that a bunch of people aren't familiar with the ingredients and terms that are used, which can lead to picking out unhealthy food.

Fooducate can assist us by scanning the barcode of the food item and showing us its "grade." The database of the app grades items according to their calories and little-known ingredients, which can give us an accurate picture of what we are buying for ourselves. The app will elaborate on why a particular item has a specific grade, and it will inform you of the item's health benefits.

BillGuard

This app is for folks who are not really good at controlling their finances as well as they'd like. If you relate to the previous sentence, then you should consider downloading BillGuard onto your iPhones. It has some similarities with well-known bank apps, but that's not all - BillGuard will help you control your spending habits. It is designed to remind you of irregular spendings and bills you have to pay in the future.

Let's say you managed to win money at blackjack in an online casino and you want to keep your money safe from yourself (in case you decide to play more and potentially lose your winnings), then you should strongly consider adding this app to your collection.

Vine

There is one social platform that is so good that we simply must recommend it - it's Vine. One would think that besides Pinterest and Instagram, nobody would like another app like this, but we assure you that Vine offers fun content that everyone will find amusing.

Namely, Vine lets you make and see videos that are six seconds long through a newsfeed like the one that Twitter has. The fun part of Vine is that you can follow users you like, and there is one more feature - the possibility of finding the best videos in a matter of seconds.

Duolingo

Picture a world where tools for learning a language are as helpful as, for instance, Rosetta Stone. In fact, you don't have to picture it because there is an app like that already - it is called Duolingo. Brains behind this app decided to devise a language app which uses a free lesson in order to help you become a professional at the language you desire to master.

Dashlane

If you fancy purchasing things from your sofa, Dashlane is an app that you simply must install. This app automatically saves payments and confirmation details which would have been somewhere in your email account. It helps you keep a record of your online expenses, and it simplifies the storing of your receipts. Dashlane can be downloaded free of charge, but the premium package is worth having if you often buy things online.

Google Maps

Every iPhone has the navigator app called "Maps." But if you are looking for the app that is accurate, we suggest adding Google Maps to your wishlist. iPhone's app "maps" have been known for confusing people and showing them wrong destinations, and nobody has the tolerance or time to deal with incorrect navigation instructions. To make our argument stronger, we can tell you that even Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, advised iPhone users to download Google Maps.

Buffer

Do you have aspirations of becoming a social media expert? If you do, with this app, you'll be able to schedule posts on Twitter, Facebook, Google Plus, and LinkedIn at the time when they can be most effective. Sometimes, it's not easy to pick out the right time to post something - that's what Buffer can do instead of you. Moreover, you can take a look at the stats of a particular post and see the result of its work.

Zillow

Many people have a hard time finding new places to live. We are sure you heard that someone was nearly homeless and that they didn't have the best experience on websites due to lack of information on them. Perhaps they weren't able to find anything good; everything had some kind of flaw; it seemed like they had their own agenda.

Well, Zillow is a blessing for these kinds of situations. This app can give you information on any real estate or property in your region, no matter if you want to buy it or rent it. It can also give you the information you seek in order to get in contact with the leasing office or the property owner.

Sleep Cycle

This app is basically the best alarm clock there is. As an alternative to selecting a time when you want to wake up at, you need to pick a time frame (i.e., between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m.). When you do that, you just need to put your phone next to you and fall asleep.

The app will calculate your sleep cycle, analyzing how well you slept and when you will hit the R.E.M stage. Then, when you are ready to be woken up, the alarm will go off. You'll be amazed when you get up full of energy after so many mornings when you didn't even have enough strength to get out of the bed.

Final Word

There are so many useful apps that you can download, but we picked out these ten because they are so unique and helpful that you will be glad we recommend them. We are sure everyone will find something from this list that is sure to come in handy at some point.
