Here is a list of tried and tested apps that will make your life a bit easier.
Over the last few years, the smartphone has become more than a device we use to call people and send text messages. But it’s easy to get overwhelmed with the sheer number of apps — there are more than a million apps in Apple’s App Store and Google’s Play Store. So we broke out the most useful apps we use every day. You should probably use them, too.
Spotify can be your go-to music app
The service gives you access to nearly any song — well, except maybe songs from Taylor Swift — on demand and allows you to download music for offline listening. One of the popular Spotify features is Discover Weekly, a customised playlist that’s updated each week with music the streaming service thinks you’ll enjoy.
Free (with ads and limitations) or $9.99 per month
Mvelopes help you manage your money
One of the popular money management budget apps, Mvelopes Budget App tracks and manages your daily spending with your weekly or monthly budget inside the app. You can also receive feedback on where you have spent your money and how much you have left. The free version lets you create 25 categories of envelopes that sync with four bank accounts and track your online transactions as well.
Free (offers two upgrade options)
Weatherproof your day with AccuWeather
Through AccuWeather, users can get weather updates every 15 minutes. (Image: Twitter)
AccuWeather is the one of the best weather apps out there. It tells you what the weather will be like throughout the day, has a minute-by-minute precipitation forecast, hyper-localised to your street address. You can also customise what you expect from AccuWeather, and get forecast updates every 15 minutes with information for the next 15 days, in 33 languages and dialects.
Free
Trust Google Photos to organise and store your pictures
Google Photos is the best way to store your pictures. It backs all of them up, works on multiple devices and organises them based on what’s in them. The app has intelligent search, so you can look for a photo just by typing in a location, like ‘Paris’, or a thing, like ‘beach’, ‘mountains’, or even ‘selfie’. You just have to be OK with giving Google access to your photos.
Free
Pocket is how we save articles to read later
Pocket allows users to save all interesting stories, videos for later use. (Image: Twitter)
Chances are that you see really interesting stories or videos online, but you may not have time at that moment to look at them. Pocket solves that problem. It is an app that collects and saves all of the stories you want read. It has browser extensions, so all it takes to send an article from the desktop to the app is a click of a button. Pocket also recommends articles based on your interests.
Free
RescueTime
The RescueTime Time Management offers accurate automatic time tracking of your mobile apps, reports, your voice call time, share where your website time is spent and more. It is one of the best time tracking apps that runs in the background without you doing anything and helps you to stay productive.
Free. Pro Solo RescueTime costs US $9.00 a month
Stay fit with Human activity tracker
Human tracks all your activity throughout the day, helps you to move at least 30 minutes every day, and shows how you compare with other people in your city or neighbourhood. So everything it does is designed to help you learn, improve upon and feel good about your activity levels. It has a neat user interface with an ever-changing background picture.
