The iPhone is taking over the world, well, kind of. From a social and technological perspective it seems like everyone will have an iOS device at some point. That makes it pretty reasonable that the iOS application marketplace is going to be booming too. In order to help new iOS owners out we decided to curate 8 of the most useful apps around, so check ’em out!
Duolingo
Duolingo
At some point in time you probably had the daydream of being multilingual and impressing all of your friends, right? No? Well, we did… And that’s where Duolingo comes into play. As we are no longer in school anymore we really can’t rely on taking a ton of Spanish or French classes in order to impress anyone anymore. Duolingo is a great solution that helps you learn a new language (from a list of 10 options!) in just your spare time. With easy to perform quizzes, real life applicable sentence education, and a point system that keeps you yearning to learn more there is no better and faster way to become proficient! Duolingo is a fun app that is great for people of all ages that want to become bilingual.
Uber
Whether you are in a big city or just a suburb that is slightly out of the way, this Uber app could be just the pick me up that you need — literally! Uber has become increasingly popular thanks to its affordable offering as an alternative to traditional taxi services. Merely install the app onto your iPhone and turn on your GPS. From there you can schedule a pick up within minutes from a nearby Uber approved driver. You can pay with your linked PayPal or credit card accounts with the app, making this a perfect response to those drunken nights where you don’t want to deal with cash or driving your car. The Uber service is offered in over 50 countries and growing every single day. What sounds more appealing: hailing a cab at rush hour or pressing a few buttons and having your ride glide to a stop in front of you? That’s what we thought.
Spotify
Maybe we thank piracy for the evolution in online music streaming or maybe it’s just a part of the evolution in technology. No matter who you want to thank, make sure you get your hands on the Spotify iOS application. Ever since Spotify hit the marketplace this music streaming application has been killing it. With all of the music you could possibly want to listen to available at the click of a button, what’s not to like? There are two different versions of Spotify available on the iOS marketplace. There is the free version which as advertisements and also prevents users from downloading songs for offline use. If you opt instead to pay for the other version of Spotify you will have no ads during your experience and you will be able to download songs for consumption even when you are offline or have your mobile data off. Either way, there is no other music app like this out there that is even worth mentioning. So get Spotify soon!
Snapseed
The iPhone has been consistently lauding its technology for years and the camera functionality is part of that praise. For some reason, however, iOS software has never a default camera app that was worth your time or worth the quality of the camera. That is where Snapseed comes into play. Snapseed is a photo editor that was designed by Google intentionally for touchscreen devices. The interface is simple and easy to manipulate using just your fingers, which is a big problem in other applications. There is also a ton of content within the application to. You can do timely tweaks and artistic adjustments or you can go over the top and play around with the various filters available. When you are done you can download the picture onto your phone and share it through any other means necessary: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and so on. Utilize your camera to its fullest extent by getting your hands on the Snapseed app!
