With almost 2 million titles available in the App Store, it’s hard to choose the best iPhone apps and which ones to install on your smartphone. In this article, we’ve rounded up the most useful iPhone apps from dozens of key categories.
Apps for communication
Microsoft Outlook
The lightweight and convenient mobile version of Microsoft Outlook for email exchange supports almost any account. There is even a separate box for important letters.
The app is frequently updated, available for Apple Watch, and supports 3D Touch. Unlike other Office Mobile programs, Outlook for iPhone is completely free.
Kik
Many instant messengers require a phone number that will be visible to your interlocutors when only a nickname is enough to work with Kik.
There are more than six thousand bots in the app’s database, and in terms of AI communication, Kik is far superior to both Facebook Messenger and Skype. In addition to this, there are group chats, photo and video sharing, and games.
Apps for entertainment
Netflix
Like some of the other services on this list, Netflix has already become a cultural phenomenon and made it onto the list of must-have apps for the iPhone. The company produces exclusive series like The Crown, House of Cards and Stranger Things. According to many users, they are superior to the content available on regular or cable TV.
Add here a huge collection of already released movies and series, and you get a service that has everything you need. And now most of the content can be downloaded for offline viewing.
Spotify
All the music in the world is collected in one place! Spotify offers a huge catalog of songs from every possible genre and even creates playlists based on your listening history. This music app for iPhone also has podcasts, when the content can be downloaded for offline listening.
You can also easily switch between devices. It is possible to use Spotify both for free with ads and without it – in the paid version. In addition to disabling ads, a paid subscription gives additional features such as listening in high quality with a bit rate of 320 kbps.
Apps for Education
Wikipedia
One of the best uses of a smartphone is to quickly learn something during an argument at a noisy party. And hope you are right. Wikipedia is the best service for finding information in our era.
What’s more, the iPhone mobile app returns results faster than any browser search, making it one of our TOP iPhone apps.
Flipboard is an app that collects content from your favorite social media, digital publications, and blogs and turns it into a kind of magazine. The application is free and requires only the creation of an account.
Flipboard looks especially good on the iPad. Thanks to the competent use of gestures, the application becomes incredibly convenient. It looks good on the iPhone, too, despite the smaller screen.
Travel apps
Kayak
Kayak is a great multipurpose travel app. It will help you find and book plane tickets, hotel rooms, cars, and much more.
The Apple Watch companion app shows all the notifications you need right on your smartwatch. Another plus is detailed maps of more than 100 airport terminals.
Weather Underground
Another great weather app for iPhone is Weather Underground. The standard weather service on iOS turns out to be almost unnecessary.
The secret to Weather Underground’s success is that the app has a wealth of weather information for your area, and the interface is simple and easy to customize. Even meteorological geeks will be pleased.
