iPhone is primarily designed for communication purposes, therefore the most necessary applications have to make it even more comfortable. At the same time, we want our smart gadget to be a great help while we travel, study or seek for an entertainment. Today Apple App Store consists of thousands of applications and most of them are completely free. We’ve made our research and selected 13 applications, which may be useful in everyday life.
1.Snapseed
Even couple of years ago high-quality photo editing was possible only with the help of a computer, but today this process takes a minimum of time and can be done directly on a mobile device. Snapseed is one of the best free apps for iPhone (and not only, as it was actually created by Google) that copes with this task perfectly.
Unlike very popular Instagram, which offers a very limited number of filters, Snapseed allows to thoroughly edit an image. After making changes to the pictures, you can also save the list of corrections made and transfer these changes to other pictures. Snapseed is able to trim and fit the image to the desired size or frame format.
2. Office
This is the official Microsoft application, designed to create and edit Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents directly on the iPhone. Moreover, files may contain graphs, diagrams, animations, shapes and SmartArt graphic elements. The application provides access to email attachments, as well as to the SkyDrive service, so you can open documents stored in the cloud.
3. Dropbox
Dropbox is another great app for those who deal with tons of documents. Dropbox helps to place files on a reliable server with an anytime access to them. The only thing the user needs is the Internet connection. Developers offer all users 2 GB of space in the “cloud” for free. This number can be increased for an additional fee. Thus, you can view, edit, copy and delete documents, movies, photos and other data as if they are on your device. But in fact, it will be stored somewhere on the Web. You will have an individual access to your data but can also share it with others through a unique link to a particular file.
4.Shazam
Shazam is a real pearl for all music fans since it is able to guess almost any song that you hear on the radio, in your favorite coffee shop or in a movie. The user just needs to be connected to the Internet and in about 10-12 seconds Shazam will provide you with the information about the title of the song, album, year of release and even a link to a video on YouTube. The recognized track can be downloaded right away via quick access to iTunes, added to a playlist and shared via Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or WhatsApp.
5. Pocket
Despite the fact that it is already 2017, there are still places where we cannot find an Internet connection. Using Pocket, you can save articles, news, blog posts, videos, etc., and then read and watch them offline. In addition, saved material can be synchronized between any devices on which Pocket is installed, to view the files in the most convenient format.
