The iPhone is the Apple device that has been with us the longest for obvious reasons (it is a phone and fits in your pocket) for this reason it is very complex to make a selection of the best iPhone applications since, on this occasion more than ever, these will depend on the specific user profile, that is, if it is used above all to communicate, or to entertain us (videos, games ...) or on the contrary it constitutes another work tool for us . Despite this complexity, we are going to make an attempt to propose the ten applications that should not be missing on your iPhone.
Applications that should not be missing on your iPhone
As always, we leave out the native applications and Apple invoice as essential, especially for those users fully immersed in the ecosystem of the bitten apple and its synchronization system through iCloud, and we enter third-party applications.
We have already talked a lot about Flipboard, this magazine / news aggregator that we also use in Applelised and that has become a An indispensable tool for anyone who wants to be promptly informed of any matter that interests them. We can add from our favorite social networks to media such as El País, El Mundo, follow the magazines of our contacts, our favorite blogs and even create our own.
Here little more needs to be said. With Twitter Words are unnecessary because their ability to disseminate content and information is enough for be part of the top ten iPhone apps. As on other occasions and I have already mentioned, there are clients that even surpass the original app in functionality, but here we focus preferably and if nothing prevents it in applications "for everyone".
Although I personally consider that Line has become, almost since its inception, a better and more complete app, the truth is that WhatsApp still holds the throne of instant messaging. Soon it will offer us free calls through the application (as others have been doing for a long time) which together makes it indispensable for instant and free communication.
DropBox
DropBox is that other great known to practically everyone. Storage of practically all types of documents in the cloud, possibility of automatic synchronization of our photo roll, possibility of access to documents without internet connection, possibility of sharing documents or folders with our contacts and perfect synchronization of all our DropBox in all the devices where we have it installed, on the web and on our Mac or PC. Our most necessary (or not) documents available anywhere, at any time and from any device.
Evernote
As we already said with the 10 best iPad apps, «With its notebook system, its multiplatform nature, its powerful search engine or the large number of file types that it supports, we will be able to store, catalog, classify, share ... web pages, images, screenshots, audio notes, pdf and a long etcetera. It even searches through handwritten notes »and text on pictures. «In addition, we can share notebooks with any user so it is ideal for teamwork and, especially, for the education sector as many experiences have already shown. For all this, Evernote is always present among the best applications for iPhone.
And for those who most like to exercise or just go for a walk accompanied by their iPhone ...
Google Play Music
This Google app, totally free, allows us to take with us practically our entire music library, up to 20.000 songs, regardless of the capacity of our iPhone. Thus, we will have plenty of space for applications that we consider more important.
But if your thing is to discover music while you walk or resting in your armchair ...
Spotify
With its new and exquisite design and its new free mode Spotify lets you discover all the music in the world, follow hundreds of playlists, follow your friends on FaceBook, your favorite artists ... yes, only in random mode otherwise, you have to pay.
And while you listen or discover the best music you can practice exercise or control all your activity.
RunKeeper
RunKeeper is also a free app specially designed for those who like to go for a walk, practice running ... with which you can establish routines, plans, goals as well as share your activity, check the elapsed time, the distance traveled or the calories burned.
Moves
But if for various reasons you do not exercise or at least you do not do it as you should and you are still worried about your physical activity, With Moves you can control all your movements. It works in the background, so you don't have to open it every two by three, and it records all the steps taken, the distance traveled on foot, running, cycling, in transport, the time elapsed, the places where you have been and The calories burned by presenting it to you every day is a minimalist and illustrative "timeline." In this case it is a paid app (recently acquired by FaceBook) but with a respectable price and that is very worth it because with Moves you will no longer need an electronic bracelet to record your activity. But it also turns out that right now it is free; I do not know for how long but take advantage.
Google Maps
There is not much more to say about Google Maps that we no longer know. Google Maps is the perfect GPS that takes us anywhere from anywhere on foot, by car or by public transport giving us all the necessary indications. He was my faithful ally during the first month I went to live in Seville and since then he has been on the main screen of my iPhone.
As I ventured at the beginning, this is nothing more than a "personal" selection whose greater or lesser validity will depend, fundamentally, on the main uses we make of our iPhone. What do you think? Should we change any of these apps for others that have been more effective for you?
