If You Don’t Already Have These Apps, Get Them Today
They say your iPhone is only as good as the apps you use on them. Okay, maybe no one says that, but that doesn't mean it isn't true.
While your iPhone is a great tool on its own, if you don't have the right apps, you aren't taking full advantage of it.
Most of us already have a list of useful apps we love using, but that doesn't mean there aren't many other apps that are worth checking out.
At the end of the day, your iPhone is meant to help you in your life, and it can only do this if you have the right apps for the job. Whether you want to protect yourself against online threats, learn a new language, or just keep your photos safe, there's always an app to help you.
From VPNs to artificial intelligence and apps to help you reach your goals, we've put together a list of just a few of the must-have apps you need on your iPhone.
ChatGPT App
It wasn't until recently that OpenAI finally released its very own ChatGPT app on the App Store.
Now, you can take full advantage of the power of AI on the go. All you need to do is download the app, and you can start asking ChatGPT for advice or help with some of your daily tasks.
The app is free to use, so there's no reason why you shouldn't get it on your iPhone ASAP. While the initial release was US-only, it's been expanding to new countries almost daily, so keep an eye out for it to show up on yours if it's not there already.
Virtual Private Network Apps
A virtual private network, or VPN for short, is more important than you think.
Using a VPN can literally save your life, especially if you like using public Wi-Fi. With a VPN, you can hide your IP address and encrypt your connection, making it harder for marketers and cybercriminals to get a hold of your private information.
Moreover, a VPN can help you access pretty much any type of content around the world. You can open different libraries on streaming services and watch content you won't find in your home region.
There are many options for VPNs, but here are few to get you started:
- VPNSecure: This VPN offers over 45 servers around the world. Moreover, it doesn't track or store your online activity, and it hides and protects your location almost instantly.
- FastestsVPN: With this VPN, you can give access to up to 10 users. Likewise, they can use it on Android, iPhone, or your computer to connect to one of the over 550 servers it has available.
- BulletVPN: BulletVPN is available on many different platforms, and you can use it on up to six devices. It's got over 119 servers in a total of 51 countries, and it also offers a free smart DNS service with your lifetime subscription.
Walli
Walli is a pretty straightforward app: you open it, select a cool wallpaper you like, and use it on your iPhone.
You can find countless amazing wallpapers for free, but if you want to have complete access to all of Walli's library, you'll need to subscribe to its service. The good news is that you'll also be helping independent artists along the way.
Language Learning Apps
Learning a new language has never been easier, thanks to your iPhone. There are already many apps that will help you crush your goals and start learning a new language in just a few months.
With so many options available, it might be hard to choose the right one for the job. Don't worry, though; here are the best language apps you can get right now:
- Rosetta Stone: This is an app with over 27 years of experience that counts with the trust of big names like NASA. You can learn up to 25 different languages in the form of small ten-minute classes you can access from anywhere.
- Babbel: Babbel is one of the most popular apps for learning a new language. Thanks to all its features, bite-size sessions, and amazing classes, you'll be talking a new language in just a few months. Plus, it's got an offline mode to take your classes on the go.
Strongify
If you're ready to start a new fitness journey, then Strongify is the best companion you could ask for.
This app will help you track all your workouts with a simple, easy-to-use interface. You can use some of the app's workouts or add your own, and you can keep track of all your accomplishments and the health metrics you need to know about.
The best part is that it also comes with widgets and an Apple Watch app, so it's even easier to track and record your workouts.
Sticky Password
In today's day and age, managing passwords is hard. We all have to memorize a lot of different passwords for each service we use. Sure, you could use the same password across all your platforms, but that would be too risky if someone gets a hold of your information — and even the biggest sites are getting breached all the time.
That's where Sticky Password comes in. This password manager makes it completely hassle-free to keep your passwords safe and secure. Not only will you have lifetime access to one of the most secure password managers online, but you can also choose the store your passwords on your device, so you know no one will be able to get a hold of them.
Besides storing your passwords, Sticky Password also lets you autofill your passwords across the web, so you don't have to worry about entering your data.
But one of the coolest features is its emergency access. You can let someone else access your data in case something happens.
Pocket is the easiest way to store all your most important links in one place.
With this app, you can save any article you find interesting so you can read it later. You can start reading an important article on your computer and then continue on your iPhone without having to copy the link and send it to yourself.
If you don't like reading on the web, you can save your articles in Pocket and then read them in the app. Pocket gives you a reading view that removes any distractions so you can focus on the article you're reading. It even comes with an option to listen to articles, which is perfect if you're always on the go.
Daily Mindfulness
Taking care of your body is important, but it's just as important — if not more — to take care of your mind.
Most of us are busy folks dealing with worry and anxiety in the back of our heads. If that sounds familiar, you might want to try Mindfulness.com.
This app offers lifetime access to over 2,000 different mindful practices you can try on your iPhone. It also adds new mindful meditations every day of the year. That means the top mindfulness teachers in the world can guide you through different medications 24/7.
On top of mindfulness practices, you'll also get access to different sleeping tools that can help you sleep better and be more relaxed at night.
Streaks
Trying to become a better person takes time. And building up the habits you need to succeed can be hard if you're doing it on your own.
Fortunately, your iPhone and Streaks can help. This very simple app will let you keep track of all the days you've been doing a good habit or all the days where you stopped doing a bad habit.
What's cool about this app is that you can also use it on your Apple Watch, which makes it really easy to keep track of your progress. Plus, it will automatically track every time you work out with your Apple Watch on.
Degoo Premium
If you're someone who loves taking pictures, you'll love using Degoo Premium too.
This app is the perfect place to store all your favorite photos in the cloud. You can upload files as big as 1GB, and with this offer, you get lifetime access to Degoo's 10TB backup plan.
Not only that, but you can also use all of Degoo's premium features, including its AI tool, which will help you choose the best photos so you can get rid of the rest.
