An iPhone has the ability to make your life much easier if you use it right. That means using the best apps you can. There are more than enough fun games to waste away any class (and I do) as well as countless hours. But, what apps can actually save you time and some hassle in life? I’ve found the best that absolutely anyone can use. These aren’t meant for just moms or students or singles, or any particular group (but if you are interested in apps for moms or women, check out this and this). These are the helpful apps that usually lure people into buying an iPhone, and I’ve chosen the must haves for you.
1.) Shopkick Shopkick makes shopping more fun. You earn points for walking into store, scanning things in the stores or simply earn a few points by opening the app and tapping on the stores. You can use these points for rewards like iTunes giftcards, gas credit cards, several other giftcards and an xbox for the high achievers. I personally have redeemed $30 of iTunes giftcards, which has saved me some cash and made for a good birthday gift.
2.) Siri Siri turns your phone into a personal assistant. All you have to do is say a command and it does it. Things like “reserve a table for 2 at 7 pm at the best sushi place around here”, “what movies are playing around here”, “get the flight status of American flight 743″ or “call me a taxi” and many more. This cool little app takes care of little things much like an assistant and best of all, it’s free!
3.) Textnow I love this one, because it has eliminated my text message plan, saving me about $15 per month on my cellphone bill. It gives you a telephone number free of charge that can receive phone calls as well (at a charge). And, it operates on the internet, which came in handy for me when traveling abroad. I could avoid roaming charges by simply connecting to wi-fi and getting all of my text messages.
