There are several apps on my mobile phone that I use. But on the below list there are 10 apps that I cannot thing that I could use a smartphone without them.
Firefox
- When it comes to browser, I do not use Safari or Chrome. I prefer something that I quite more private (Chrome is made by Google and it probably tracks whatever you are browsing) and can also sync with my laptop (Safari is only for apple devices).
Brave
- I use Brave for one specific reason. I deleted YouTube from my device as it has become annoying to a maximum level with the ads it has added at the beginning or during their videos. I wanted something to watch YouTube videos without ads (and with a better experience compared to Firefox). The solution is Brave Browser. Not only lets you watch YouTube videos without ads, but it can also be used to watch with the phone screen turned off. Also, in terms of privacy it is the top private browser. Highly recommended.
Google Keep
- When it comes to note keeping, lists etc there are many choices. I prefer the Google Keep as it can sync through many devices. The interface is very simple and does the job well.
Pocket
Revolut
- In my honest opinion, one of the best banking apps. It converts currency in seconds and at very good rates without taking any fees. It has vaults with good interest and can send money to your phone contacts if they have Revolut as well. Money is sent in seconds and there are no fees as well. It has really helped me when I am abroad.
Waze
- I was using Google Maps for navigation, but a friend introduced me to Waze. Basically, Waze is now part of Google as it was bought a couple of years ago, but it is kept the same as it was before. Once I started using it, I never went back to Maps. There are some good reasons for this. First of all, it displays various information that will save you from getting fined. It shows police on the road, cameras, speed traps, red light cameras, roadblocks, stopped cars in front of you, pot holes and so many other things. Secondly, it shows your speed while displaying the speed limit, so you know how much you are speeding. Finally, the navigation system is way better compared to what I used so far. I have noticed that Maps is telling you to turn way before the corner that you must turn with a result to take turns that you shouldn’t. This is not a thing with Waze. Notifications are always on time.
Spotify
- I believe this is one of the most popular apps. I cannot live without music and I also spend a good amount of time listening to podcasts.
Dictionary
- As I am not a native English speaker, I wanted to expand my vocabulary. This dictionary (which is called Dictionary) is one of the best I have used. Give it a try.
Coingecko
- I use this app to track crypto prices. Simple and easy to use interface.
Alpha Bravo alphabet
- Numerus times I was asked to say my name or spell my post code on the phone. Well, I didn’t know how to say the letters in Zulu Tango etc. So, I thought that it would be a good idea to create an app that does this. And voila! I coded this app! It hasn’t been that much time since I published it and it helped me a handful of times! I hope it helps you as well!
