Smartphone apps are so popular today that it’s hard to imagine how we used to entertain ourselves, exercise, and tidy up our office affairs without them. Every day, hundreds of new mobile apps are released on online platforms around the world. You can’t download everything to your phone, and there’s no need to. But we made a selection of interesting applications, of which many people may not have realized until now, but they do make life easier!
The main purpose of apps is to make our lives easier. To remember things we often forget about, to navigate to this online casino website more conveniently, to group data into convenient databases, to organize current affairs, or to provide quick access to resources. Here are some of them that will do this task well without too much human hassle.
1. Bookmate
The first thing that appeals to Bookmate is the synchronization between devices. You read on your tablet, continue on your smartphone or laptop from the same page where you left off on the previous device. To do this, of course, the device must have access to the Internet. But it is needed only for quick synchronization, you can read books offline, disabling all communication modules to save money.
The second is the payment system. You do not need to buy a separate book, you pay for a subscription for a month or year and read everything in the library, which is more than 500,000 books from 600 publishers in 9 languages.
But that’s not all. Bookmate is divided into two parts. The first is the app that you use to read. The second is the web service at bookmate.com where you can upload any epub or fb2 book to your library and read it through the app with exactly the same syncing between your devices.
If you don’t have your own books and you’re not ready to pay for licensed books yet, then you can choose from a variety of free books of world classics. These, of course, are not hits and novelties, but were ever priceless masterpieces so accessible? Yes, even fans of reading the masterpieces in the original should not forget about the possibility of instant translation of any word by double-tap.
Creators of the service did not forget about the social component. Once you connect one of your social accounts to the service, you can find your friends who also use Bookmate, keep track of what they’re reading and share your books and favorite quotes with them.
One last bonus is that you can give a subscription to your friend. You simply pay for a gift subscription and get a code that, when entered, makes your friend another lucky Bookmate user for a certain amount of time.
2. Quizlet
Learning foreign languages is a task that you can take up simply with your phone in hand. In this app, you can put all the new words, dates, terms you need and memorize them in a game form at any convenient time. A few minutes a day of card study is still better than nothing? Suitable for independent work, as well as for those who study the language with teachers. The application allows you to create your own cards and use the available ones, prepare for tests or exams, listen to the correct pronunciation and simply expand your vocabulary in 18 languages. You can use the free version, but there are paid subscriptions that you can try for 7 days and then decide. Available on Play Market and App Store.
3. Photo Translator
If you didn’t have time to finish some words from the last app, or don’t know any language at all, or if you bought a product of foreign origin and can’t read the composition – no problem, because apps like this help you translate entire pages of text or inscriptions online. You need to take a picture of the text or just point your camera at it, and the program will do the translation for you. In the app, you can listen to how to pronounce a word correctly – very useful if you don’t know how to formulate a sentence so that a foreigner understands you. Available for all gadgets (various operating systems).
4. Couch Potato
Our time is the time of the productivity cult. This app helps you cope with the pressures of the modern world and take care of yourself. After all, the rewards are not for productive time, but for relaxing on the couch. You just have to specify that time in the app. Isn’t it great? The app reminds us of the importance of rest because recuperation is the key to our health. You can download it in the App Store.
5. Inshot
Do you need to fit several videos into one, speed them up, add music and also make captions? It seems to be the easiest video editing program to use, where you can do it, and for free. Of course, you can buy an advanced version, but you probably won’t need that. Here you can edit videos both for yourself and for your friends. Make congratulations, your own video compilation of life moments, interesting situations, and travels. Save it just in case. Available on Play Market and App Store.
6. Coiner or Money Flow
Applications are designed to save and plan your budget because when you see what and how much you spend, it is much easier to control cash flow. The principle is simple: you enter your expenses and sort them by categories: food, transport, health, entertainment, and other items of expenditure. At the end of one or more months of use, you can examine in detail where your salary is “flowing away” and optimize your budget. But it is important not to cut back on things that improve quality of life and shape your mood: another cup of coffee in your favorite cafe is never superfluous.
Both trackers are available in Play Market and App Store.
7. Pregnancy
If you are suddenly planning a pregnancy or are already pregnant, look out for such apps. Every day they will offer relevant information for the pregnant woman about her health and changes in the body, count the days until delivery, tell how the baby has grown and looks this week, remind her about tests and planned visits to the doctor. The program compares the baby’s size to things everyone understands – a bean or an eggplant (as it grows) and explains what body systems are developing at the moment. There are many interpretations for both moms-to-be and those who just want to get pregnant. There are tips for all tastes – even about tummy tattoos and preconceptions.
Can be downloaded on both Android and iOS.
8. Tide or Oak
These programs are similar invocation: to balance the state of mind, improve sleep, help meditate. It is not always possible to abstract or go on vacation to relax and have a relaxation, so you can get away and use an app. Trying meditations on falling asleep, breathing, and harmonizing your state is worth it at least once. What if you like it? You just have to choose what you like in the app, turn it on, and enjoy. Oak can be found in the App Store, and Tide can be found in both the App Store and the Play Market.
