Unless you already know which app, or at least what kind of an app you need, browsing the app store for any of the major platforms can easily be frustrating, simply due to the overwhelming number of potentially interesting or useful apps, that you just don`t have the time to check out. That`s why we decided to make a list of apps that stand out in their particular categories, and that just about anyone could benefit from having.
Mailbox
A great, free app for iOS, Mailbox gives you a ton of control over how your emails are arranged. Apart from allowing you to sort them any way you like, which allows you to always have your most important emails at hand, you can also easily set up reminders for when you want to reply to a particular email, which is a more than welcome feature, that is not exactly all too common in apps of this type.
Dolphine Browser HD
While the default Android`s browser is by no means substandard, and does have some nice features of its own, Dolphin is simply more flexible, and probably closer to what most people need in a mobile browser. For one, you can create tabs, which has become a must have feature for most users, but it also allows you to use a number of handy plugins, sync with Google bookmarks and set up custom gestures. The app is completely free, so you should at least try it out.
An amazing app for people who are constantly missing out on good reads because they can`t remember where they`ve seen the article that seemed interesting. You often stumble upon great articles while you are browsing the web, but can`t always afford the time to read them immediately. You can easily save those articles for later with Pocket, and then read them at a more convenient time. The app is well integrated with different social networks, and works on all major platforms, including iOS, Android and Windows, which is to say that you can easily save the articles on your phone and then read them comfortably on the larger screen of your PC. Pocket is completely free.
Waze
One of the most transparent ways to illustrate just how useful this navigation app is would be to mention that Google decided to buy it for an amazing $1.3 billion, despite having their incredibly successful Google Maps. Basically, the app tries to provide you with the shortest route from one point to another, but it doesn't rely only on traffic reports and other conventional means for calculating the route. Instead, Waze rewards its users for any relevant information they provide regarding the current state of the roads, traffic, any possible accidents or other causes of congestion. Once you make enough reports, you can level up, which makes the app much more fun to use, and encourages users to provide as much information as they can.
Mint
This is a light weight finance management app that won`t let you make transactions or anything of the kind, but will give you a nice overview of your expenditures and profits for the current month. Naturally, since this information is what most people would consider highly sensitive, it comes with password protection that will keep prying eyes away from your data. The app is completely free, as well as very intuitive and easy to use.
