Our smartphones have come a long way from just having an option to call or text, to serving as a small pocket-sized marvel that can do almost anything for us. They have become an inevitable part of our lives and living without them is like living without electricity – unimaginable.
They have changed the way we listen to music, play games, watch videos, communicate with each other and above, they simply make our lives easier. Nowadays, all modern smartphones are packed with useful apps like email, navigation, photography, messaging and the list goes on. Most of those pre-installed apps are great, but they usually lack some useful features which is why each of them has at least one alternative on the app stores.
In order to unlock the full potential of your smartphone, you will have to spend some time searching for those useful and feature-rich apps. We decided to save you time and possibly your nerves by providing you with the list of the most useful apps available on the market.
IFTTT
We could easily say that IFTTT is one of the most useful apps available on the market. With this app you can create commands which will automatically carry out a set of basic tasks, such as saving Instagram images and uploading them to Google Drive, turning on your smart lights, sending messages when near the desired location and other everyday activities. The great thing about the app is that it has support for more than 500 apps so you can easily automate repetitive parts of your daily routines. Also, it doesn’t take too much time to master the app. Last but not least, it can be used in smart home automation.
