45 iPhone Apps Everyone Should Own
Yes, you can still use Mail, and it works reasonably well for most people’s basic email needs.

Outlook comes with a bonus calendar built in, as well as a special “Focused Inbox” feature that attempts to help you prioritise your out of control inbox and snoozing tools for bumping important emails back to the top of your queue. With more than 700,000 reviews and an average rating of 4.7 stars, to say Microsoft’s email app is pretty well liked by its users is a bit of an understatement.Google’s Gmail app is a perfect fit if you’re already bought into Google’s ecosystem, though it also makes it easy to connect up email accounts from other providers and manage your many messages at once. If you need a little help deciding which emails to tackle first, check out Google’s other email app, Inbox by Gmail (free).If you coque de telephone iphone xs don’t like either, there are plenty of other email apps coque iphone 8 silicone flamant rose worth investigating: Spark (free, though its data collection practices have made some users unhappy); Airmail (free, the iOS version of our Mac email app pick); Astro (free, comes with a free virtual helper called “Astrobot” to help you deal with your coque huawei p10 inbox); Edison (free, an email client with lots of positive reviews and a useful “unsub” feature for ditching newsletters you don’t want).Calendar: Fantastical 2 ($4.49)It might feel a little bit silly to pay $4.49 for a new calendar app when coque samsung edge s7 the one baked into your iPhone or iPad works fine for everyday use. I was surprised samsung galaxy s7 coque bts but not that surprised to find Fantastical 2 recommended over, and over, and over, by other users and other websites. It’s a coque samsung note 8 iron man must have calendar app, even given its meager cost. The app’s interface looks great and makes it easy to see what’s on your schedule (or what’s coming up), featuring useful little dots to give you an at a glance indication of how busy you might samsung galaxy note 9 coque cuir be on any particular day. You can even pull iCloud reminders directly into your calendar, to make sure you don’t miss anything important coming up. Even if you don’t have a lot of events to enter on your calendar, Fantastical 2 is the best for getting them scheduled and viewing them (and everything else you have to do) in a number of different ways. I’ve frequently seen this app referred to as an app coque samsung s5 rock Apple should have made instead of Calendar. It’s that good.Other contenders I considered included Google Calendar, which is both easy to use and free, as well as Calendars 5 ($10.99), coque mat samsung s7 featuring a lovely looking interface that does an admirable job of packing in as many appointments as possible without forcing you to scroll), coque iphone 8 plus roi lion silicone Timepage (free, which gives you a calendar whose dates get darker coque samsung s6 pour ado as your day gets coque tracteur samsung s6 busier), and Rooster (free, an app that focuses a bit more on giving you a comprehensive look at your daily schedule and tasks than a traditional calendar app).Notes / To Do: Bear (free ish)There are way too many notes and task management apps on the App Store. Way. Too. Many. We, and many others, are big fans of Bear (freemium; $21.49)/annual) pricey coque autres galaxy samsung coque iphone 8 nour as it is because it’s a gorgeous app for both note taking coque huawei mate and tracking to dos. It synchronizes effortlessly with its Mac version, as any good task management app should, and both coque red canary iphone 8 its automatic and manual tagging ensures you won’t miss any critical on your various lists (one hopes).Bear’s search function is speedy and comprehensive; the actual process of creating notes is nearly effortless (and supports inline images); and you can even write up your tasks in Markdown if you want to get fancy. Tagging is as easy as adding a hashtag before any word in a note, and linking between notes to provide additional context for an item is an incredibly useful feature. You can export your notes in a variety of different formats, if you want, and you can even doodle your notes directly on your iPhone or iPad’s screen.If you don’t want to pay to prevent forgetfulness from overtaking your life, you have plenty of other good options for tracking your tasks and writing little notes to yourself. Microsoft’s OneNote (free) is a great cross platform app for dealing with everything from sketches to writing, whereas its To Do app (free) is better for basic reminders. Google Keep or Tasks (free) are both strong choices, with the former good for notes of all formats and the latter ideal for simple text. Simplenote (free) also supports Markdown based notes and is completely cross platform.Other paid apps we considered included Notability ($14.99), a highly reviewed app that’s great for those who prefer to handwrite notes and annotate documents. Todoist ($45/annual) is an excellent cross platform task management app that we love on the Mac, and its premium features (like automatic reminders and an activity overview) are useful, but super expensive. Due ($7.99) has a great concept: It nags you to death until you finish something you’re putting off on your to do list.Automation: Workflow (free, but disappearing soon) or IFTTT (free)Before Apple goes and replaces its Workflow (free) app with Shortcuts, download it and check it out. It’s completely free to use and provides a great introduction toward automation: the art of having one thing do multiple things instead of having to do those multiple things manually. For example. Or you can create a little button that automatically searches for the nearest gas station and pulls up directions a useful little trick when you’re driving. You’re coque samsung j7 only limited by your imagination. Well, that, and the confines of the app.IFTTT (free) allows you to create similar kinds of rules for a ton of supported devices and services. I’ve covered some fun things you can do iphone 8 coque silicone originale with the app and service previously and, coque personnalisees iphone like Workflow, you can really get yourself lost with all the neat things you can do. Odds are good you have a favourite (or two, or many) coque mickey samsung s6 that you use, and odds are just as high that said service has an official iOS app you can download. Google One, Microsoft OneDrive, and Amazon Drive are our three favourites in no particular order for their ease of use and storage/price ratio.Dropbox makes it on our list because a lot of people are familiar with it and its app is convenient for scanning documents and annotating others’ work. That said, its 2GB of free storage isn’t that much compared to the others and its paid for plans don’t give you as much for their prices, either.If you’re tired of the widgets Apple (or your apps) give you, make your own with Launcher, a freemium app that’s a great way to bend your swipe right screen to your will (technically called the “Today View”).Pick people you want to call at the tap of a finger, customise the widgets you see by the time of day or your location, or set up a section that shows you all of your favourite apps and lets you launch whatever you want faster than it takes to navigate your many Home screen pages.Reading articles later: Pocket (free ish)One of the easiest ways to keep all of those articles you swear you’ll make time for later is to use an app like Pocket (free ish) to organise your procrastinating. Sure, you could just bookmark websites or share links into Notes, but Pocket brings with it a comprehensive tagging system and a recommendation engine that shows you the most interesting content everyone else has been checking out. I also love that Pocket now shows you how long it might take to read articles you’ve saved, in case your subway stop is coming up and you don’t want to start something you can’t finish…
