Are you the owner of a brand-new iPhone 7 from Afghan Wireless, Afghanistan’s exclusive authorized Apple distributor? If so, you’ll want to load up your new device with these great free apps:
-
Chrome
Many iPhone owners love Apple hardware but still prefer to get their software from other sources. For iOS and Android users alike, Chrome is far and away the most popular browser. It has plenty of features that make surfing the web easy and enjoyable, it offers a highly effective incognito mode, and it’s updated very frequently so you can always be sure of having the latest version.
-
Photoshop Fix
You can now take better photos than ever with your iPhone’s camera, but sometimes they still need a bit of touching up. And thanks to Photoshop Fix, you don’t need a desktop computer to access the popular program’s world-class retouching and restoration features; the free app offers a range of options—including lighten, smooth, heal, and paint—that help your photos shine.
-
Prisma
If you want to go beyond basic photo editing, Prisma is the app for you. A breakout hit in 2016, Prisma is a photo filter app that lets you create truly unique pictures with its incredibly detailed custom filters. Just layer one of Prisma’s filters over an ordinary photo to transform it into a stunning work of art. (Impressively, the app also supports video.)
-
Google Trips
Whether you’re planning a vacation or a business trip, Google Trips saves you the hassle of juggling different apps to keep track of your itinerary, accommodation bookings, and activities by centralizing everything in one place. Plus, its simple, user-friendly design is so easy to use that you won’t end up feeling like you need a vacation from your vacation planning.
-
Evernote
Evernote is the most amazing notebook you’ve ever had; think of it as the perfect way to download and keep track of whatever is bouncing around your brain, anytime and anywhere. Not only can you make notes directly in Evernote, but the app also lets you save online images and articles, upload jottings from physical notebooks, check off items on to-do lists, and even incorporate audio files like dictated notes-to-self. And there’s no need to worry about organizing things: everything in Evernote is searchable, so you’ll always be able to find what you want quickly and easily.
-
1Password
You know that digital security is important, but it’s extremely difficult to keep track of a distinct username and password for every single app and service you use. That’s where 1Password comes in. Synced with the company’s original desktop app, the mobile version helps you create a different secure password for each one of your apps and services, and then stores them all in a protected vault, so all you need to remember is the app’s master password.
-
Mint
This much-loved budgeting app is a great way to keep track of your personal finances, whether you’re saving up for something special, paying back a business loan, or just trying to get a better idea of how much your household expenses add up to each month. Mint not only centralizes all your accounts in one place, but it can also help you get your finances in order by providing insights on your spending, reminding you about upcoming bills, and giving you nifty budget-setting tools to work with.
-
Magisto
Shooting great videos on your iPhone is easy, but editing those videos is not always such a piece of cake. Fortunately, Magisto provides professional-level video editing in just a few seconds. Using artificial intelligence, the app edits your videos, complete with built-in effects and music library, into finished creations that you can easily share with friends and family on social-media platforms or via e-mail.
-
Swiftkey
Now that Apple has added the option to install third-party keyboards on its phones, iPhone owners are turning to one of the best available options: Swiftkey. Going a step beyond predictive text, Swiftkey actually learns how you type and adapts to your personal typing style and preferences over time, so you’ll be able to type faster with fewer errors.
-
IFTTT
Standing for “If This Then That,” IFTTT is a workflow app that helps you make the most of your iPhone by automating some of the actions you do most often. Essentially, IFTTT helps you create mini-apps that let you launch some of your favorite tasks—like posting that photo you just took directly to Facebook, for example—with a single click.
-
Overcast
Podcasts are more popular than ever these days. Make sure you’re staying up to date on your favorite shows with Overcast, one of the best podcast-listening options for iOS. Its user-friendly features boost your listening experience, help you easily find new shows, and more.
