A simple trip to the app store will leave you spoilt for choice, and this is likely to be the case if you have recently acquired one of those much-hyped phones, such as the Galaxy s7 or the latest from Apple. Needless to say, app developers are burning the midnight oil to create as many apps as possible. You can easily save 50% of your communication bills using these apps.
Maybe you need to go through this article written by Couponmachine on, how mobile apps affect communication bills. However, a good deal of the apps may be considered bloat ware – they fill up the storage in your smartphone but play no significant role. The excitement that accompanies the purchase of a top-of-the range mobile device should not necessarily plunge the new owner into an app spree. Nevertheless, your new phone would not be worth the package wrapping its hardware if it doesn’t have the following apps:
LastPass
The moment you hold a new phone in your hands, the first thing to come to your mind is its security features. You think about the security of the phone itself as well as data. You wouldn’t one somebody snooping around your phone. It becomes even more complicated when you have several accounts with different passwords. You wonder if you will be able to remember all of them. LastPass is your best shot. The app saves all your passwords and auto-fills them into the sites you visit frequently. It also features a password generator that creates passwords, which are hard to crack. It does away with using birth dates or social security numbers as passwords!
Google drive
Your phone memory will always be limited. Now that your phone is soon replacing your laptop, you need ample storage for all your information, applications, and data. Your laptop will soon be relegated to a small back-up device. You have no choice but to download Google drive. Upon sign-up, you get access to a large 15 GB storage space free. Google drive stands out from the crowd because it offers you plenty of features such as Google Docs, Google sheets, Google slides and Google photos. You can virtually open any document on Google drive.
Nearbuy
Your phone can become much more than a communication device if you install the Nearbuy app. The app helps find businesses, restaurants, gas stations and many other facilities within your locality, or wherever you go. You can also land coupons and lucrative deals from nearby business – right from your smartphone. However, you need to remember that it requires the internet connection. Therefore, ensure that your phone stays connected to a stable internet so as to enjoy the full features of Nearbuy. This does not take anything away from this great app.
Evernote
Note taking has become part and parcel of our lives. Evernote is indispensable. It comes with a host of features. You can add an audio or video clip to your notes, making them interesting. The app also allows the user to insert an image into the notes. The app will also appeal to you even more because it can create lists. With Evernote on your mobile device, you will never need to move around with traditional writing materials. There is nothing wrong carrying a pen and a piece of paper for your notes, but you may lose the piece of paper or crumple it up absent-mindedly.
Here maps
You might wonder why you need another map app when you already have Google Maps pre-installed on your phone for Android users. Here maps ascended to fame via its offline ability. You can download maps to your phone and use them even when you no longer have an internet connection. While offline, the app still provides a turn-by-turn navigation support. This would be quite useful when touring remote places, which have no internet network support. Keep in mind that the worst can always happen and you run out broadband. You have your back covered by this wonderful app. Besides, it is absolutely free: just head to the app store and download it.

You can make calls and send text messages from PC. You can also update the firmware on your phone via this app. Although the app currently exists as a paid version – you will need $50 per year to sustain it – its free version is just as effective.
