7 of the best iPhone apps for 2013

Smartphones have changed the way in which the world communicates. If you have an iPhone, here are some of the many apps which you should download.

Facebook

With more than a billion unique accounts, Facebook is one of the most popular websites in the world. Not only can you check your account whenever you want but you can also upload a photograph as soon as it has been taken. The Facebook app is very popular with businesses because they can post updates about a current project.

Twitter

Just like Facebook, Twitter is a very popular social media website. You can check the tweets which have been sent by your favourite celebrity as well as compose as many as you want when you are commuting. Free to download, you can create your 140-word character tweet at any time of the day. If you want to tweet a photo as soon as you have taken it on your iPhone, this can also be done too.

RunKeeper

If you want to improve your physical fitness in 2013, you can find out how many calories you have burnt as well as how far you’ve travelled by downloading the RunKeeper app. If you want to share a recent run, it can be posted onto Facebook.

Dropbox

If you want to share large files which are on your desktop computer so that they can be viewed on your iPhone, this can be done on Dropbox. For example, if you want to look at business documents when you are travelling, you can when they are shared on Dropbox. You don’t have to be connected to the internet in order to view the documents which are shared on Dropbox. This is because they can be viewed offline. Even when you’re not in a WiFi hotspot, you can look at as many files as you want courtesy of this very beneficial iPhone app.

Skype

If you want to keep in touch with family and friends who live a considerable distance away, you can by using the Skype app. As video chats can be done free of charge with those who have a Skype account, you can make as many calls as you want and it won’t cost a penny. Skype is also very popular with businesses because meetings can be held with clients as well as employees who are working offsite.

Kindle

If you want to read a book whilst you are on holiday but don’t have enough free space in your suitcase, you can by downloading the Kindle app because books of any size can be read on it. It doesn’t matter if you want to read Crime and Punishment or War and Peace because these large books can be looked at on your iPhone whilst you’re sunbathing.

Tube Map

The London Underground is very complex. If you don’t have an Underground map with you, the Tube Map app can help. With live departure information, you can find out if your tube is late or if there are engineering works on the Central or Northern Line. As a route calculator is also on the Tube Map app, you can reach your destination very quickly.
