The year ends and we cannot let that happen without our particular compilation with the best applications of the year. Those applications whose installation on our device is essential to really get the most out of our iPhone and iPad. Productivity applications, email, internet, games, multimedia ... there are many categories and we want to select one of each so that there is variety. Enter and discover the selection of applications that we have prepared, because some of you may not know about it or have never decided to try it and the time has come to do so.
Email: Acompli
[appext 829384901]One of my personal "crusades" is the search for the perfect email client. As a user of several accounts, I need an application with a unified mailbox, which allows me to configure different types of accounts (Gmail, Exchange, iCloud ...), with push notifications and with gestures that allow you to quickly archive, delete or postpone emails. Quick access to the different folders that I have in each account and integration with storage systems such as Dropbox or Box are also important requirements. All this and much more is what Acompli offersAlthough it is not the perfect client, it is the one that is closest at the moment. Universal and free application, can you ask for more?
Productivity: 1Password
[appext 568903335]In a compilation created by me, you cannot miss what in my opinion is the application that has saved me the most headaches: 1Password. Much more than a store of keys and personal data, 1Password is thanks to the compatibility with Touch ID and with the iOS extensions in an indispensable tool to have all my passwords well saved, generate new passwords and log into different accounts from my iPhone without having to remember the password. Simply spectacular, it will surely convince you from the first moment. With applications for Mac and Windows that synchronize without problems, in addition to this universal application for iOS, trying it is easy because it is free, although to unlock all the functions you will have to go through the box. You will not regret.
Schedule: Fantastical 2
[appext 718043190] [appext 830708155]Although at first I was reluctant to pay again for Fantastical 2, pissed off at the developers by updating to iOS 7 and forcing us to pay again for an update that brought little improvements except for compatibility with the new iOS, in the end I could not resist and I I decided to buy it, and I have to admit that I have no regrets. There is currently no app that matches Fantastical 2 in design, ease of adding events or functionality. If we add to this the new interactive widget for iOS 8, the result is by far the best calendar application, especially for iPhone, where it makes the most of the device's screen.
Keyboards: Fleksy
[appext 520337246]The keyboards were all the rage when iOS 8 was released, but little by little they were losing steam. After the novelty introduced by Apple that finally allowed us to install third-party keyboards, the reality is that most of us finally returned to the native iOS keyboard. But it seems that an application has really managed to offer something different, that is really practical: Fleksy. Its productive keyboard that allows you to change suggestions through gestures, compatibility with different languages, customization through themes, and the newly incorporated extensions that allow us add GIFs or have a smaller keyboard One-handed operation on the iPhone 6 Plus really makes it hard to go back to the native keyboard once you test it.
Games: Monument Valley
[appext 728293409]It is not a flashy game at first, nor is it a cheap game, but Monument Valley has been one of the big surprises of the year. With its original theme and aesthetic "Escher" little by little it has been gaining the favor of critics and users to become one of the most awarded games of the year. If you like puzzles and you are tired of them all being practically the same, Monument Valley is sure to surprise you.
Media: Replay
[appext 694164275]Not in vain has it been chosen by Apple as the application of the year in the App Store. Replay offers us a simple and fast way to create fantastic videos with our photos from our iPhone or iPad. Choose up to 200 photos or videos, pick a style, add text and music, and post the video on social media, or simply save it to your camera roll. Those of you who have not tried it yet do not know what you are missing. Free and universal.
Widgets: OmniStat
[appext 898245825]Many applications have a widget as a bonus, but there are applications that are basically a widget. This last group is where Omnistat stands out, an app that adds different widgets with information about your device: WiFi network, IP, data consumed, RAM, used storage, remaining battery ... an inexhaustible source of information for those who like to control the performance of their device to the maximum.
Social Networks: #Homescreen
[appext 935726715]#Homescreen is not an application that is going to revolutionize the internet, or that offers enormous possibilities, but it has added something different to a world in which it seems that everything was already invented: social networks. With this application you can share a screenshot of your iPhone's home screen and share it. So far nothing new, but you will be able to access its website to be able to see the screens of the users who have shared them, hover over each icon and know the name of the application and how many people have it on their home screens. A curious and new way to discover applications and that for those of us who are always looking for new apps it has enormous value. Too bad it's not optimized for iPad.
Purchases: PriceRadar
[appext 790926556]If you are one of those who have Amazon in your browser favorites, you are sure to like this application. PriceRadar retrieves your Amazon wish list and it keeps track of each of the items, notifying you of the price drops in order to achieve your wishes while spending less. You can configure the% in which it alerts you, and through integrated purchases you can expand the list to more than 10 items, a limit that the application brings by default. There is no optimized version for iPad at the moment.
