We continue with the Christmas compilation. On this occasion, we look back to see what the iOS App Store has left us, to better understand what we consider to have been the applications of the year. We are not necessarily going to include applications that have been launched this year, but applications that have become a success this year 2016, whatever the reason. Of course, we are open to modifications, so come in, Find out what the best applications of the year have been for us, contribute yours and enjoy the best possible content within the iOS App Store.
Go ahead, we bring you the collection that can't be missing from your iOS Springboard, whether for iPad or iPhone, these are the applications awarded by the team of Actualidad iPhone as the most relevant of the year 2016. I want to emphasize that there will be no positions, the list will simply be made up of the best applications in no order of preference, therefore, we will include applications of all tastes and for all users.
Multimedia content: Infuse
What is Infuse? Well, it is a different and attractive way to reproduce all our multimedia content. Thanks to Infuse we can universally view any type of format on iOS and tvOS. In addition, we do not have to convert absolutely anything and we will take advantage of its server functions. Although it is true that the application is not free in its entirety, it will cost you around € 12, however, it is an essential application if you have a fourth generation Apple TV at home. It also has compatibility with Google Cast, Google's "AirPlay".
You will keep all your series and movies up to date thanks to its integration with TRAKT.TV and the best subtitles thanks to OPEN SUBTITLES. If you are a lover of cinema and series, let's face it, you cannot miss the possibilities that Infuse brings to your multimedia content, with multiplatform features.
Entertainment: Pokémon Go
It gives me trouble to talk to you about Pokémon Go again. It is true that the popularity of the application has fallen a lot in recent days. However, the fury that it caused since its launch and until very recently, making it one of the most successful applications in history, cannot be taken away by absolutely anyone. So, we have had no choice but to crown it as the best entertainment app of the year, even though others like Clash Royale They continue to remain impassive, it is more than evident that the phenomenon of Pokémon Go managed to attract even those like me who are not lovers of playing on the mobile screen.
You have to become a Pokémon trainer, collect them all, and capture gyms along the way. The way that Pokémon Go has revolutionized augmented reality it has not had and will not have precedent
Photography and video: Prisma
It has never been so easy to create artistic content from a simple photograph, in many cases they were even photographs of doubtful quality. However, the almost endless possibilities of Prisma have made it the most popular photo editing application of 2016. Almost none of our readers have spent the year without uploading a photograph edited with Prisma to their social networks.
Prisma transforms your photos into works of art using the style of famous artists: Munch, Picasso… as well as world famous ornaments and designs. A unique combination of neural networks and artificial intelligence will help you turn memorable moments into timeless art.
Social networks: Instagram
The photographic social network owned by Facebook has taken a spectacular quantitative and qualitative step. If it was already a phenomenon, the integration of the Stories accompanied by the Boomerang has destroyed the data rates of all users, and is that Instagram is currently the social network par excellence. With the arrival of live videos, we have been able to know aspects of the daily life of celebrities like never before.
For this and more, Instagram has undoubtedly become the social network of the year. The data does not lie, it is currently the social network with the most growth and daily users, so, in fairness, we had to include Instagram in this top application of the year 2016. It is the perfect social network to spread the "posture" phenomenon.
Finance: Imaginbank
La Caixa surprised us again. It is one of the banks with the most technological immersion on the national scene, and with the most services available, however, it is also one of the worst fame in terms of commissions. Everything solved, Imaginbank arrives, the mobile bank, literally. And is that Imaginbank is your bank on your iOS device, you will not be able to get it out of there, literally.
Everything you can do in the branch is condensed in the Imaginbank application, on the other hand, the customer service system works through WhatsApp, so you can ask little more of the most modern bank of the moment. The immense catalog of possibilities that its application provides, make it the most complete financial management application in the iOS App Store, and we can even withdraw money at ATMs thanks to the application.
Instant messaging: WhatsApp
I never thought I would say this, but WhatsApp enters for the first time in a top of applications prepared in Actualidad iPhone. It is true that it is still light years away from applications like Telegram, however, the integration of GIFs, video calls and the rest of the functions that it has acquired in just one year, deserves a vote of confidence. However, a lot of work lies ahead for this app (Facebook's second property at the top). We are increasingly dependent on this complete instant messaging application.
Personalization: Gboard
A Google keyboard? What we needed to see on iOS. And so much, despite the fact that I have given it many opportunities and have ended up returning to the original iOS, out of habit, we have to be honest and say Gboard is by far the best third-party keyboard available on iOSYou can do almost everything, Google searches, with the integrated GIF search engine, share contacts and even use several languages on the same keyboard. If you haven't tried Gboard yet, maybe it's time you gave this quirky keyboard a try.
Health: Activity (iOS native)
Although it may not seem like it, I have not been able to find a more complete and effective application in the iOS App Store than Activity, one of the few essential applications on iOS, especially if you have an item like the Apple Watch. Accompanied by the clock, Activity becomes an application of your day to day, which will allow you to keep a daily control of your performance and your state of health. So, and without being a precedent, I will include a native iOS application in this top annual application, especially because now they can be "removed" and many have already done so.
The worst app of the year: PlayStation + PlayStation Messenger
Few applications are as poorly optimized as the PlayStation application environment for iOS. Unfortunately, it is an application that PlayStation 4 lovers have to deal with on a daily basis, since thanks to it we buy digital games and communicate with our friends. However, constant errors and disconnections, a serious problem with the PlayStation Store and its almost useless extra messaging application, have been the reasons why we chose the PlayStation environment as the worst applications of the year 2016 for iOS.
If you have apps that you think are missing from this top, the comment box is all yours.
