What is the one thing that has added so much convenience to our lives that we can’t imagine living without them?
Yes, all of us can think of so many things that fit the description, but the choice will vary from person to person.
But, the one thing that we all can agree has made our lives tremendously convenient is mobile apps.
Imagine your lives without them. What would it be like? How would we talk? Order food? Pay bills? Book tickets? How would we do, literally, everything in our lives?
Well, today, there are apps for everything. Think about a task, and there would be an app for it – well, at least for most of it.
Here are the numbers: There are 1.96 million apps available for download on Apple App Store. The number for Google Play Store is 2.87 million apps. Add them, and you have almost 5 million apps on only two platforms.
With millions of apps to choose from, one can’t possibly know which app can benefit us. There are tons of apps that are not-so-popular, but their benefits are immense.
This blog features eight apps that can make our lives easier. If you are an IOS user, you got to have them on your mobile phone.
Spark Mail
Let’s get this straight: emails are messy. There are all sorts of emails, from banks to random newsletters you unwittingly subscribed to. Amid so many emails, the important ones sometimes get missed.
Then there are multiple accounts – for work and for personal use. Using these accounts separately is a lot of hassle. So, any app that lets people find their most important email and integrates more than one inbox is of great utility.
Spark mail does just that. It doesn’t matter if you have one email account or five. You can integrate them in one place with Spark. You can have an account on AOL, Gmail, Exchange, Yahoo, Microsoft Outlook, iCloud, mail.ru, IMAP, and it can be easily managed on Spark Mail.
Also, it has tools to cut noise and ensure that your important emails are not missed. Spark’s interface also divides emails into categories, just like Gmail.
Other tools in Spark Emails are snooze email, scheduling, email reminders and follow-ups, smart mail search, and even undo sent emails.

Going to college, school or university means one thing for sure: a lot of readings. Students spend countless hours in libraries looking for a book to finish their course readings.

Authy
The most secure method to protect all your social media accounts is the two-factor authentication system. Whenever you log in to any of your social media accounts, you first have to enter your username and password. In the second step, it asks for a code that is sent to your mobile or email.
So, even if someone gets to hold your id and password, they still won’t access your accounts if you have two-factor authentication on them. This code can also be generated and sent via an app like Authy.
The New York Times said that Authy has the best combination of usability, compatibility, reliability, and security among all the apps.
It is available on Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, and Linux. It helps users quickly set up new accounts, and its easy-to-use interface ensures that users easily find the code they are looking for.
