Whether you’re an iPhone or Android user, you need these apps in your life to help you get organised, de-stress, get creative and save time…
1. Kindle
It’s great being able to read a paperback book but sometimes the book you’re after isn’t available at your local bookstore, also hard copy books can get really expensive. The kindle app gives you access to all e-books on amazon, for instant download and at a fraction of the price of the physical book. The best thing about kindle is you can try a sample of the book for free before deciding on whether to purchase.
2. Calm.com
If you live a busy and stressful life (which is pretty much everybody these days) and you find it hard to wind down, try the calm app. There is short (I’m talking as little as 3 minutes) guided meditation or beautiful soothing music, like raindrops, the ocean, waterfalls, crackling fire for you to listen to, and unwind.
3. A Beautiful Mess
This app is a photo editor. You upload your image and choose from a huge range of filters. You can also choose text in the most fashionable of fonts and orders. These are downloaded straight to your camera roll and can easily be shared to your social media.
4. The Good Edit
If you care about the environment (which you should) the good edit is the app you need. It provides instant ratings on how eco friendly a fashion brand is. The app tells you if a brand uses organic cotton, is made overseas, is made in sweatshops. It’s great if you want to start making positive changes in your life but don’t have time to spend hours on research.
5. Nike+ Running
Whether on a treadmill, trail or track, the app accurately records your pace, distance traveled and time, complete with audio feedback and a route map. The app also comes with a host of gamified social elements such as sharing runs, achievements and the option to challenge your friends to beat your time or distance run. Neat features include the ability to load a “Power Song” of your choice, as well as setting up Spotify Premium “Pace Stations” of running music tailored to your target running pace.
