These are the best free apps that can change your life at least a little. They are useful applications for Android and iOS, which we recommend installing in 2019. We have chosen the best apps to download for free that have real usefulness, having tried and used them, all you need to do is simply read and then go to Google Play or App store and download them.

Apple & Google Pay
Online payment platforms for Android and iOS devices, where you can manage credit, debit and prepaid cards thanks to your Google or Apple account. Thus, allowing payments both online and physical, in any store that supports both the payment through the application and contactless POS. These payment options are starting to gain momentum across different industries. But they are especially attractive in the world of mobile betting, to those people who like to test games out with a safe and secure payment method.

The most beautiful part, as on Apple Pay, is that there is no need to unlock your smartphone or start any application. Once you have set up your account, you just must place the phone on the POS at checkout. No paper to crawl or codes to remember.

Flipboard
Flipboard is probably the best app in the world for reading the news. It is an accurate software aggregator of news. Not only does it come from the most popular websites but from a series of curators who choose the best news and order them by subject. It is the closest reading experience to browsing a real magazine. Unmissable.

Noted
Noted turns your smartphone into a powerful tool to record and take notes in a perfect way to keep track of conferences, meetings, interviews, and other occasions. The app records the audio, also allowing users to type notes (with rich text and image support), which are automatically marked with the time with a searchable “time tag,” a sort of bookmark to find them more easily. Recordings and accompanying notes can be synchronized via iCloud, organized in notebooks and searched quickly, with the help of time labels.

ScanBot
What Noted is for audio notes, Scanbot is for documents. Scanbot transforms your smartphone into a powerful portable scanner, which allows you to scan documents and QR codes and then save them into high-quality JPG or PDF files. The scans can be saved locally, shared in the cloud or faxed from the app. Automatic edge detection and a wide range of filters, tools, and settings help you get a very clear scan from your smartphone’s camera.

Civilization AR
The BBC Civilizations AR app draws on the augmented reality tools of iOS and Android to bring ancient relics and cultural treasures of the past to life through augmented reality. You can view each heirloom with realistic 3D rendering, using the phone as an AR camera. Not only can you see unprecedented visualizations, but you can also zoom and rotate objects. Then there are interactive features such as the “X-ray view” and narratives that add to the AR experience, as you learn about the secrets, origins, and history of these global cultural treasures.

WhatTheFront
One of the most useful apps for graphic designers and enthusiasts. WhatTheFont helps the most inexperienced person to identify fonts using optical recognition of the smartphone’s camera as a viewfinder. Just take a picture of the font you want to identify, and the app does the rest, finding the closest matches in the My Fonts database and reports similar characters.

Google Trips

IFTTT
If you find yourself losing a lot of time with repetitive digital activities or if you simply want to automate a range of features on your phone, you need to try IFTTT. The app allows users to create custom “applets” or activities built around the structure. For e.g., If this happens, then do that – from which the app gets its name – IF This Then That. For e.g., You may automatically receive results from your favourite football team each time they’re published, etc. IFTTT uses a wide range of triggers and actions ranging from websites and apps to other devices.

Snapspeed
