Best Apps For Iphone 8 Plus

Social Apps

Social apps are one of the first apps that you download on any new iPhone. And you already know which ones they are. You’ll need Facebook to stay in touch with your friends and family. You’ll want to use Instagram because right now it’s the only social network what’s actually positive. You’ll want to see what’s the thing everyone is talking about on Twitter. And you’ll probably want to follow your friends on Snapchat.

Download: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat

Local apps

You’re going to use your iPhone to get around. Apps like Uber and Lyft will help you get a ride. Yelp will help you figure out where to eat.

Messenger apps
Sharing location in Facebook Messenger
Depending on which country you’re in and which circles you travel in, you’ll at least need half a dozen messaging app. iMessage might be enough for your friends and family in the US but if you’re in Asia or Europe, you’ll need WhatsApp to communicate. For China, it’s going to be WeChat. If you’re a part of online groups, it’s going to be Telegram.

Download: Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Telegram, WeChat, Skype, Slack

Entertainment apps
netflix
The iPhone 8 Plus’s 5.5 inch is a great screen for consuming video. And you’ll find apps for watching a quick video to a tv series. YouTube is great for watching short videos. Apple like Netflix, Hulu, and Prime Video are great for watching old tv shows and new original series alike.

Download: YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Hulu

Snapseed
Best iPhone 8 Apps 1

Snapseed is a free yet feature-rich photo editor for the iPhone. The best thing about the app is that it’s quite easy to manipulate images. Using the gesture-based interface, you simply swipe vertically to switch between different modes, and you swipe horizontally to change the intensity. The app is fast so there’s no lag in updating the live preview. And it comes with interesting filters (Drama and Noir filters being my favorites).

Download: Snapseed

Gboard
gboard featured
Gboard is the best alternative keyboard for the iPhone. Not only do you get gesture typing, emojis suggestions and GIF search, you get an honest to god Google search bar right in the keyboard. You’ll be able to search for things and paste in results directly to the chat conversations.

Download: Gboard

Google Photos

Google Photos is a free alternative to iCloud Photo Library. Google Photos will upload unlimited photos for you, for free (although they’ll be compressed). Plus, you’ll be able to use Google’s smarts when it comes to searching photos and having shared photo libraries with your family members.

Download: Google Photos

Dropbox
dropbox backup
Dropbox is the most reliable third-party service for storing your files and documents. The Dropbox app on iPhone gives you easy access to all your files. You can open files from Dropbox in different apps and save edited copies back to Dropbox. You can save files offline as well. With iOS 11, Dropbox has full integration for the Files app. So you can interact with all your Dropbox documents directly from the new Files app.

Download: Dropbox

Spotify

If you don’t like Apple Music’s UI, Spotify is the best alternative. You’ll get a better UI, the similar song collection and awesome features like Discovery Weekly playlists.

Download: Spotify

Narwhal

If you like browsing Reddit, try the Narwhal app. It has an intuitive UI for browsing subreddits and viewing comments. There are lots of options for customizing the UI. If you’re a lurker you’ll really enjoy the app. But the app does fall apart when it comes to posting things to reddit or adding comments. For that, the official Reddit app is better.

Download: Narwhal

Google Maps
Google Maps iOS
In most parts of the world, Apple Maps is still isn’t up to the mark. Especially in developing countries, Google Maps still has far more accurate data for maps and navigation. Depending on your city, you’ll also get far more accurate live traffic data.

Download: Google Maps

Pocket
Best iPhone 8 Apps 3
You can use Safari’s Reading List to save articles for offline viewing. But that’s not going to sync across your Android or Windows device. An app like Pocket will do just that.

Download: Pocket

Kindle

Right now, Amazon Kindle has won the ebook market. If you want to buy an ebook at the best rate and you want to read it on every device that you own, including your ebook reader, Kindle is the best place to go. The Kindle app on iPhone will sync progress between all your devices.

Quick Capture: Fast Notes
Quick Capture: Fast Notes wants to get ideas out of your head and into plain text. It achieves this in one of three ways: by you typing using a keyboard, pulling in text using your camera, or recording what you say. Notes can be edited and then shared with people or to another app.

RECOMMENDED VIDEOS FOR YOU…

You might point out that other apps – including Apple’s Notes – have similar built-in functionality. And that’s true. But Quick Capture is all about focus.

Through not having a notes repository, it can’t become a dumping ground that gradually builds over time – you create a note and immediately do something with it. (The author says he wanted a “better way to capture and share book quotes.”) And this app is fast, with its big buttons being far more finger friendly than fiddly pop-ups or options buried in menus.

The best free iPhone video editors and animation apps
These are our favorite free iPhone apps for quickly editing videos, GIFs and Live Photos, and for creating stop-motion animation.

DoubleTake

DoubleTake
DoubleTake transforms a single iPhone into a multi-cam studio by letting you capture footage from two of your device’s cameras simultaneously. With a supported iPhone (XS/XR or newer), you can shoot two different focal lengths of the same subject, or use front and rear cameras to capture an event and your reaction to it.

By default, the app uses a picture-in-picture set-up called Discreet. This saves two separate videos, so you can later edit each one independently. But you can instead opt to ‘burn’ the PiP shot into the main video, or use a 50/50 split-screen view that’s saved as a single file.

There are limitations, most notably the app outputting to 1080p, presumably because two 4K streams at once would melt your iPhone. But for fun and serious work alike, DoubleTake is well worth a download.

Plays: animation design kit

Plays: animation design kit
Plays claims it can “elevate your self-expression” and “make your content beautiful”. In reality, it’s a free iPhone app that lets you type in a tiny missive (140 characters or fewer, like old-school Twitter), and then hurl the letters about the place.

This isn’t freeform animation – you don’t need to know anything about keyframes and paths. Instead, you select a font, an animation style, a background pattern (which also animates), and an image to sit underneath everything. By default, you get an Instagram-friendly square composition, but a button lets you cycle through a range of alternatives.

Quite a few of the animation styles result in questionable legibility. But work with some of the subtler options – and the rather nice backgrounds – and you can end up with a visually arresting video to share online.

Splice

Splice
Splice sits in a space between traditional movie-making software and quick-fix video editors.

As with products geared towards quickly fashioning something for social networking, Splice is keen to get you started. Select some videos or stills from your iPhone, drag to arrange the thumbnails, select an aspect ratio, and you essentially have an edit.

However, the app gives you plenty of options for taking things further. You can add titles, effects, text overlays, and audio. Individual clips can be trimmed, cropped, and have filters added to them. Naturally, in-progress projects are saved so you can return to them later.

Throughout, layout and workflow resemble the kind of thing you’ll be familiar with if you’ve ventured into desktop editing – only streamlined for mobile, and without a price-tag attached.

Enlight Pixaloop

Enlight Pixaloop enables you to animate your photos. This is achieved through you manually drawing ‘path’ arrows to define the direction of animation, and setting anchors to keep other areas of your image rooted to the spot. Tap the play button and you get something akin to a cinemagraph – only based on a single still image, rather than dozens of shots or a video.

Whatever you create can be exported to Photos as a video (sadly, there’s no animated GIF option), but there’s plenty more you can add first, including camera wobble, overlay effects and automated moving skies. Some of those features work better than others, but the entire package is a great way to bring your photos to life. Note that there’s subscription IAP lurking, although you don’t need to pay to get a lot out of this app.

Moodelizer

Moodelizer
Moodelizer is a one-trick pony – but it’s quite a trick. It enables you to add custom soundtracks to videos – and all you need is a single finger.

You select a genre, and ‘rehearse’ playback by dragging your finger around the square viewfinder. Move up to increase the music’s intensity increases and move right to adjust variation. You can perform rehearsals using the viewfinder or with an existing video loaded from your Camera Roll.

Just messing about with the audio alone is fun, but it all properly comes together when making a video. Now, when you’re shooting yet another clip of your cat being mildly amusing, Moodelizer can add much-needed excitement by way of rousing club music or head-banging guitar riffs.

Vue

Vue

Vue is a video editor whose initial incarnation was an odd mix of intriguing and ridiculous. In short, it was designed to give you six seconds of fame by snapping an ultra-short video comprising three shots.

Fortunately, Vue is relaxed a bit now – and all the better for it. The app still prefers brevity, but will allow movies of up to three minutes in length and can load existing videos from your iPhone, too. Once your miniature masterpiece is done, it’s possible to add filters and stickers, overlay subtitles, and mess around with zooming and adjustment sliders.

The app still feels a touch rigid compared to the likes of Clips, but Vue’s sense of focus and style – along with the sharing network that underpins everything – makes it worth checking out.

Clips

Clips
Clips is a video-editing app geared towards making content for sharing on social media. To that end, it eschews convention (widescreen, standard titles, typical editing tracks) and attempts to infuse plenty of fun into a streamlined, straightforward editing process.

You can record directly in the app or import existing videos. In either case, you can overlay stickers and live captions that appear as the subject speaks, and apply filters for a different look. Posters serve as a replacement for titles, helping with pacing and context in a way that’s much more interesting, animated and editable.

For iPhone X users, there’s an extra treat: animated 3D selfie scenes. These can transport you into a number of stylized landscapes, including neon cityscapes and ships from Star Wars. The effect is mesmerizing to the point where the app’s worth picking up for selfie scenes alone.

Motion Stills

Motion Stills aims to help you do more with the Live Photos you shoot on your iPhone. Apple’s own Photos app, of course, provides options for adjusting how these images animate – but this Google offering does far more.

On giving the app permission to view your photos, it will display a scrollable feed of pictures that animate as you browse. This alone makes Motion Stills worth a download, not least because the app applies stabilization technology to your Live Photos, eradicating wobble.

But with a few quick swipes you can quickly select a number of Live Photos, which can then be transformed into a tiny movie. Alternatively, you can turn Live Photos into collages, or add text and emoji to your favorites. In short, Motion Stills feels like the Live Photos editor Apple forgot to make itself.

Quik

Quik
If you like the idea of editing home movies but are a modern-day being with no time or attention span, try Quik. The app automates the entire process, enabling you to create beautiful videos with a few taps and show off to your friends without needing talent – surely the epitome of today’s #hashtag generation.

All you need do is select some videos and photos, and choose a style. Quik then edits them into a great-looking video you can share with friends and family. But if your inner filmmaker hankers for a little more control, you can adjust the style, music, format and pace, along with trimming clips, reordering items, and adding titles to get the effect you desire.

Cementing its friendly nature, Quik offers a little pairs minigame for you to mess about with while the app renders your masterpiece. And there’s even a weekly ‘For You’ video Quik compiles without you lifting a finger.
