Best Apps For Iphone Xs Max
1Password
One of the great new features that was introduced with the XS Max, is the ability to replace the built-in password manager with one of your own, so if you already use an app like last pass you can now use that. However, if you don’t yet have a password manager, we can recommend 1Password. It is a great app and means that you don’t constantly have to remember all of your different passwords. It also has a cloud option which means that not only can you save your passwords locally, but you can also store them in the cloud with dropbox.
Slor
If you are really enjoying the new portrait mode from the camera, but wish it had a few more options then this is the app for you. It allows you to work on any photo you have already taken and adjust the blurring and depth-of-field options. It is really easy to use as you just slide the yellow box around to the focal point of your image.
VSCO
If you don’t think that the standard camera app is up to much and you want a much wider range of options to play around with then this is a great replacement camera app. It lets you directly set the exposure, brightness, and focus settings as well as being able to shoot photos in RAW mode. One of the standout features is the ability to use filters and you can simply pick out your shots and apply a filter to the lot of them in one hit. That is really useful.
Overcast
No, this isn’t an app that tells you about the typical British weather. This app is focused around Podcasts and is one of the best on the market. It lets you use features such as volume boost and smart speed so that you listen to all the podcasts that you want in the best possible way. There is even a smart playlist feature which will let you manage all of your subscribed podcasts into an evening of listening pleasure.
Tab
This is a great app if you are often out dining with friends and end up arguing over the bill. With this app you simply take a photo of the receipt, you can then assign items to individual friends, and split the rest as necessary. This will then give you a total for each friend to play. So, if you want to do things like split the food, but everyone pays for their own drinks, because of that one friend. (You know who you are) then you can do that easily with this app. It will certainly stop all the arguments and let you carry on having a fab night out with fuller bellies.

- AllTrails
AllTrails is a handy guide for adventurers looking for running, hiking, and biking trails. It offers details about the trails — more than 100,000 all over the world! — including difficulty level, elevation, and length, according to Redditor Wookiepuke. App users can also post pictures of trails and leave comments and reviews for other users. And, yes, it tells you if the trails are dog or kid-friendly, too.

- Khan Academy
Khan Academy is a nonprofit organization that provides free online educational tools to help students learn. Being a “student” doesn’t mean you have to be in school, however. In this case, being a student just means you have something you’d like to learn more about. The app, suggested by Redditor Colgate_and_OJ, has information and learning tools on a variety of subjects, from art history to astronomy, at multiple learning levels.

- Mealime
Mealime is a recipe app that, as Redditor theblartist states in their post, lets the user enter information about their tastes and diet goals before recommending recipes that correspond to said information. Thanks to its ability to streamline recipes to a user’s preferences, the app should save plenty of time on deciding what to eat.

- Tunity
How many times have you been trying to watch something on TV but the sound is either muted, or background noise makes it impossible to hear? Tunity allows users to simply scan the TV screen, and the app streams the TV audio straight to your device so you can listen with headphones. Redditor mike-mag adds that it’s ideal in loud, crowded bars where maybe instead of chatting it up with the guy next to you who won’t stop talking, you’re actually trying to watch the game.

- Libby
Libby, recommended by Redditor awkwardlyonfire, essentially functions as an e-library. As long as you have a library card, you can access and borrow your library’s collection of ebooks and audio books for free. The app allows you to link your library card and then browse your local library’s collection. Simply download a book if you want to read it. All of your “loans” are automatically returned on their due dates. No late fees! It’s the library without having to actually get up and go there. Perfect for global-pandemic-like conditions.

- AirDroid
It’s file sharing made easy with AirDroid, which allows users to “share photos, videos, audios, or any files with your friends and across screens.”
Let’s say you want to share photos from your phone to your computer. As long as the devices are on same Wi-Fi network, your AirDroid account on your computer should be able to recognize the account on your phone. From there, your computer will recognize your phone’s photos/videos, and you can pick and choose which files to transfer. No USBs necessary, no wires, and no data cost. You can check out more specifics on the app here. Suggested by Redditor RODjij

- Insight Timer
For meditators everywhere, Insight Timer provides guided meditations at various lengths instructed by “the world’s top meditation and mindfulness experts, neuroscientists, psychologists, and teachers from Stanford, Harvard, the University of Oxford, and more,” according to the app description. The Redditor’s post remains online with almost 400 points, although their account seems to have been deleted. We thank them, nonetheless.

- Clue Period & Cycle Tracker
Clue allows users to track their menstrual cycles and log information about their symptoms to learn more about their menstrual health. Clue also uses that information to make predictions about the user’s period cycle — when it will hit, along with likely symptoms and their severity. Redditor annabear used Clue to plan their Valentine’s weekend vacation so they wouldn’t be on their period while they were away. According to their post, it worked like a charm.

- Shazam
Shazam is pretty popular and has been for some time now, but it’s always worth a mention when we’re talking about useful free apps. Shazam users can open the app while a song is playing on the radio, in a store, or pretty much anywhere, and Shazam will provide the name of the song as well as the artist who sings it. It’s essentially the answer to the age-old question: “The hell is the name of this song playing?” Thanks to Redditor DunkyChameleon for the assist.

- Photomath
Listen, math is really freaking hard, okay? Sometimes you’ll be stuck on a single problem for an hour with no idea what to do. Photomath is a study tool that allows the user to take a picture of that problem. The app will scan it, and the problem then gets put into the app’s algorithm, which provides step-by-step instructions on how to solve it. And, boy, would I love to have known this existed before today. Suggested by Redditor Mattiusdagrub8.
