Best iPhone Apps: Reading, shopping, and social media

iBooks

Though it hasn’t been updated since 2013, we had to include Apple’s native ebook reading app. The app connects with social media platforms like Facebook so you can share your thoughts on your favorite novel.

Kindle

Amazon rules the e-book reader world, but you can also get its Kindle app just about everywhere else, including iPhone. Kindle features one of the largest literary selections in the world, and you can even subscribe to Kindle Unlimited to read as many as you want for $10 a month.

Nook

What’s the difference between Amazon’s Kindle app and Barnes & Noble’s Nook app, you might ask? Well, there isn’t much of one. Nook, though, does offer over 1 million free titles. So there’s that.

Goodreads

Goodreads is similar to Yummly, but for books, providing recommendations based on books you like and books your friends like. The app lets you connect to book clubs and discussions with readers across the globe.

Audible

Prefer listening to books over reading them? Audible has you covered with more than 180,000 titles that you can download for offline play. Speed up or slow down narration speed to fit your preferred listening experience.

Best iPhone Apps: Shopping

Amazon

Amazon is the number one online retailer for a reason. Browse Amazon’s vast collection of products quickly and easily. Plus, you can enable notifications for daily Amazon Gold Box deals so you never miss out on a discount.

eBay

There’s very little that you can’t buy or sell on eBay. The app is full-featured and much easier to use than the website. Bid on items, track your orders and sell all of your unwanted stuff right here.

Poshmark

With Poshmark, you can ditch the typical vintage boutiques and consignment shops. The app gives you access to more than 5,000 brands and sizes to choose from, with plenty of inventory regardless of your preferences. You can also make extra cash by selling your own clothes by uploading it to your profile. Once it’s sold, Poshmark will provide you with a pre-paid shipping label.

Groupon

The free Groupon app is perfect for all the coupon clippers out there. Save money and paper in one fell swoop, as Groupon presents you with incredible deals that often total up to 70 percent off a meal or outing.

Deliveries

Constantly refreshing the shipment tracking link won’t make your orders show up any faster, but the right app can make it less of a hassle to check. Anyone who’s been using iPhones for a while knows Junecloud’s Deliveries has been around for a very long time, but there’s a good reason — it’s still the best. With a dedicated Notification Center widget, Calendar support for estimated arrival dates, and compatibility with macOS via a desktop app, Deliveries ensures you’ll never miss that package you’ve been waiting for all week

Best iPhone Apps: Social media

Twitter

Twitter helps you keep your finger on the pulse of the world — and find out who’s worth listening to. Follow friends, celebrities or companies’ official feeds to get instantly notified when something big goes down.

Uptime

Ironically, the best way to watch YouTube videos with friends is only available on iOS. Uptime, the new social video-sharing app from Google’s experimental Area 120 division, launched back in March but was invite-only. This month, the app was made available to all users. Simply sign in with a Google account, find your friends, and get to it. You can even comment and react with emojis in real time.

Tweetbot 4

Say you like Twitter as a concept, but you’re not a fan of the app. Tweetbot was made for you. One of iOS’ longest-running third-party Twitter clients, the latest version of Tweetbot delivers a better interface, as well as features you won’t find on the first-party app, like the ability to mute users, hashtags, and keywords, and dive into activity stats and analytics. Tweetbot also gives you free rein to fully tailor Twitter to your usage, with customizable tabs, gestures, and themes. Not to mention, you’ll never see a single ad.

Snapchat

Hands down, Snapchat is the best app to use if you want to send naughty pictures to someone. Every picture or short video you send deletes itself forever after about 10 seconds. Watch out for screenshooters!

Ditty

With Ditty, anything you write can be made into a short, silly song, complete with GIFs based on the lyrics. You can swap out the GIFs for your own media, and share your creation with other users of the app, as well as friends on social networks. While some songs cost money to use, many are unlicensed and free.

Apple Clips

Apple has developed a new way to share videos on your social media feeds with Clips. Clips is a very simple app that functions like Your Story on Facebook or Instagram, but as a standalone app it is much more powerful. You can record a video or use pictures and videos from your library to make a fun video to share with family and friends. It also includes many filters and other tools that function almost like iMovie, and the latest version 2.0 update adds features only for the iPhone X. It is the most feature rich app to make short videos and share on your feeds.
