The mobile app market is large and vast. Let's try to select the ten best free apps from the App Store and Google Play and analyze their pros and cons. All mobile applications are time-tested and occupy leading positions in the list of user likes.
RealtimeBoard
If you're trying to work on your productivity or other projects, sooner or later you may need a whiteboard where you can quickly jot down your thoughts and sketch other things. The RealtimeBoard tool is recommended. In addition to commonplace pencils and shapes, it is possible to attach images, documents and files. There is tight integration with cloud storage and, of course, corporate editing. These features are completely free for a small team of three. And if you purchase a subscription, you will have access to templates, video chat, unlimited boards, backups and many other goodies for a large number of people. I didn’t like the fact that all work is done exclusively in the cloud, without local file saving, and the Internet speed for comfortable work should be decent. That is, without access to the network, you will not be able to read anything. And editing on a smartphone itself takes some getting used to. But the service is cross-platform. IOS, Android, Windows, Mac and browser surfing and editing are supported.
Adguard
Mobile ad blockers are no longer a gimmick in either the App Store or Google Play. On Mac, AdGuard has long been preferred. The application has a bunch of filters, a whitelist, rules support, and is configurable right from the browser. Of course, when removing ads, traffic is also saved, which is important with a limited Internet connection. There is also a Pro version of the application. It has a full firewall, parental controls, and more flexible customization tools. In practice, the free version is enough.
Enlight photos
Developers from Enlight are slowly taking over the virtual world with their quality applications. Two programs at once got into our selection, also because it was you who advised them to me. The first is Quickshot. It should come to replace the standard camera. Here you need to pay attention to three cool modes. HDR +, thanks to proprietary scanning and space processing mechanisms, will give a much higher quality photo in terms of color and saturation. The Quickshot mode will allow you not to think about precise alignment of the gadget, but to focus on instantly obtaining a valuable and often dynamic frame. The app automatically aligns the exposure to a particular orientation. The cool Strobe mode allows you to take multiple dynamic photos and combine them into one for a spectacular image that clearly demonstrates movement. There is a whole bunch of customizable filters, support for layers and basic tools like cropping or manual exposure correction. And it's all free.
Enlight videoleap
The second cool program from Enlight is Videoleap, a free mobile video editor. Thanks to this application, without the computer Adobe Premier or Final Cut, you can edit a simple video with transitions, filters, music and other goodies in a few clicks, for some advanced options of which you will have to pay. But the basic features of the program, which will be enough with your head, are absolutely free + the application itself has Russian localization. The editing process is very similar to that in Final Cut - there is a main timeline to which clips are magnetized, and transitions are placed in splices. On top of the video sequence, we hook text and various effects, and on the bottom we place music. The controls are very convenient and, most importantly, intuitive. I really liked Videoleap. Beginners shouldn't have any questions, and if you don't understand something, then there is a visual animated manual.
CamScanner
We have already repeatedly touched upon the topic of document scanners, but even despite the abundance of this kind of software, each copy has its own drawbacks. CamScanner is focused on working with a huge amount of documents and from convenient cataloging. Intelligent border recognition, filters and mass photography are present. And the program could easily become a leader in the segment if it were not for one thing - the lion's share of functions such as support for cloud storage, removal of watermarks, ads, editing of recognized text and other options are distributed under a fairly expensive subscription. So CamScanner is ideal for businesses and to a lesser extent for individuals who are closely involved in this kind of work.
Retrospecs
It is one of the highest quality retro image capture software. A whole bunch of free and paid custom filters Additional options allow you to create a truly stylish or nostalgic photo. Although there is no Russian localization, it will not be difficult to figure it out, even for people who are far from foreign. The application is highly specialized. There is nothing more to say, well, except that retro is always in fashion.
Udemy Online Courses
The main thing to know in life is that studies should never end, regardless of your age and status. Udemy will help you find sensible courses. Next - the numbers, they will say more - 42,000 courses from experienced teachers sorted into 1,200 topics, 14 million students and three skill levels that you will be guided by when choosing short or full courses. All topics are covered, from IT to music, photography and yoga. The problem is different - the platform is international and the main language, of course, is English. The courses are not cheap - for some, the price tag quietly steps over several hundred dollars, but the best part is that discounts are regularly held and these are not some miserable 20, 30 or even 50%, but 90 or 95% - and this is quite normal. … The application will inform you about this. In general - learn English and you will be happy.
Metapho
iPhone can't read metadata about photos and videos, which contain information about the device, format, resolution, camera, lens, and even software version. Of course, geolocation data is also displayed, if this option was enabled on the smartphone. The application has a convenient button for quick access from the share menu, so that you can quickly view the information you need directly from the photo application. By purchasing the full version, you will be able to edit or delete metadata.
Speaky
To know English well, no matter how corny it sounds, you need to speak it. But finding a worthy interlocutor is still a challenge. There are many services that offer tutors and native speakers, but it's expensive - it's cheaper to use programs like Speaky. The application is focused on finding people around the world to communicate. At the moment, the program has users from 180 countries speaking more than 110 languages. So your goal is to find a foreigner who wants to learn Russian or just wants to speak and at the same time correct you. The main thing is to start a conversation and you will get much more if you spend time exclusively with the dictionary.
