Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we have a great post about our most useful apps that i could find.
The rise of iCloud, OneDrive, et al might have taken some of the shine off Dropbox, which was the first app to properly handle syncing and cloud backup, but it’s still the best option for sharing files and moving them around between platforms, and of course for backing up your photos. You’ll probably want to fork out for 1TB of storage though, for $9.99/month.

2) Google Photos
We’ve got nothing against Apple Photos per se, but Google Photos works perfectly across Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS, and won’t cost you anything at all if you don’t mind a bit of resizing. Those considerations, plus all of Google’s smart image recognition and a few neat editing tools, mean it’s our default choice for managing photos and videos.
3) IFTTT
What is there left to say about IFTTT (If This Then That)? Change your phone wallpaper on a schedule, turn your Wi-Fi off as soon as you reach the office, post to multiple social networks at once, get alerts about specific app price drops, launch Google Maps when you need to leave for a meeting, back up your iOS contacts to Google, and so on, and so on...
4) Citymapper
Why do you need a public transit app when I’ve got Apple Maps and Google Maps, you might think. Well, so did we, until we actually installed and used Citymapper: It makes hopping from bus to train to tram across a metropolis so straightforward that it feels like magic, and it’s overflowing with good ideas, like an alert when your stop is coming up.
5) SwiftKey
You’re going to be doing a lot of typing on your mobile device, and SwiftKey takes that text (and emoji) input to the next level with features such as AI-powered autocorrect, the option of swipe-to-type, and a pile of customizations that help you make your keyboard your own. There’s also integrated support for typing in more than 150 different languages.
I hope you try these out and as always have a chilled day from the Viking.
