So you can find that lunch meeting…or that pick-your-own pumpkin patch.
So you can show all your friends how effing cute your kid is in a pick-your-own pumpkin patch.
Because your mom doesn’t have Instagram and she also needs to see the pick-your-own pumpkin patch pictures and then comment, “LOL, HENRY IS SO CUTE” with 15 emojis.
Amazon
For ordering bulk paper towels in 20 seconds flat.
Spotify
For on-demand Beyoncé.
Genius Scan
For scanning any document and quickly converting it to a JPEG or PDF. (Seriously, this app changed our life.)
So you can text unlimited baguette photos to your girlfriend from Paris without cutting into your data usage.
Dark Sky
Or any weather app really, but we like this one for its graphic displays…and, oh yeah, accuracy.
Venmo
Undoubtedly the easiest way to transfer small sums of money among friends--free of charge.
Flashlight
