2015 Recap: Apps We Loved (and you should too)

There are a lot of apps out there but which ones have stood out?

2015 gave birth to a number of smartphones and tablets which made use of apps we now can’t live without (fine, we’re a little bit overreacting). Seriously though, it’s almost the end of year and what better way to end it than to make a rundown ofĀ which apps have stood out? Who knows, at the end of this post, you might be downloading everything on the list!Ā 

Note: The appsĀ below are listed in no particular order.Ā 

Ā 

VSCO Cam

A cult classic, that’s for sure. Almost everyone with a smartphone has this installed for editing OOTDs, still objects, landscape photos and other photography materials. Besides the presets you can download (some are free and some you have to pay for), you can also tweak the brightness, contrast, fade, skin tone, temperature and more which are part of its uncomplicated editing tool.

Available: iOS | Android
Price: Free

Waze

Sure, we endure the traffic situation almost everyday but this little guy sure does give that extra boost of hope that we need.Ā Ā In case you don’t know yet, it letsĀ you know about the traffic conditions and giveĀ you a different route when the traffic’s building up. In addition to leavingĀ Ā you can chat with fellow commuters for tips about a certain area.

Available: iOS | Android
Price: Free
Ā 

Snapchat

It has been around for quite some time but became a hit this year when a lot of celebrities prefer using it to update their fans more often. Plus, it’s close to being a live broadcast. And did we mention the filters which practically everyone loves? You can be a rainbow-puking unicorn or prank a kid using the scary filter (okay, that’s kind of mean).

Available: iOS | AndroidĀ 
Price: Free

ClickTheCity

Trying not to include this but just can’t! The app is definitely a go-to for movie and tv schedules. And now, you can even purchase movie tickets when you want to go to the moviesĀ with just a few taps on your phone.Ā Talk about a seamless way to catch a movie, huh?

Ā 

8mm

If taking photos aren’t your thing but still love holding up your phone to record memories, the app takes old school vintage movies which adds textures like dust and scratches, retro colors, flickering, light leaks and frame shakes with only a single tap of the finger. For an added effect, there is a sound switch to add a projector sound or you can mute the video for a silent movie effect.

Available: iOS
Price: $1.99
Ā 

Mint

From bank accounts to credit cards, Mint is the most widely used finance app. It automatically tracks your spending, categorizes it and since it pulls everything in one place; plus,Ā itĀ lets you know when you’re close toĀ approachingĀ your limit.Ā

Stress, anxiety and depression can hinder you from a happy life.

Snapseed

Sometimes you don’t need a lot of filters to have that perfect photo. Editing the brightness, contrast and sharpness are only what you need to make your photos stand out. Not only will you use this for your mouthwatering food shots, this is also a great editing tool for landscape shots and portrait shots for when you want minimalistic edits.

Clash of Clans

If you don’t have this on your phone, chances are, one of your friends/colleagues/siblings have been busy deploying dragons while hanging out with you. We just can’t take this away from the list because we know COC has been huge in the scene and also, it has been consistently on the number one spot in theĀ top grossing apps sectionĀ on the App Store.

Available: iOS | Android
Price: Free

iFlix

Binge-watching is a serious task. From Hollywood series, Korean dramas to your favorite movies, you can all do these especially with a user interface you can’t not love. For only P129 per month, you’llĀ have access to all of your favorites and hit shows and you can download a maximum of 10 shows or movies per device at anyĀ timeĀ for offline viewing. Plus, you can connect it to a total of five devices. How awesome is that? Sharing is caring, you guys!

Spotify

Who had time to download from the computer and sync it to theirĀ phones this year? No one. Exactly why Spotify is a good music streaming app since you can listen to unlimited number of songs when connected to the internet. However, when subscribed to Spotify Premium, users have an access to unlimited skips and have the ability to save songs for offline listening. Nevertheless, Spotify Free is already good as it is.

Available: iOS | Android
Price: Free

Uber

One of the can’t-miss apps! A transportation service where you don’t need to pull out cash when paying — it goes straight to your card. And just recently, Uber launched a feature where you can pay cash after a trip.Ā This private transportation service is cheaper and a safer way of reaching your destination.Ā Moreover, if something goes wrong, you can easily track down the driver and there will be someone from the Uber team who will get in touch with you immediately.

Available: iOS | Android
Price: Free
