iPhone Apps You Can’t Live Without


The iPhone has been the driving force behind smartphone technology for years. The release of the original iPhone in July 2007 introduced us to a world where you could not only use your phone to make calls and send txt messages but also take photos, film videos and browse the internet all at the push of a button. Soon after, users were introduced to thousands of amazing apps that once downloaded from the Apple store could help you with anything from finding a book store to buying a pizza. And lets not forget all the awesome games that have provided all iPhone users with hours for fun. Now, with over 500,000 approved apps, there is still a handful that we recommend that each iPhone user should consider getting.
