Mint
Mint is a free budgeting app that allows you to connect all your financial accounts in one digital space to get a high-level overview of your financial health. The app also allows users to track spending and savings and set and track budget goals.
Through Mint, users can sync up bank accounts, money management accounts, retirement and investment accounts, credit cards, and other financial accounts. You also can track all of your monthly bills through Mint and receive reminders so you can quickly pay your bills on time. For added customization, you can also add tags and reorganize transactions as necessary to better track your spending. With Mint, usershave the ability to separate a single transaction into multiple categories, including any fees charged. Mint is meant for individual users and there’s no option for joint Mint accounts. However, two people with joint financial statements can each create their own Mint account and sync the same accounts to view the same information.
Strava
Strava is for people who are competitive and enjoy the social aspects of fitness-tracking apps. If you’re not into leaderboards and personal records, you might be better off with an app that doesn’t focus so much on community competitions.
Those who enjoy rich statistics but plan to opt out of the community features might prefer Runtastic for running and Cyclemeter for bicycling. You get plenty of data from those apps. More recently, Strava came under fire when it released heatmaps of outdoor activity so that popular routes were highlighted, which led to the location of a secret US military base being revealed. Military personnel had apparently been using the app to track their workouts, and Strava made the aggregated data public. Once again, if Strava members, including the military personnel, had wanted to prevent their data from being used in this way, they would have had to actively opt out of it, which is not the way it should be. Sharing data should always be on an opt-in basis.
Privacy and security are important within the context of Strava for a few reasons, which I elaborate on below; Strava provides adequate tools for keeping your information private if you choose. It does not, however, do enough to make the security and privacy issues known to new users upfront.
Reverb LP
Reverb LP is, in essence, a marketplace and discovery tool designed primarily for antique physical music media, particularly vinyl. From the convenience of your workplace, couch, or even the toilet, you can browse, purchase, and sell thousands of new, used, and antique records, cassettes, and CDs directly on your phone. Although you probably won’t find one of the top ten most valuable vinyl albums ever in this app without paying a rather high price, you may use it to expand your important vinyl collection or to sell your own recordings. You ought to be on Reverb if you take collecting music seriously. iOS | Android
Pocket Casts
For almost as long as podcasts have been around, Pocket Casts has been one of the most widely used podcast programs. If you enjoy listening to podcasts, you most likely already know this. If you don’t, this is the ideal moment to give it a try because the most recent revamp significantly improves the whole experience. A new, simplified material design interface, playback without a subscription, episode search, up next synchronization, listening history, new themes, episode archiving, and better discovery are all included in the most recent version of the “world’s most powerful podcast platform.” Simply simply, you require this software if you ever listen to podcasts.
