The application has a large number of settings. In particular, you can play a melody from your iTunes collection. Also noteworthy is the function that allows you to configure the application so that the melody will stop playing only if the user thoroughly shakes the smartphone.

The corresponding solutions can be classified into paid and free - and in both categories there are high-quality and useful programs. In almost any category of solutions, you can find leaders in certain criteria - functionality, ease of use, combination of such characteristics with price - if we are talking about paid programs. Significant volume popular applications published for iOS Russian developers, has, accordingly, a Russian interface and the necessary localization of functions - as is the case, for example, with Yandex.Navigator. There are also global Russian solutions- such as Telegram.

Of course, iPhones are completely self-sufficient and are capable of fully providing users with everything they need: communications and a host of support services. However, some owners still need special tools that help significantly expand the capabilities of these already multifunctional devices.

So, what programs should you download and install on your new iPhone first of all?

Communication services

It is clear that the first in the list of third-party applications will be various communication services: Skype, Viber or WhatsApp. You can send them to each other completely free of charge. text messages, photographs, pictures, music and other media files. You can also show everyone your location or send a message linked to a place on the map.

The principle of their operation is similar - instant exchange information transfer occurs via the Internet, while the costs of all involved subscribers are minimal. Surely you already use at least one of the marked applications.
This also includes all popular social networks: VKontakte, Mail.ru, Odnoklassniki, Facebook and others. Everyone is very familiar with them; we will not dwell on them in detail.

Navigation Aids

Of course, navigation applications will also be very necessary, because we all move actively. And with the help of your iPhone you can easily find the desired alley or house.

Since our own cartographic resourcesAppleso far very weak, and mostly limited to a list of major cities, it is better to download similar programs, using Google's extensive databases or Yandex, for example. Services from both mentioned developers have proven themselves to be excellent: Yandex.Maps and Google Maps.

The Yandex.Maps service is perfectly adapted to our region; all the nooks and crannies of more than 200 major cities are perfectly described. It’s very convenient that the cards work successfully even offline, so you can be calm about your traffic consumption. Thanks to the application, you can choose the appropriate route, look at reviews of nearby establishments along the way, and get to the place following the assistant’s prompts.
The first, in addition to the mapping service, also has its own Yandex. A navigator that will be simply indispensable for use in five countries: Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Ukraine and Turkey. You are provided with very detailed maps, prompt notification of all traffic jams or emergency incidents on the roads - along the entire route. Moreover, the assistant will help you plot the optimal route with the least amount of time and fuel, and will also successfully guide you along it as a navigator. It is very convenient that voice control is supported - the driver does not need to be distracted to look at the screen or press a button.
Google Maps is a rich international resource that contains maps of more than 220 countries. The application offers a set of functions similar to the previous service, only for the whole world.
All of them can be downloaded for free from the App Store.

Translators

Users who love to travel, or who often work with foreigners, obviously cannot do without a translator application. Some programs allow you to not only translate words entered manually, but also perceive speech, immediately giving an interpretation of the spoken phrase. Translation of information photographed on an iPhone camera is also supported. Among the most functional and popular in this area is the Lingvo Dictionaries application. A clear interface, an extensive vocabulary base and the good reputation of the Lingvo laboratory are the key successful work, and therefore the love of users.
An excellent choice, as an alternative, Google translator. The program allows you to instantly translate both words entered by the user in more than 90 languages, and objects captured using an iPhone camera. You can also handwrite hieroglyphs or Arabic characters to recognize their meaning.
Built-in voice assistant will tell you how to correctly pronounce this or that word. In addition, you can simply bring your smartphone closer to the foreigner so that he can understand what you want from him. Direct translation of speech from (to) 40 different languages is also supported, so it is quite possible to conduct a dialogue using the phone. It is clear that he is far from reaching the literary level, but it is quite enough to understand the essence of what was said. We strongly recommend downloading this program before traveling abroad, since it can be done for free.

Photo processing

Some professional photographers have managed to create impressive images with the main camera of a smartphone, such as Austin Mann's work used to demonstrate the panoramic shooting feature on the iPhone.
It’s clear, in order to make such a picture even more beautiful, you can use various effects, which can provide specialized applications.

The program has very powerful functionality - ProCamera + HDR. It allows you to take sharp, HDR-quality photos on your iPhone, even without using a tripod.
In addition, it offers a wide range of different effects and the possibility of professional image processing. This is more of a tool for an advanced user. It’s logical that you have to pay for such extensive functionality, although quite a bit - $4.99.

If you're into photo editing, you probably can't do without the Afterlight app. Simple and intuitive controls, a lot of filters, frames, the ability to color correct bad pictures - you get all this for 59 rubles.
It is impossible not to mention the magnificent Google service Photos, which besides basic set for image editing gives users access to unlimited storage. IN You can easily place all your photographs there and quickly share them with friends or colleagues. An ideal option for creating and expanding your own portfolio. And all this is absolutely free.
The paid Manual program will allow you to significantly expand the capabilities of the built-in iPhone cameras. This way you can manually adjust the exposure, independently adjust the shutter speed, ISO, white balance and much more.
Now the shooting process will give much more pleasant results, because you will control all the settings the way you want. For such a flight of creativity and imagination, it’s not a pity to pay 3 dollars.

Music

It often happens that you hear a melody you like in passing, and then you spend a lot of time searching in vain for it. To make your work easier, use the services of the Shazam program - it will instantly find the desired song and will be ready to immediately play it. Music lovers will definitely appreciate it, very convenient. We advise you to download it too, especially since it can be done for free.
True music lovers who prefer radio will be pleasantly surprised by the capabilities of the TuneInRadioPro application. With its help, you can listen to your favorite “waves” from all over the world via the Internet (and there are more than one hundred thousand of them on the list). Melodies are transmitted in the purest quality. At the same time, there are no advertisements and any track you like can be immediately downloaded to your library.

"Readers"

If you are a fan of literature, you can use special programs for reading e-books that will output text in a format suitable for the iPhone. Apple offers its own iBooks. Overall, the application is good, works quickly, is compatible with all devices, so it is ideal for every Apple lover.

If you want more, then the TotalReaderPro program is a real combine that will help the iPhone recognize the vast majority of formats. Everything has been done here for the convenience of the user: many settings modes, a speech block, a lot of free books in the public domain, the ability to organize and catalog.
For a real book lover -429 rubles, which are asked to install the program - are mere trifles.

Notes

Journalists, travelers, and ordinary people You often have to keep diaries, take notes, write to-do or shopping lists. In this sense, the Evernote application has the greatest potential. In it, you can create entries in a format convenient for you and add photos, voice recordings or other media files along the text. In the program menu you can sketch any texts or images by simply sliding your finger across the screen.
Not only that, but it lets you sync information to work across all your devices so you can immediately write down your brilliant idea on the device you have at hand. An excellent resource – definitely a must-have!

You can download a simplified version of the application for free, but to expand the capabilities (increasing memory capacity, additional protection, etc.) you will have to pay an additional 2.99 per month.

If you are looking free service–Simplenote will help you not to forget anything important that you have planned.
The menu is very concise and simple, so you can get used to it instantly. Here you can make notes, reminders, and send messages. Also, to hide information from prying eyes, you can set a password to access the program.

Health

Athletes, or people who closely monitor their physical fitness, in the fight for healthy image life will be helped by the corresponding applications on the iPhone. They track the degree of activity during the day, count the kilometers traveled, determine what energy expenditure was involved, etc.

The famous paid application Runtastic has long proven itself well and is loved by many athletes. Whether you are going for a run or a bike ride, skiing or climbing mountains, Runtastic will certainly come in handy in all cases.
This takes into account the speed of movement, the distance traveled (height), heart rate, calories burned, etc. All obtained results are saved, analyzed and compared - you can easily start a competition with yourself and overcome your best records. And for all this they ask for USD4.99, which is not a lot for such functionality.

2016 is rapidly approaching the end, which means it’s time to take stock. For example, the results of the year in the App Store. In this collection, we recall the best applications for iPhone and iPad that have been released over the past 12 months. There weren't many of them, but they were all pure gold.

Prisma, free.

Prisma is a unique application for processing photos and videos in various artistic styles. It is unique for the reason that the processing is not carried out by already boring filters, but by neural networks. Using their algorithms, they re-draw a photo or video in the style of one of the famous artists, for example, Picasso or Van Gogh.

What is most striking about Prisma is not even the originality of the images that emerge after processing, but the fact that it is almost impossible to remain dissatisfied with the result. As the Prisma slogan says, the application can turn any photo into a real masterpiece. For its uniqueness, Prisma was awarded the title of best iPhone application of 2016 by Apple. We couldn't agree more.

ImgPlay, for free .

ImgPlay is an application that allows you to make GIF animation from any type of content captured on an iPhone or iPad. ImgPlay will turn an existing video, a series of photos, and even “live” photos that users didn’t like into animation.

The application rightfully bears the title of the best GIF maker for iPhone and iPad. It is extremely easy to use, while having a huge number of settings that make it possible to personalize the animation as much as possible. After the release of iOS 10, ImgPlay quickly received support for iMessage. Thanks to this, sending “GIFs” to friends in a regular messenger has become much easier.

Living Earth, RUB 299.

Living Earth is the best weather app of the year. It presents stunning 3D images of our planet, providing all the most important weather information. At the same time, the Living Earth interface is not at all overloaded, which allows you to get acquainted with the forecast for right time or a day without any delay.

Living Earth will also please users who don't particularly care about graphic design. It will do this using an informative widget for the “Today” screen and a temperature icon directly on the home screen. Thanks to these features, you can find out the weather forecast without even going into the application itself.

MSQRD, free.

MSQRD is a real hit of 2016. The application allows the user to put various masks on their face in real time, for example, a tiger, a monkey or even an alien. Each mask fits perfectly to a person's face as if by magic, creating a truly transformative experience.

By "putting on" the mask using MSQRD, the user can write short video or take a photo to save or send to friends. The worldwide popularity of MSQRD was also not ignored by Apple. This unique application was included in the list of the top ten in the past year.

MuseCam, free.

For photography fans, a lot of great apps were released in 2016. One of the most notable of them was MuseCam - full replacement standard “Camera” and an advanced photo editor in one bottle. MuseCam allows you to fine-tune your camera while shooting, allowing you to change focus, white balance, ISO and many other parameters.

When the shot is taken, MuseCam reveals itself as a photo editor. Numerous professional tools and truly unique filters allow you to bring your photo to perfection without the need to use other applications.

The application analyzes the user's movements during sleep using the accelerometer built into the iPhone or iPad and determines the current sleep phase. Having all necessary information, “Good morning” wakes a person up exactly during the light sleep phase, when it is easiest to wake up.

In addition to its main goal, “Good Morning” tracks statistics, on the basis of which it forms advice on improving the quality of sleep. For people who want to get serious about getting enough sleep, Good Morning is the perfect companion.

And one more unique, and most importantly - free tool. PhotoScan is a printed photo scanner from Google. The application makes it possible to digitize a printed photograph using the iPhone camera in a matter of seconds and subsequently save it in the device’s memory for further use.

PhotoScan doesn't just photograph an old photo, it creates an improved digital copy of it. A special technology performs framing automatically based on angle recognition. As a result, scanned photographs have a correct rectangular shape with corrected perspective. In simple terms, PhotoScan actually creates digital images from printed images. Real magic!

BOOM: player for VKontakte music, free.

Despite the popularization of music streaming services, a huge number of Russians still prefer to listen to music from their collection on the VKontakte social network. And at the beginning of 2016, they had, probably, the ideal iOS application for this. BOOM provides the easiest and fastest access to both personal VKontakte audio recordings and music from friends and subscribed groups.

Moreover, BOOM, in the best traditions of streaming services, shows personalized recommendations and notifies you about new music releases. The picture is complemented by the widest functionality - the ability to save music for listening without the Internet, a convenient and multifunctional player, an equalizer and many other pleasant functions.

Radar detector info, 169 RUR.

“Radar Info” is a must-install application for all car enthusiasts. As is easy to understand from the name, the application is a radar detector that tracks Various types cameras, tripods and speed limits. And these are not just words, “Radar Detector Info” works, and does it like an expensive physical radar detector.

"Radar Info" does not require an Internet connection and works perfectly together with other applications. The latter is extremely important for such applications, since they usually greatly limit iPhone capabilities.

for free .

Pleased iPhone users and iPad in 2016 and developers from Microsoft. Their new Microsoft Pix Camera app is based on powerful algorithms that operate in a fully automatic manner. The “smart” system itself, right at the moment of releasing the shutter, selects best settings for a specific frame, resulting in almost always excellent pictures.

Hi all. I have already shared what is relevant to me. It is clear that many applications from that list are also used on the iPhone. But I still decided to compile a separate top programs for iPhone. I most often use these programs on my phone and I think that they are still more relevant on it.

Yandex Radio

I'm not such a music lover as to pay for a subscription to Apple Music, but occasionally I want to listen to music on the road that is not from my library. In this regard, I am completely satisfied with Yandex.Radio. You choose a genre or mood and listen. In a city where LTE is available almost everywhere, you don’t need more...

2GIS

The best app for getting around major cities. The program is good for both pedestrians and motorists. Allows you to find the exact location of ATMs, pharmacies, some office buildings, etc. 2 GIS builds routes public transport. Now this function works more or less adequately, so I completely abandoned similar programs.

Post office

An indispensable application for everyone who receives mail. We are used to making fun of Russian Post, but they have come up with a surprisingly high-quality application. By the way, at the post office you can show the barcode of the package from the program, employees scan it, which greatly saves time for you and them in searching for the package.

MP3 Audiobook Player Pro

Recently I've been hooked on audiobooks. I'm using Mp3 Audiobook Player Pro. This is the best app for listening. It remembers where you stopped, allows you to make bookmarks, and has a timer for falling asleep. Nice program with regular updates.

TextGrabber 6 – Text Scanner

An excellent application for scanning texts and translating them. The principle is simple - you photograph text in English (or another language), highlight a fragment in the photo. The program scans the fragment and translates it into Russian (or another language). At our game library, a girl scans and translates cards from board games in English.

Polyglot 16 - English language

Surprisingly official application Dmitry Petrov has not been updated for 3 years! Wherein third party application, based on Dmitry’s courses, has existed in the App Store for a long time and is supported at least in some form by the developer. Wife uses exactly this unofficial app. For her, it’s like a game - making applications in the evening to learn...

Rambler/Cash

For several years now I have been buying movie tickets exclusively through this program. I don’t need to go to the box office or stand in line (by the way, in our cinema the box office is on a separate floor). I buy a ticket online, come to the cinema, show it to the controller, he swipes his finger across the screen and that’s it! The procedure is simplified as much as possible. I really liked the promotion - for a long time you could buy tickets with a 20% discount by paying with Pay Pal.

GfK SmartScan

My wife constantly uses this application - she scans receipts and goods from grocery stores. In addition to the fact that she can subsequently analyze her purchases, she is paid a small bonus every month as a reward (scans of receipts participate in the GfK Group study of household purchases) (for participation + surveys + recruit - in 5 months she withdrew 4,350 rubles to her phone account - a little, but still nice). And a couple of times the scanned receipt came in handy when returning goods when the paper receipt had already been thrown away.

Currently, the admission of new participants to the study is limited - each application is approved individually, so if you want to participate, carefully fill out all the data when registering and indicate our household number: 713494. Link for registration in GfK SmartScan (you can also participate with an Android phone).

Pro Cam 5

A convenient photo program with a bunch of settings. You can manually change ISO, white balance, exposure, etc. Choose the compression level and even the image compression format. There is also a fairly advanced photo editor built in.

In the App Store you can find many of the most various programs- from amazing to very bad. Vesti.Hitek selected the most useful applications on a platform that will allow you to use the capabilities of your new iOS device to the maximum. Even if you are an experienced Yabloko, it is quite possible that you will find something new for yourself in our selection.

Evernote is designed primarily for text. Built-in capabilities text editor quite impressive. A tag system has been implemented, notes are divided into lists, and there is a notepad. Notes can be shared on social networks or sent by mail.

The program has a nice design in the style of iOS 7, made in green tones. However, it should be noted that at first the interface seems somewhat confusing; you have to spend some time to understand how everything works here.

VLC
The default video player in iOS is far from perfect. For example, it cannot play the most popular .avi format. Here VLC player, familiar from your desktop computer, will come to your aid. This is an omnivorous program that can recognize a huge number of video formats.

Note that you can transfer videos to VLC without going through iTunes. You can download videos directly from the application by entering the link to the video file. Downloading from Dropbox and local network is also supported. The application allows you to download files via iTunes without adding them to your library (to do this, you need to connect the device to your computer, find it in the list of installed VLC programs and transfer the necessary files into it).

If you plan to store overly personal videos in VLC, you can set password protection when logging in. Among the shortcomings of the application, one can only note the inexpressive design - the combination of black and bright orange looks somewhat alien in iOS 7. However, the player does its job perfectly, seriously surpassing it in functionality staffing program"Video".

One of the best applications for delayed reading, which allows you to select and organize all interesting content, found on the web. It often happens that when you go, for example, to the Vesti.Hitek website, you see a large review that you want to read, but now you don’t have time. If you're a Pocket user, all you have to do is press one button and the interesting text will be securely saved in your Pocket account, waiting until you have an extra minute to read it.

The Pocket app is available on desktop, iPhone, iPad, Android devices, Windows Phone, BlackBerry, Web OS, S60 - that is, everywhere. To save browser pages in Pocket, you just need to install the appropriate browser extension.

In Pocket you can save not only articles, but also, for example, videos from YouTube; the content can be organized with various tags. It is more convenient to view materials transferred to Pocket than from the web - the application optimizes pages for reading, enlarges the text, and removes advertising.

If you join the Pocket ecosystem, the application gradually becomes almost indispensable, allowing you to always keep all your most important materials at hand. The program can download content in the background. This way, you can read articles, for example, during subway runs, when Mobile Internet does not work. Pocket is integrated with many applications. For example, you can save tweets to the service from the official Twitter client.

Yahoo Weather
Since in latest versions iOS weather information was integrated into the notification panel, many users decided to abandon dedicated weather applications. But the standard iOS client provides only the most basic weather information, so meticulous people will still need separate apps.

One of the most beautiful weather apps on iOS is Yahoo Weather. It not only accurately predicts the meteorological situation, but also pleases the eye with beautiful fonts, beautiful animation, background pictures and so on. Yahoo clearly put a lot of effort into the program, resulting in Apple (apparently by agreement) using the same design in its own weather app on the iPhone. Weather data from the application can be sent via SMS, via e-mail, or save on social networks.

The program provides data on temperature at each hour of the day, wind speed, pressure, moon phase, shows a map of cloudiness, shows how many degrees the current weather “feels”, what level of visibility, humidity, UV index. Thus, the data provided by the application will be more than enough for most users.

Camera+
The stock camera app, especially in iOS 7, is capable of meeting the needs of most users. However, many people lack functionality in it. If you want more advanced options for creating and processing photos, we recommend trying a program with the laconic name Camera+.

The program sells on the App Store for two dollars. Once you try to take pictures in Camera+, you are unlikely to want to go back to the standard “Camera” - it’s like trading a DSLR for a cheap point-and-shoot camera.

The app provides different grids to create better pictures. The photos you take don’t have to be saved to your smartphone’s gallery right away; the app can keep the photos in reserve so you can select and save only a few really successful ones. This is convenient, especially for those users who like to “click” something many times in a row.

The application interface is very simple, intuitive and well thought out. There are flash settings, switching between cameras, zoom. In addition to the standard one, there are various additional shooting options - stabilized (the picture will be taken only when the smartphone is completely motionless), timer shooting, there is a “fast” photography mode, in which pictures are taken in a slightly worse quality, but very quickly.

Separately, we should mention the ability to separate the focus point from the exposure metering point by tapping on the screen in different places. Sometimes this really helps to take a really high-quality photo.

Also, the application could not do without filters and subsequent editing of pictures. Photos can be rotated, cropped, applied various frames and effects - in general, have fun.

Snapseed
If Camera+'s photo editing capabilities aren't enough for you, try downloading Snapseed. This is a free, but convenient and functional photo editor for iOS. Not long ago, Snapseed became free after Google bought it. If you want to quickly but efficiently improve your photo, Snapseed is the best option.

The program looks simpler than Apple's iPhoto photo combiner, but it's still very nice. The main feature of the editor is its advanced control system, which is built on a single principle. Thus, you can perform any actions in the application simply by learning a few gestures.

Available on Snapseed a huge number filters and various fine adjustments, which will allow you to edit pictures quickly and very subtly.

Automatic correction also works great, which will help if you don’t want to bother with self-improvement. There are not only numerous filters, but also various frames - in general, everything your heart desires. Snapseed cannot exchange data directly with other devices, but it does support “sharing” in Google+.

In general, Snapseed is an excellent amateur program that will satisfy almost all photo processing needs that an average user may have.

Chrome
Chrome on iOS is a great browser for you, especially if you use Chrome on your desktop computer. The browser supports full synchronization with your PC, you can even send pages from your computer directly to your phone with the press of a single key if, for example, you want to move away from your PC,

You can note the beautiful and slightly unusual interface, which, nevertheless, is convenient. Chrome promises to soon feature a data compression mode, as well as browser applications and extensions.

I would especially like to note the voice input that works very well with the Russian language. search queries. Chrome does a great job of formatting pages and works well with videos. There is an "Incognito" mode.

Tabs opened in Chrome on a computer with the same Google account will appear in the Other Devices list. It is very comfortable.

The Chrome browser allows you to change the default search engine and can save passwords. The downside is that Chrome is more heavy-handed than standard Safari. If you open many tabs at the same time, the application will begin to slow down noticeably, especially on older ones iPhone models, or maybe even fly out.

Yandex browser
Yandex did own browser completely cross-platform, releasing special versions for Android tablets and iPhone smartphones(previously, only the iPad version could be found in the App Store). The new product supports synchronization of bookmarks and the list of frequently visited sites between different devices.

An important advantage of the new browser is the presence of a “Turbo” mode, which significantly speeds up the loading of pages in conditions of a slow Internet connection; this is not the case in standard Safari. The “smart search bar” distinguishes between website addresses and search engine queries and provides hints. The browser can also answer specific questions immediately - for example, provide photos or maps.

Panel quick access represents large tiles with frequently visited sites. They can be deleted, modified or dragged - this saves time. Subjectively, "Yandex.Browser" looks much more beautiful than the standard Safari. At first, it may seem unusual that the search/address bar is located at the bottom of the screen rather than at the top, but it soon becomes clear to the user that it is much more convenient to reach it with a finger.

All these advantages of the new browser are largely canceled out by the fact that in iOS it is impossible to configure a non-Safari browser as the main browser. So the links from various applications will still open in the preinstalled browser by default. In Chrome for iOS, this problem is partially solved by the fact that in other Google applications you can configure the ability to open links by default in Chrome, this is especially true for Gmail. But the same “Yandex.Mail” still can open links only in Safari; it has not yet been paired with “Yandex.Browser”.

Coast
Perhaps the best third-party browser for iPad. The application was developed by Opera. The Norwegians made an attempt to rethink the entire accumulated experience of “communication” between a person and a tablet. The effort resulted in Project Coast, a "browser of the future" for iPad designed in a minimalist spirit.

An innovative product is devoid of targeted and search strings, "Back" and "Forward" buttons, tabs, bookmarks and other familiar things - almost all the free space on the screen is taken up by web pages. At the bottom, Opera designers decided to leave only two buttons: one of them returns to the start window, and the other shows a list of recently visited sites.

Even a beginner who has never held an iPad in their hands can easily understand Coast's intuitive navigation. To go back or go forward, he just needs to slide his finger across the screen in the desired direction, and to refresh the page, he needs to “pull” it down. The field for searching or entering a URL is located on the "express panel" Speed Dial(it also greets you when you start the program).

The app looks absolutely amazing. Background images that you can change at your own discretion, polished interface animation, a convenient and beautiful “tab-tile” system, all this is simply very pleasant to use.
