Aside from the different social media apps, the other must-have for me is the dropbox. I usually synced in my data on dropbox from time to time. I also love that “Find my iPhone” app since I often misplace my phone.

Most of these applications I`ve already given a try and have worked wonderfully. Still, there is one that I am curious about and want to find out more: 1Password. I am so bad at remembering passwords and this would help me deeply but isn`t this a risk of having your accounts hacked?
Hi Simona,
1Password is the exact app you need. You should definitely give it a try! And don’t worry there is no risk involved, just don’t forget the Master password.
God forbid that ever happened! Thanks for the info, I`m gonna give it a try.
Wow! This is a great collection of apps but most of them are already in use since last 2 years. Thanks for the update anyways; will surely try the untried.
Hi Fatima,
Yes, most of these apps have been around for a while, but that doesn’t mean they’re no longer cool and useful to have in 2013, especially for those who recently bought an iPhone and are new to these apps.
Anyway, thanks for your comment.
