Many iOS friends are asking Xingzai, why are they all recommended Android apps, don't we fruit fans deserve to have a good app?
Don't worry, I'll arrange it for you today! After my careful selection, I have prepared 8 exclusive boutique apps for the iOS platform, ensuring that each one can be the icing on the cake for your mobile phone life.
1. EMMO small ledger
At the end of each month, I look at the bank statement and I don't know where the money is spent. I was determined to get into the habit of bookkeeping, but the bookkeeping apps on the market were either too complicated or too ugly, and it wasn't until I came across EMMO that I really fell in love with bookkeeping.
I give full marks to EMMO's appearance, there are more than 50 themes to change with you, and each one is carefully designed. And its bookkeeping experience is also very simple and friendly, supporting multiple ledgers, picture notes, and automatic generation of statistical reports. Every bookkeeping is like playing a fun game. After using it for a month, I found that I had saved 2,000 yuan without realizing it, which I couldn't have imagined before. I now turn on EMMO every day to see what I'm spending today, and I feel more financially conscious. It would be even better if functions such as multi-person bookkeeping and automatic bill recognition could be added in the future.
二、PPics
As a self-media blogger, I often need to post some long pictures. In the past, they were all screenshots by hand, and then spliced one by one, which was time-consuming, laborious and prone to errors. Since using PPics, I've found that making long images can be so easy!
It has a one-click scrolling screenshot function, which can automatically detect the scrolling of the page, and automatically stitch it into a smooth long picture as long as you want. And there are also many advanced editing functions, such as phone cases, picture annotation, mosaics, etc., and the handicap party can also produce blockbusters in minutes.
Two days ago, I went to an exhibition and wanted to send a nine-square grid, PPics also has a nine-square grid cutting function, which is really a blessing for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder like me! The fly in the ointment is that it currently only supports iOS, and I hope to release an Android version as soon as possible, so that more people can enjoy its convenience.
3. Seeking
I don't know if you have this kind of distress, there are thousands of photos piled up in the mobile phone album, and it is more difficult to find a picture than to find a needle in a haystack. This app perfectly solves this pain point for me.
It uses AI technology that allows you to search for photos with text, and it works completely offline, so you don't have to worry about privacy leaks.
The first time I used it, I typed "graduation photo" into the search box, and I didn't expect that the photo of the bachelor's gown from three years ago appeared instantly, and it was very accurately recognized. I tried to search for "dogs in the park" and "evening sky" again, and I could find them in one second, which is a photo management artifact!
The only regret is that currently only the new system above iOS 16 is supported, and my iPad and Mac are not working yet. But according to the developers, more devices and systems will be supported in the future, so wait and see.
Fourth, focus on travelers
As a late-stage procrastinator, I'm always looking for ways to improve my focus. I've tried a lot of focus apps, but Focus Traveler is the one that amazed me the most. It combines focus time and mountaineering trips, and each time you focus for a while, you move along the mountain trail and the scenery changes accordingly.
What I like most about the white noise feature, especially the café ambient sound, makes me feel like I'm in a quiet corner and immersed myself in my studies. There is another detail that I like very much, after turning on the "immersive mode", you can only start the timer by turning the phone upside down, and once you pick up the phone, the timing will be paused, to prevent distraction from swiping the phone.
I also invited a few friends to "hike" together, and with the company of my companions, I was more motivated to focus. Hopefully, more social interaction features can be added in the future, such as friend leaderboards, real-time voice encouragement, etc., which will be more interesting.
五、Fatty Cat!
When it comes to healing apps, we have to mention Fatty Cat!. It is a cat development focus app, through focus time to feed a virtual pet cat. At first, I was skeptical, but I didn't expect to use it for a few days and I couldn't stop.
Every time I focused on studying, the kitten would quietly read a book and play with a ball of yarn, and if I left halfway, it would meow pitifully. Over time, I subconsciously regarded it as a real pet, and I was reluctant to let it go hungry anymore. In this way, my concentration time has become longer day by day, and my learning efficiency has skyrocketed.
However, the app is currently only available for iOS, so Android users may have to wait. And some features need to be unlocked for a fee, as a shovel officer, I didn't hesitate to buy a lifetime VIP, hoping that the developer can use the money to design more cute clothes and toys for kittens.
6. Real-time translation of Felo
Last year, I traveled abroad and downloaded more than a dozen translation software for evaluation. In the end, I chose Felo Real-Time Translator because it has several unique advantages: it's free, offline, and voice-based.
One of the biggest challenges I encountered while traveling was the language barrier, and Felo solved this pain point perfectly.
I just say a word of Chinese into my phone, and it translates into English instantly, and the pronunciation is very standard. In turn, foreigners speak English to me, and it can also be translated into Chinese, so communication is barrier-free.
With Felo, I was able to communicate freely and experience the local culture in a foreign country. I've also made a few foreign friends with it, and they've all complimented Felo on how fast and accurate his translations are. However, I hope to support photo translation in the future, and it will be more convenient to encounter menus and street signs.
7. Bee bookkeeping
Recently, I found a bookkeeping app that I can't put down, and I can't help but share my experience with you. This app is completely free, simple and refreshing, and doesn't have any redundant features. Best of all, you don't need to sign up to log in, so you can use it without an internet connection.
It's also very easy to use, as you can open the app and tap the plus button to start accounting right away. Its features are simple, but comprehensive: you can use categories to manage your bookkeeping needs, such as Ledger Templates, Auto Bookkeeping, Weekly Receipts and Expenditures, Account Management, Income & Expenditure Trends, Charts, Categories and Sub-Account Statistics, and more.
The app also makes it easy to import and export data, whether it's all, a month, or a custom date range. And it also offers a variety of personalized settings, such as security settings, accounting page settings, and display settings. A particularly intimate little feature is to press and hold the save button, you can quickly and continuously bookkeeping, and long press the bookkeeping button to open the quick bookkeeping template, which is really convenient!
8. Genie Scanner
As an office worker who often needs to scan documents, I have high requirements for mobile scanning apps. Don't look at my current work, but I'm a real scumbag, I left a stack of reference books and notes when I was a student, and now I want to organize electronic files, the project is huge! It wasn't until I met the Genie Scanner that I felt like I had been given a new lease of life.
First of all, I was very impressed by the fact that it is completely free and does not have any ads or in-app purchases. And its OCR text recognition is very accurate, I photographed more than a dozen pages of the book, and every word was clearly recognized. There is also an intimate function, which can directly read the recognized text, and I listen to it while sorting out the information, which is more than twice as efficient. But at the moment it only supports plain text, and it would be nice if it could recognize handwriting and tables. I hope that these functions will be added in the future, so that my notes from my school days can be easily digitized.
