Spotify
When you start using Spotify you’ll be presented with two choices: Spotify Free and Spotify Premium. With either plan, you get access to a large library of music that you can play on a PC, smartphone along with apps for several types of devices. If you go with the Premium plan you can get rid of the ads plus you get additional features that include unlimited skips, better quality audio, ability to download tracks to listen to offline along with other features. The individual plan is available at the suggested price of US$9.99 a month and $12.99 for the Duo Plan.
Spotify has recently been going after the podcast market landing exclusive podcasts from high-status figures like Michelle Obama and Joe Rogan. This app has a unique sleep timer feature that allows you to go to sleep listening to your favorite podcast. One thing that makes it better than YouTube music is that Spotify recommends albums you might want to like based on your listening history.
This app accomplishes moving music to other devices through their Spotify connect service which allows you to stream your Spotify music and podcasts to a variety of devices including Google Nest Speakers, Bose, Apple Airplay devices, laptops that have the Spotify app downloaded to them, X-box, PlayStation game consoles and more.
Cuvva
While considering which apps do download on your new device, we recommend not just think about social networks and entertainment programs, but about the safety also. Cuvva is a car insurance app that is designed to be mobile, so getting covered on a car through your device only takes a couple of minutes.
“This unique service with an outstanding customer-centric approach was created to satisfy all insurance needs. It is the first step towards people overcoming the fear of obtaining the digital experience by taking off the three-step insurance online,” Thomas Sirsla from American Insurance said.
With a higher quality level in general, you’ll find options for weekly and monthly car insurance, as well as the hourly-rate protection. Using this app, you don’t need to worry because it provides not only round the clock customer support but also enables users to use a new kind of insurance which is fast, easy, and friendly.

Google Maps
Google Maps boasts of more than one billion active users, making it one of the most popular navigation systems in the world. The developers are constantly updating Maps adding and tweaking great features. There are a lot of things you can do in Maps besides basic navigation. Frequently updated, the app includes great tips that allow you to search for needs, not addresses, and share the real-time location with multiple people to reveal how to get to each other quickly.
One of the first things you should do on Google Maps is to save your home and work addresses to navigate there quickly instead of putting in the whole address again and again. Time travel with a street view, save your parking location, booking a cab of your choice directly from google maps without a need to open the app individually. On your journey, you probably want to take the best route so avoiding that extra traffic on a toll road can be quite handy.
Thanks to the simple interface, users can select the area and download it to have offline access as well as open the feature of one-handed zoom.
Dropbox
Dropbox is among the most well-known names in cloud storage, and for good reason. It was founded all the way back in 2007, making it a veteran of the industry. Dropbox, like many, uses a “freemium” model. This means you’ll have 2 GB of storage space for free which is enough to try a service but to do a much serious work you’ll need to upgrade.
When it comes to that, there are two plans on offer. Dropbox Plus allows you to store up to 2TB storage while the Professional one gives you an outstanding 3TB storage. This app is remarkably fast thanks to its powerful servers as well as a sophisticated and highly optimized system by which the files are actually updated. What is more, it can be used on desktop, mobile, and web and is secured with a two-factor authentication that will make you sleep easily.
Moreover, this app allows Google Drive integration which is rare because Drive is considered to be their direct competitor. Dropbox is also integrated with Microsoft Office meaning you can create new documents or open the existing ones. By the way, Collaboration is one area where Dropbox has improved greatly in recent years, so you can integrate with other platforms like Trello, Zoom. This allows you to post files to those services right from your Dropbox.
If you are looking for a secure cloud storage and collaboration platform for your business or personal needs, a Dropbox would be a great variant!
Facebook Messenger
Facebook messenger is one of the most popular chat apps which is not just a simple messaging platform. It provides audio calling and video chatting with AR masks, stickers. You can schedule a time for your conferention and even make it open so anyone of your friends or family members can hop into the room.
Facebook’s products have always been about connecting people. However, it’s not only a great worldwide service to share emotions and start communication, but also a possibility to send money securely right in the app by adding a debit card or PayPal account.
Plus, you can send and receive secret messages with the ability to set up a time for how long those messages will last before they disappear.
