We have all heard that apps intended for your phone or other mobile devices can be very useful, educational and fun, but the abundant selection of these apps makes it nearly impossible to choose and learn of all the good ones on your own. Currently, there are over 2 million apps available on the Apple App Store, and there are 2.9 million on Google’s Play Store, and this number constantly increases, but only a small fraction of these are actually good, free to use, or both.
In this article, we’d like to draw your attention to 14 of the best useful, educational, and creative apps available for both Android and Apple users. All of these are tried and tested, highly rated by users, and free to download, so make sure to try those that caught your eye.
