There are more than a million iPhone apps out there, so it can be hard to find the ones truly worth using.
But we can tell you this: most of the best apps are completely free.
Whether you just bought a new iPhone or you're simply looking for something new, here are some essential free apps you should download today.
Evernote is a digital notebook that helps you remember everything.
Evernote allows you to create your own digital collection of notes, photos, web pages, audio clips, and more. And, once you add something to your notebook, Evernote indexes it so that you can search for it through the app or on your desktop. It's a great productivity tool — our own Nicholas Carlson even used it to write a 93,000-word book about Yahoo.
If you're a music, podcast, or audio book junkie, SoundCloud is a must.
SoundCloud isn't just another music service — it allows you to discover new songs, podcasts, and any other type of audio. The Explore tab shows you which podcasts and tracks are currently trending. If you want one single app for listening to podcasts, books, and music, this is it.
Pandora gives you free personalized radio stations.
Pandora allows you to build personalized radio stations based on your favorite artists or music genres. You can stream music on your phone for free, unlike Spotify which requires a $9.99 monthly subscription. You can sign up for the ad-free version, Pandora One, for $4.99 per month. And, if you hear a song you like, you can buy it directly from within the app.
