16 iPhone apps you shouldn't live without

iPhone apps

I'm pretty conservative when it comes to the apps I keep on my phone. If I don't use an app at least once a week, it gets axed.

I started with that minimalist approach because I used to have an iPhone 5s with only 16 GB of storage space. But even after upgrading to a 64 GB iPhone 6s, I kept the same mindset because I want my phone to be as useful and clutter-free as possible.

My phone is the most important tool for doing my job, staying connected to my family, and entertaining me when I'm bored. So over the last few years, I've settled upon a handful of must-have apps that help me do all of those things.

Here are the 16 apps I couldn't get through life without:

16. Hopper

Anytime I'm considering traveling somewhere, I start on Hopper. Hopper is an app that predicts the right time to book a flight to get the best price. All you have to do is put in your destination and travel dates, and Hopper watches the flights for you. Thanks to the app, I've gotten a lot of great deals on flights with little-to-no effort on my part.

15. The Infatuation

I started using The Infatuation religiously when I moved to New York City last year, since it basically acts like the cool friend who always knows the best places to eat and drink. The Infatuation has guides and reviews for restaurants and bars, and breaks everything down by neighborhood, price, point, or occasion. The Infatuation is active in eight cities around the US, plus London.

14. JetBlue

I live in New York, but my entire family lives in Buffalo, which means JetBlue has become my best friend. I fly the airline a lot and luckily, it has a great app. I can do things like check in for my flight, change seats, or check my flight status all within the app. And while you can do that on most airlines' apps, JetBlue's has the best user experience.
