(Newswire.net — June 1, 2021) — According to Pew Research, 85% of Americans own a smartphone. A fair share of these people clutter their devices with apps offering pleasurable distractions, unlimited time-killing capacities, and the ability to delve deep into their passions. Even so, very few of these apps (including the ones that claim to boost efficiency) have real utility, but a few really make our lives and our workflow easier. These are the chosen five, the holy grail of getting things done and finding happiness on your smartphone.
1. Dropbox
If you want a reliable and flexible file-sharing app, Dropbox is unparalleled. That’s why over 14.6 million users pay for the service and it boasts over 700 million registered users. While there are other ways to share large files, Dropbox has a 256-bit encryption that even the NSA approves. It’s also the best and easiest way to share files and folders to any platform on earth, without any hassles. We’ve all been there, that time someone couldn’t access that video or contract you sent. Never worry about these problems again with Dropbox.
2. Uber
It’s hard to remember a world before Uber. The effect of this ride-sharing and private taxi app has altered the trajectory of what people can do in cities and made the market for taxi services all that more competitive. Before Uber, people in Los Angeles once had to rely on designated drivers. Within minutes you can get anywhere you want to go affordably and even more affordable if you don’t mind sitting next to a stranger. It has even replaced the need to drive for many people in large cities who don’t want the hassle of owning a car.
3. Reddit
While a journalist can scour a dozen newspapers to find the most newsworthy and compelling content on the internet, most of us don’t have that kind of time. Reddit filters news so that you can access the kinds of stories that drive your imagination from the sources that you value. If you’re into standard news articles, some off-the-beaten-path subculture, weird and wild stuff, gossip, or just about anything else, Reddit will direct it to you and you have the power to be your own curator. So whether you want to save time finding what you actually want to read or get lost in a web for hours, Reddit is the place to go.
4. Calm
Before the Covid epidemic life was hectic. Today, as things are getting better, we all need a little help reacclimating to normal life. That means taking a break, a moment for yourself to meditate and smell the roses. No matter what mental health issues or self-care needs a person has, Calm has guided meditations to get you through troubling times. Sleep and relax better with 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, or 25 minute guided meditations that fit your schedule and help you find your muse and a sense of security.
5. NimbleRx
66% of adult Americans use some form of prescription drugs. NimbleRx in conjunction with Uber Eats has just launched itself in most of America’s major cities so your meds can get delivered to your door in as little as an hour. Avoid the hassle of waiting in line at the pharmacy and always get what you need in a pinch. You will no longer have to worry about that bottle of needed prescriptions being empty.
