Have you recently acquired an iPhone? Congratulations! To help you get started with your brand new device, we’ve listed some indispensable apps that every iOS beginner should have on their device.

4 must-have apps for new iPhone users

#1 Stocard

Do you always forget to take your loyalty card to that one store because you simply don’t have enough space in your wallet? Stocard has the solution for that. In this handy app you can easily collect all your cards, so that you can never forget them.

#2 DeepL Translate

Forget Google Translate: the results that DeepL Translate presents you are generally much better. The translation service works on the basis of artificial intelligence and supports, in addition to the Dutch language, English, French, German, Spanish and Italian. An iPhone app like this is indispensable if you translate a lot, for example for work, but also if you often travel.

DeepL Translate is free to download in the App Store. An optional subscription is available to unlock additional features.

#3 1Password

To keep all your passwords and other important data safe, a password manager such as 1Password offers a solution. This app also works very well on an iPhone. Logging in to your favorite accounts in apps and websites is incredibly fast and easy, so you hardly notice that you are using the service. A no-brainer for your online security.

1Password is free to download from the App Store, but requires a paid subscription to use.

#4 Spark

When it comes to a good email service, the standard Mail app on your iPhone isn’t quite it… A better choice is Spark, which can be used on Windows and Mac in addition to your smartphone. The app has a smart inbox, so you always keep an overview. There are also handy tools available, such as scheduling and snoozing emails.

Spark is available for free on the App Store.
