To the fact that Apple Almost everyone was ready to enlarge the screen in the iPhone 5, thanks to a wave of rumors that had been floating around the Internet all summer. Is it true? as time has shown, those who should have been the first to know about it were unprepared. The size of the new screen came as a complete surprise to many developers, which turned into a huge drawback for owners of the latest iPhone 5. We have prepared for our readers a selection of applications that already take full advantage of the capabilities of the 4-inch screen.

Flipboard

Flipboard for iPhone 5 is your personal journal, made even more convenient on the new screen. Now on each page there are 6 tiles that can be hidden under them, such as social networks or interesting resources. New screen capabilities make the already excellent Flipboard even more complete. By the way, the application looks great on iPad tablet. It feels like you are actually holding the gloss in your hands.

Tweetbot

Tweetbot has been one of the best Twitter clients for iPhone since the app's release. With a larger screen, the user can now see more tweets in his feed, which means working has become more comfortable.

Pinterest

Pinterest is an incredibly beautiful app. True, the small screen did not allow it to reveal all its advantages, and user interface looked a little dull. Pinterest has benefited from the new screen, making most of its features even more amazing. Enjoy photos of your favorite and interesting things on Pinterest, optimized for the new screen.

Weather 2x

Every application that provides information to the user benefits from a larger screen, and Weather app 2x is no exception. Weather 2x is one of the most beautiful applications to display the weather on the iPhone screen. Only the weather and time are displayed against a pleasant background. But as soon as you click on the screen, new information appears in front of the user. Swipe to the right - weather conditions for 5 days ahead, swipe to the left - display the hourly weather for today.

Pocket

Pocket is one of the most popular smartphone applications and Apple tablets. The Read Later style program has received support around the world because it is a shining example great job smart developers. Of course, the application optimized for the new screen looks even more beautiful, while displaying more information.

Agenda Calendar

Those who can't look at Apple's native calendar (and there are quite a few of them) should take a closer look at the Agenda Calendar application. Thanks to big screen can be seen more entries, and when typing, the virtual keyboard does not cover the entire space. The app itself looks fantastic, throwing aside the skin inserts to completely fill the iPhone 5's screen with only useful elements.

iBooks

It’s good that at least Apple itself did not delay with its software updates and prepared everything for the launch of the iPhone 5. iBooks is one of the best applications on the iPhone 5 for reading books and PDF files, while having a sufficient number useful settings. In addition, it is the example of iBooks that shows how reactive the iPhone 5 itself has become. And all thanks to the new A6 chip: books download and launch at incredible speed.

Byword

Although the iPhone screen has always been excellent, the set large texts wasn't his strong point. With the screen increasing by 0.5 inches, nothing has essentially changed, but for those who do print on the iPhone, I would like to offer an excellent editor, which the developers have already optimized for the new screen sizes. An extra 0.5 inches opens up a few more lines of text on the screen, which will never be superfluous.

iPhoto

Whatever you say, the iPhone 5 has a fantastic display that's a pleasure to view photos on. iPhoto takes full advantage of the new display, and the new space makes it easier to edit and view content. iPhoto has an incredible amount of editorial capabilities, but it's not the best app on the market for it. True, this is one of the few applications that has already received support for new screen sizes.

iMovie

Another application from Apple is iMovie. The new 16:9 aspect ratio opens up a true HD world for iPhone 5 users. But watching videos on iPhone 5 isn't just a fun experience: editing them will be just as fun. Now there is more space, which means work will go even faster.

Of course, iPhones are completely self-sufficient and are capable of fully providing users with everything they need: communications and a host of support services. However, some owners still need special tools that help significantly expand the capabilities of these already multifunctional devices.

So, what programs should you download and install on your new iPhone first of all?

Communication services

It is clear that on the list third party applications The first will be a variety of communication services: Skype, Viber or WhatsApp. In them you can send text messages, photos, pictures, music and other media files to each other completely free of charge. You can also show everyone your location or send a message linked to a place on the map.

The principle of their operation is similar - instant exchange information transfer occurs via the Internet, while the costs of all involved subscribers are minimal. Surely you already use at least one of the marked applications.
This also includes all popular social networks: VKontakte, Mail.ru, Odnoklassniki, Facebook and others. Everyone is very familiar with them; we will not dwell on them in detail.

Navigation Aids

Of course, navigation applications will also be very necessary, because we all move actively. And so with using iPhone you can easily find the desired lane or house.

Since our own cartographic resourcesAppleso far very weak, and mostly limited to a list of major cities, it is better to download similar programs, using Google's extensive databases or Yandex, for example. Services from both mentioned developers have proven themselves to be excellent: Yandex.Maps and Google Maps.

The Yandex.Maps service is perfectly adapted to our region; all the nooks and crannies of more than 200 major cities are perfectly described. It’s very convenient that the cards work successfully even offline, so you can be calm about your traffic consumption. Thanks to the application, you can choose the appropriate route, look at reviews of nearby establishments along the way, and get to the place following the assistant’s prompts.
The first, in addition to the mapping service, also has its own Yandex. A navigator that will be simply indispensable for use in five countries: Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Ukraine and Turkey. You are provided with very detailed maps, prompt notification of all traffic jams or emergency incidents on the roads - along the entire route. Moreover, the assistant will help you plot the optimal route with the least amount of time and fuel, and will also successfully guide you along it as a navigator. It is very convenient that voice control is supported - the driver does not need to be distracted to look at the screen or press a button.
Google Maps is a rich international resource that contains maps of more than 220 countries. The application offers a set of functions similar to the previous service, only for the whole world.
All of them can be downloaded for free from the App Store.

Translators

Users who love to travel, or who often work with foreigners, obviously cannot do without a translator application. Some programs allow you to not only translate words entered manually, but also perceive speech, immediately giving an interpretation of the spoken phrase. Translation of information photographed on an iPhone camera is also supported. Among the most functional and popular in this area is the Lingvo Dictionaries application. A clear interface, an extensive vocabulary base and the good reputation of the Lingvo laboratory are the key successful work, and therefore the love of users.
An excellent choice, as an alternative, Google translator. The program allows you to instantly translate both words entered by the user in more than 90 languages, and objects captured using an iPhone camera. You can also handwrite hieroglyphs or Arabic characters to recognize their meaning.
Built-in voice assistant will tell you how to correctly pronounce this or that word. In addition, you can simply bring your smartphone closer to the foreigner so that he can understand what you want from him. Direct speech translation from (to) 40 is also supported different languages, so it’s quite possible to conduct a dialogue using the phone. It is clear that he is far from reaching the literary level, but it is quite enough to understand the essence of what was said. We strongly recommend downloading this program before traveling abroad, since it can be done for free.

Photo processing

Some professional photographers have managed to create impressive images with the main camera of a smartphone, such as Austin Mann's work used to demonstrate the panoramic shooting feature on the iPhone.
It’s clear, in order to make such a picture even more beautiful, you can use various effects, which can provide specialized applications.

The program has very powerful functionality - ProCamera + HDR. It allows you to perform on iPhone clear photos HDR quality, even without using a tripod.
In addition, it offers a wide range of different effects and the possibility of professional image processing. This is more of a tool for an advanced user. It’s logical that you have to pay for such extensive functionality, although quite a bit - $4.99.

If you're into photo editing, you probably can't do without the Afterlight app. Simple and intuitive controls, a lot of filters, frames, the ability to color correct bad pictures - you get all this for 59 rubles.
Not to mention the excellent service Google Photos, which besides basic set image editing software gives users access to unlimited storage. IN You can easily place all your photographs there and quickly share them with friends or colleagues. An ideal option for creating and expanding your own portfolio. And all this is absolutely free.
The paid Manual program will allow you to significantly expand the capabilities of the built-in iPhone cameras. This way you can manually adjust the exposure, independently adjust the shutter speed, ISO, white balance and much more.
Now the shooting process will give much more pleasant results, because you will control all the settings the way you want. For such a flight of creativity and imagination, it’s not a pity to pay 3 dollars.

Music

It often happens that you hear a melody you like in passing, and then you spend a lot of time searching in vain for it. To make your work easier, use the services of the Shazam program - it will instantly find the desired song and will be ready to immediately play it. Music lovers will definitely appreciate it, very convenient. We advise you to download it too, especially since it can be done for free.
True music lovers who prefer radio will be pleasantly surprised by the capabilities of the TuneInRadioPro application. With its help, you can listen to your favorite “waves” from all over the world via the Internet (and there are more than one hundred thousand of them on the list). Melodies are transmitted in the purest quality. At the same time, there are no advertisements and any track you like can be immediately downloaded to your library.

"Readers"

If you are a fan of literature, you can use special programs for reading e-books, which will produce text in a suitable format iPhone format. Apple offers its own iBooks. Overall, the application is good, works quickly, is compatible with all devices, so it is ideal for every Apple lover.

If you want more, then the TotalReaderPro program is a real combine that will help the iPhone recognize the vast majority of formats. Everything has been done here for the convenience of the user: many settings modes, speech block, mass free books V free access, the ability to organize and catalog.
For a real book lover -429 rubles, which are asked to install the program - are mere trifles.

Notes

In it you can create posts in a format convenient for you and add photos along the way, voice recordings or other media files. In the program menu you can sketch any texts or images by simply sliding your finger across the screen.
Not only that, but it lets you sync information to work across all your devices so you can immediately write down your brilliant idea on the device you have at hand. An excellent resource – definitely a must-have!

You can download a simplified version of the application for free, but to expand the capabilities (increasing memory capacity, additional protection, etc.) you will have to pay an additional 2.99 per month.

The menu is very concise and simple, so you can get used to it instantly. Here you can make notes, reminders, and send messages. Also, to hide information from prying eyes You can set a password to access the program.
