Hundreds of new apps are released each and every month and for that reason, it can be difficult to keep on top of which are worth downloading and using on our smartphones and tablets. However, in the main categories, it is once again the usual suspects that are dominating. Take a look at the 6 must-have apps you must use in 2021.
Best Social Media App – Facebook
Despite plenty of competition in the social media industry, Facebook still reigns supreme, and this is the same in terms of the app it provides. Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp, and many others close the gap each year but cannot quite get to the dominance of the world’s largest social media platform. Other notable names include TikTok which has seen a massive growth in the last year while YouTube always remains strong.
Best Movie Streaming App – Netflix
Did you know Netflix started out as a DVD selling company? We bet you didn’t know that and some other interesting facts about Netflix! Well, it is clear that a company known to be among the top 10 biggest in the world is still number 1 when it comes to movie streaming sites. Amazon Prime, HBO Max, and Hulu are doing their best to catch up, but we cannot see the toppling of Netflix any time soon.
Best Sports Betting App – Bet365
If you wanted to know the best booker app in the UK, we would have to go with Bet365. Why?
Well, there are tons of great sports betting apps developed by UK bookmakers, but many a Bet365 review has it among the best. Places such as here have detailed reviews of the many UK bookies but list Bet365 top due to having the best set of pros & cons, offering quality customer service, and fantastic bonuses and promotions. The Bet365 welcome bonus and the odds and betting markets it makes available also stand out, as does the live streaming and in-play betting the app allows you to enjoy
Best Cryptocurrency Trading App – eToro
This category is probably the one most keenly contested, as there are plenty that could claim to be the best right now. We went for eToro as the best all-around app, but depending on your trading experience and needs, you could easily go for the likes of Coinbase, Binance, YouHodler, and NSBroker. The cryptocurrency industry is fast-evolving too, so there is always a chance new trading platforms could come and trounce what most current platforms have to offer.
Best Music App – Spotify
Spotify has led this category for several years but plenty of competition has spawned recently which should test the platform’s resolve. YouTube Music is one such competitor but others including Tidal, Amazon Music, Deezer, and Apple Music are doing their best to capture an increasing portion of the market share. For now, Spotify is the best overall package but this may well change in the coming years.
Best Travel Apps – Skyscanner
This is another difficult category simply because different travel apps serve different purposes. We went for Skyscanner because it is the best app for finding the cheapest flights. However, you could go for AirBnb, Uber, Kayak, or CityMapper depending on what you want to use the app for. In fact, it is probably best to download them all as they each offer fantastic benefits for those of you that like to travel a lot.
Conclusion
So, it is business as usual for many of the big names in each category. We do suggest you check out all of the competition, however, as some are definitely closing the gap. Don’t be afraid to try out some new apps from time to time too, as you might just find some hidden gems.
