But smartphones are nothing without their apps. These apps are a source of large revenue for the developers and offer a lot of convenience for the users.<\/p>\n<p>So, for this issue I\u2019ve made a list of some geeky and useful apps, for both iOS and Android platforms. (Remember that some apps may be exclusive to either of the platforms; check it out before you download.)<\/p>\n<p><b>Swype Keyboard<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Swype was a revolutionary keyboard for Android when it first came out. Swype allows users to drag their fingers around the screen from key to key, and the app\u2019s magic does the rest. Swype\u2019s advanced prediction and correction technologies help minimizes mistakes. This is a must-have app if you own an Android device. It saves time and improves functionality.<\/p>\n<p><b>Swift Key Keyboard<\/b><\/p>\n<p>This is the alternative for Swype for iOS users. This app is actually a new way of typing. It has the same functionality but it\u2019s still in the early release stages, which means there may be a lot of bugs. But it\u2019s always developing, so there should be improvement in the future.<\/p>\n<p><b>aWallet Password Manager<\/b><\/p>\n<p>This app comes in handy while storing your passwords or banking details. The developer has used a specific encryption system, which keeps the records within the phone and restricts any web access, which makes it hack-proof. So, if you have a lot of information and want to store it conveniently, this might be the app for you. You don\u2019t have to be worried about your private diary being lost or somebody reading it.<\/p>\n<p><b>Snapchat<\/b><\/p>\n<p>This app needs no introduction, but I needed to include it in our list. The uniqueness of this app is that it\u2019s private and leaves no trail. It lets the users send a picture to a friend, then the picture deletes itself from the destination device after it has been read. It\u2019s as geeky as it gets.
