8. Splitwise

This is a life-saver if you have a huge group of friends and you hate calculations. Imagine going on a trip to Goa with a group of friends.

All of you spend money as and when required but now think of sitting down and calculating each person’s share at the end of the trip. It will be a mood spoiler and a tough task to do.

Instead, just add all the expenses paid by anyone and everyone, and don’t worry about the calculations. This app will simplify debts between individuals and give you a consolidated data which will tell you who owes how much to whom. Isn’t it a dream come true?

Imagine reading a book and unconsciously closing it without putting a bookmark, it might take you several minutes to come back to the page you left last time, but kindle has an option of navigation mentioned at the bottom of the screen that lets you go back to the last read page instantly.

Sum-up

I hope this brief article will help you with the confusion that you might face organizing and using your phone. These were my top 10 picks but there are several other apps that one might need in their phone. I have not included the apps that you need for your cashless payments or your banking-related services because that depends on personal preference. Several social networking apps are also not covered in the article because that too depends on the preference of the individual.
