Tadaa (Free)

I have an older iPhone, but thanks to this app, I can still enjoy the depth effect of Portrait Mode by applying a targeted blur to my photos.

Unsplash (Free)

If you’re a small business owner or social media marketer, you should be familiar with Unsplash. The app is a great resource of professional photos that you can download for free at will.

Google Drive (Free)

No entrepreneur should be caught without Google Drive. While many use Dropbox, Google Drive’s app is much more user-friendly and universal.

Snapseed (Free)

From minor lighting adjustments to targeted tools that let you make those highlights pop, Snapseed makes photo editing quick and easy while retaining quality.

Unfold (Free)

This is a great app for anyone who wants to take their Instagram Stories to the next level. Unfold provides beautiful, easy-to-use templates for you to pop photos and videos into, then seamlessly push them to Instagram.

VSCO (Free)

 This staple among photo editing apps has been on the market for a long time providing tons of great premade filters and a publishing platform to share those photos on. I love it for more vibey shots.

myMail (Free)

If you’re anything like me, you’re glued to three or four email accounts. myMail makes managing multiple inboxes easy, plus, it’s free! You can plug in your various accounts and check whatever you need from wherever.

Later (Free)

This scheduling app allows you to draft and auto-post to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Pinterest for free. I love Later over other schedulers because of its media gallery, which is integrated cross-device.
