Lars’ favorite app: Microsoft Teams

Perhaps the term ‘favorite’ app isn’t quite right, but Microsoft Teams is without a doubt the most necessary app Lars has used this year. In a year in which the entire world was forced to switch to digital working, meeting and taking classes, Microsoft Teams is the app that has developed at breakneck speed.

What started as an app for online meetings and keeping in touch with each other, has grown in just a year to become the app that countless schools use to teach children and students. Microsoft has cleverly responded to this with special features that are especially meant for home schooling.

Michel’s favorite app: Amazing Marvin

Michel’s favorite iOS app wasn’t made in 2020, but he discovered it this year. Don’t get distracted by the slightly silly name, because Amazing Marvin is a fantastic calendar app, although it can do a lot more. At the same time, the app is also the home base for to-do lists, notes and project management.

Amazing Marvin especially excels in adaptability. When setting up the app, which is also available on Android and as a desktop version, you can indicate how you bring order to your life. The foundation of Amazing Marvin is bare and it is up to you to add useful planning methods, or ‘Strategies’.

Erwin’s favorite app: OkCupid

When it comes to dating apps, of course everyone knows Tinder. In addition, apps like Bumble, Happn and Badoo are also known, but OkCupid is often forgotten. Erwin thinks this is unjustified and for a few reasons.

The biggest reason is that OkCupid’s profiles are much more focused on who you are as a person, rather than just a few photos. OkCupid offers a lot of questions that you can answer. Both questions for your profile, in which you can indicate what your favorite music is or what you like to watch, as well as general questions.

Kaylee’s favorite app: Discord

In the summer of the 1.5 meter society, Kaylee met a group of wonderful people. And how do you easily keep in touch? Discord is the answer.

In the first place, Discord is a chat platform for gamers, but the ease of use and many additional features have made the app go beyond its original purpose. Not only is the app used for talking online while gaming, but it is also a great place to meet others and hang out with friends online.

Dilara’s favorite app: the Reminders app

Except for a number of new iOS games, such as Among Us, Dilara actually always uses mainly the same apps on iPhone. In addition to online banking and email, one day she mainly opens Google Calendar, WhatsApp and Instagram. However, since this year, Dilara has also started using the Reminders app almost daily, an app that has been in iOS for a while.

With the arrival of iOS 13 at the end of last year, Apple has given the Reminders app a makeover. Since then she has used the application for so many different things that she can no longer live without it. Dilara uses the app for all kinds of lists: from a to-do list for the day to packing her bag.

Mike’s favorite app: Halide Mark II

It was a great year for smartphone photography enthusiasts. The iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max have great cameras, but Apple ProRAW may be even more interesting. This new file format allows you to edit photos with minimal loss of quality, while retaining features such as Smart HDR 3.

But what if you are not ready for a new phone yet? Then the Halide Mark II app is a godsend, according to Mike. Although you should miss Apple ProRAW on older iPhones, you can shoot ‘normal’ RAW photos with it. Halide also lets you set many things yourself. You can manually adjust the white balance and choose your own shutter speed.
