Best Free Mobile Apps

Let’s talk about the best free mobile apps! There are four of them, and I use each one at least weekly!

Credit Karma [01:19]

• Credit Karma is a free app that tracks your TransUnion and Equifax credit scores.
• It is truly free, and it updates your scores every few days. It’s ad supported, but you’re never asked to pay for anything.

Acorns [03:37]

• Acorns is a tremendous investment app! It allows you to invest pocket change automatically!
• Disclaimer: I do not claim to be a financial expert. I have been quite successful with this app, and so I’m bringing it to you. However, please know that any financial decisions you make are yours alone, and that I do not claim responsibility!
• Anyway, this app is truly a set-it-and-forget-it kind of app. You grant it access to your bank and credit card accounts, and it monitors your purchases.
• Then, it rounds each purchase up to the nearest dollar and invests that into a portfolio!
• It couldn’t be easier 😀

Screebl [07:39]

• Screebl is an Android-only app (sorry iPhone users!) that prevents your phone from locking at inconvenient times
• It detects when your phone is upright (i.e., not on a flat surface), and disables the auto-shutoff feature
• Then, when the phone is set back down, it re-enables it and allows it to auto-lock normally
• It also has a manual screen lock feature. For example, if you’re browsing an article with your phone laying on a table, you can enable this feature to keep the screen on!

LastPass [10:56]

• Finally, LastPass is a terrific password manager! It syncs your usernames and passwords across any devices you have. That includes desktops, laptops, tablets, and phones. This includes Apple, Windows, and Android devices!
• The base app is free, so it still fits into this list 🙂
• However, the reason I use it is for its ability to autofill credentials on mobile apps. I hate typing in usernames and passwords on my phone, and this app saves me from having to do that!
• The mobile autofill feature is a paid feature though. It’ll cost you $24 per year, and in my opinion, it’s totally worth it!
