Smartphones have completely changed our day-to-day lives by making information more accessible than ever before. Many people now walk around with their own personal computers in their pockets. But, the benefits of smartphones extend far beyond making communication and receiving information easier than ever. There are also countless apps, each with their own function and purpose to make life just a little bit easier.

So, with so many smartphone apps out there, how do you know which ones are worth your time? Here’s a list of some of the more popular free apps:

• Mint – This personal finance app will make it easier for you to track your spending, pay bills on time, stick to a budget, and save for a big purchase. You can enter information for your different credit and debit cards and follow personalized financial tips based on your spending habits.
• Waze – This driving app will provide you with real-time information about traffic conditions. App users can provide information to other app users about road conditions, gas prices, and more.
• 1Password – This app will help you create and keep track of complex passwords for each of your accounts. Those with an iPhone 5s or newer are able to use their personal Touch ID to log into the app.
• TripIt – This app is invaluable for anyone going on a trip. Whenever you book a flight, tickets to an event, a hotel stay, or virtually anything else, simply forward the confirmation email to the app and it will add it to your own itinerary.

These apps just scratch the surface on what you can do with your smartphone. Chances are that if there’s something you need, there’s an app for it, so do a little browsing of your own to see what else is out there.
