Busuu - This application is for learning other languages. This app is for free and it don't have much memory. I'm learning from this app Japanese and it's very simple

Photomath is a very simple application that helps me in my lesson when I can’t calculate something. You can take a picture and the result will be displayed immediately. This application is very simple to use and very helpful.

Duolingo is the fun, free app for learning more than 35 languages through really quick lessons. With this app you can practise speaking, reading, listening, and writing to build your vocabulary or grammar skills. Duolingo helps you prepare for real conversation in Spanish, French, Chinese, Italian, German, English and more. Why Duolingo? Because it is fun and very effective.

Ello is application for learning launguages. There are writing and speaking for any languages. Ello is an online social networking site. It was created as an ad-free alternative to existing social networks.

Endomondo really helps us in being more active and sporty. This is an app consist of training plans and maps – you can see the way which you went on them. There is a possibility to set the kind of sport and then the app will adjust itself to be useful at this specific kind of sport. For example there are other parameters to cycling than to walking. We liked endomondo so much.

Fitness for women - a free application with which any girl / woman can practice. We can choose which part of the body we want to train. The application may send us reminders when should we work out. We can also monitor how much water we have drunk and how much more we need to drink. Exercise sets are tailored to our needs, after each workout we can judge whether it was too simple or too difficult. Thanks to this exercises can be very pleasant, and most importantly it gives results !!!

Flowkey – A learning app that allows you to learn piano.  It uses the mic in your device to listen, and it gives you advice and rates your performance.

Google Maps is very useful application for people who have “poor terrain orientation”. It is also very helpful for those who know area but need to find the fastest route to destination, because it shows information about traffic jams and traffic on the roads. What distinguishes this application from others is an option of viewing photos from a given place, as well as street view. You can also choose routes for various types of transport, e.g. car, bicycle, public transport or by foot. The presented maps are clear and there is a sound option - navigation.

More and more orders are delivered with InPost company, but not everyone knows there is an app, helping people who order lots of things to parcel lockers. This app sorts and shows all your orders and status of your packages. You can follow the journey of your order. Big advantage of InPost is that it works 24hours 7 days a week. You can easily pick up your parcel during an evening walk or after work. What’s more you can use the application to open the locker remotely.

Jak dojadę is the most useful app we’ve ever used. It always helps us a lot when we would like to go somewhere in Warsaw. Jak dojadę searches bus, tram and underground services. You may also buy the tickets via Jak dojadę and check timetables. The best thing is that jak dojadę is still developing by the founders.

Lastpass is a password manager app. You can use it to save all your passwords so can have different passwords for every account. It’s a smart app that makes you safer. I think is a very interesting app, and one of the best password managers with functions such as auto filling.


mBank is very good. You use it to check your account ballance and pay. It is very useful in everyday life. You can also transfer money to someone.


Pyszne.pl is an app in which you can choose a restaurant and order food online. It is very good especially during quarantine because most restaurants were closed and you could only order food online.

Quizlet is an app which helps you learn many languages. Here, you can find tests, cards or games to understand foreign language. If you are creative, you can also create your own exam for people who want to check their skills in English or German. In my opinion, this app is just brilliant - I recommend it.

Shazam – a music app that allows you to instantly know a song, due to it recognizing lyrics and melodies out of this air.

Sleep recorder is really interesting application – it records what you said during sleeping. You have to turn on it before going to sleep. When you get up you will be able to check what you said. It helps you to explore psyche because there happens a lot while dreaming at night;)

Recently, I often use the application Tak,zdam" the repository of eight-class student from Polish. It is divided into three chapters - cultural and literary education, language education and forms of expression. Each chapter is divided into several topics. The application is great because we can study for the eighth grade exam wherever we are - in the car, in the park, in the bus.

Uber – A more of a travel app, that allows you to cheaply pay for a taxi. Due to it being so cheap and having low standards about the cab, the drivers can get a bit… shady.

WhatsApp is a globally recognized application, it is mainly used for chatting with friends etc. not so popular. During the quarantine, WhatsApp proved to be very helpful to me. Playing piano is my passion. I have been playing for 8 years. I regularly go to class to improve myself. Of course, normal lessons cannot be given during an epidemic. Which does not mean that they cannot take place at all. I have had oline piano lessons for several weeks! yes, it's possible thanks to WhatsApp. My Teacher calls me on a video call via WhatsApp and this is how the lesson goes. It can be said that the video calling function is in many applications, but on WhatsApp the sound is the best and the lesson can take place even in these difficult times.

Yanosik - It is an application that is a radar detector and navigation, it also is a radio. It’s completely free mobile app.

Zoom Video Communications is an application to talk with another people. You can speak with people with camera or not. Free meeting is 40-minutes long, but you can buy zoom premium and you have no limited time to speak.
