The latest update gives users access to a wide range of new features including third-party keyboards, notification widgets, extensions, Siri hands-free activation and much more. Though most developers have only just begun to roll out iOS 8 optimized updates and apps, the best mobile app development companies are WAY ahead of the game. Here are five that are worth checking out right now:

1.   1Password - A great option for anyone who wants to make managing all of his or her passwords easy. The app's updated version creates an extension that allows users to fill in login credentials directly from Safari as well as other apps. 1Password also uses the touch ID feature, so users can unlock their password with a single tap. To summarize, this app now allows you to secure ALL passwords/login-information behind a single encrypted password that only you can decrypt. Plus it is completely free for a limited time so don't miss out!

2.   Swift Key – A nifty app that replaces your devices old built in keyboard and in turn minimizes the amount of typing. It learns your personal writing style, which allows for a more accurate autocorrect and next-word prediction. This application only continues to get smarter over time and a huge benefit is that it’s smooth, clean and simple to use.

3.   Yahoo Weather – An app that gives users even more reason to check the weather every morning. It has many impressive features such as modern parallax scrolling when flipping between cities, windmills that spin faster or slower based on the actual current wind speed and notifications daily of the changing weather. This application includes an animated widget for the “today” view such as sunrises or sunsets. It also uses actual images of your location taken from Flickr’s photo library as well was weather-specific illustrations like rain, snow or fog. You can even submit your own photo of the day by uploading them to Flickr and hash tagging “ ProjectWeather “.

 

4.   Evernote – This app provides an extension that allows users in Safari to save documents, photos, PDF’s and really anything else as a note. Whenever you’re on a webpage or are reading an article that you’d like to save, tap the share icon, choose Evernote and save it to your notes for easy access later. Simple as that. Also an added cool feature searches through your recent viewings while you type to find other notes in your account that might be related to what you’re currently doing. These notes appear below the note you’re looking at in the Related Notes section. It’s a great way to rediscover useful content you may have forgotten about.

5.   Personal Gofer – An app that allows you to get your To-Do list done, without actually having to do anything yourself. This “errand network” app offers maid services, driver services, moving assistance, personal assistance, handymen, nanny’s, event staff and much more. Basically you can get anything and everything you want, whenever you want. The people (Gofers) you hire are screened with background checks and are local in your neighborhood communities. You post a task, get a Gofer assigned and pay once its done.
