There are, with a rough approximation, over 600.000 applications in the App Store. This can be overwhelming for any iPhone user.

While you could never install all of them on your mobile device, as your iPhone might start cracking only if you installed 100 apps on it, you do have to sort them out.

Just like with everything else in life, you do need to break down to the essential at first and then add up some more.

Now, with so many choices, how can you choose the best applications for your iPhone?

If you do are mesmerized by the incredible amount of applications in the App Store and you are likely lost in choosing the best apps, then keep reading- we’re giving 5 awesome tips meant to help you choose exactly what you need.

1. Start with the basics
When your phone is empty, you get the space to organize everything right and to actually build your iPhone as if it were a shelf with books.

So, start with the basics. Before installing all kind of particular applications, do install the basic and the most practical ones. Think about your number one needs, first of all- because yes, this is your iPhone. What do you need? Do you need to talk with your relatives abroad? Then install an online calling service app. Do you need to keep in touch with your employers? Install email apps.

2. Check the Top Lists
As well as Google Play, App Store has ‘Top Lists’ that let you see the best applications on the market. On your iPhone, select ‘Top 25’. In these tops you’ll find the blockbuster applications- these are the ones with the most downloads, most reviews and so on.

Yet, be aware- most popular doesn’t imply the best. There are a lot of famous application that aren’t all so good nor all so useful. As making use of these top lists can be a welcome advantage, you will still need to use your ration in order to obtain the best applications. There are also other factors to be considered while checking the top lists, that will be indeed listed below.

3. Be aware of ratings
Now, this tip you can use as a completion of the previous one. While you’ve been checking the best selling apps, figuring out how many stars out of 5 an app has can complete your perspective over the given application. If an app has 5 stars out of 5 and is also ranked amongst the best selling 25 apps, then here you go- it might be the best application for you.

The best applications will be ranked somewhere between 4 and 5 stars. If you see any application ranked with 3 or- even worse!- 2 stars, then you’d better run; the performance of that kind of applications is close to the nightmare state of being.

4. Read the reviews
Well, this tip comes in completion of the previous one as well. Make sure you do read at least a bunch full of reviews about the app you are considering to purchase. If users that have actually tried the application are mostly content with it, then you should totally give it a try.

Extra tip: when you read the reviews, make sure you find a couple of users that tested the application on the iPhone model that you own, so that you’ll know what kind of performance you can expect from it. It is always wiser to get informed particularly about the type of device you own instead of learning general things.

5. Featured
Featured, just like the top lists, is a tremendous point for starting your best-apps hunt. Apple will list a bunch of featured applications, based on their popularity, performance, reviews and so on. While browsing through the featured section in your App Store can be useful, try not to rely solely on this.

Do your homework about those applications and try ‘testing’ them with all the means: if they have a good rating, great reviews, if they are listed in the top lists, as blockbuster apps and if they are featured, then these are likely to be some of the best applications in the App Store.

The key to finding the best iPhone Apps is first of all, putting all the information together and gathering as much knowledge about these apps as you can before downloading anything and secondly- patience. Actually finding the best applications that won’t slow down your phone and won’t have a lot of bugs and unpleasant cracks takes a good amount of patience as it might take a while.

If you use all these tips and perhaps chat with your friends and see what they have installed on their iPhones you do have a good chance to find the best iPhone apps for you.
