Let’s start with an app called Foap. This is a photo stock app that grants you to gain money by trading your own shots online.
The central goal of this app is to give pro-picture-takers and
beginners a service that can be used to receive money on shots. The base
of shots in this app is massive and it is well-known that huge brands
used it to look for shots. As for the process of selling, it’s quite
simple. you register as an artist and you are ready to go FOAP – Sell Your Photos.
A
Along with that, when your photo gets bought via this app you get 50%
of the price. Thus, your pics need to match some standards to be marked
in the app. For instance, your shots need to be high quality and the
resolution minimum for it is 1280 x 960 px. In case you’re not sure if
your pics match the qualify, check the settings on your mobile. You can
also follow other content makers for motivation and there’s also an
“explore” section to see what types of shots are marketing better.
However, there’s another way to gain coins on this app — you need to
enter the missions. Those are basically the tasks from the brands and
have specific requirements you need to follow. The whole mission is a
match as any users can take part in it and the one who wins takes all
the cash. It needs to be said, the missions are getting paid quite well
for and prices start at $50 and go up to $300 or more.
To crown it all, if you want to start gaining money on your shots, try the Foap app.

Snapwire – Sell your photos
The app has an active audience of content makers and clients and
there are thousands of pics getting uploaded and bought every day. Plus,
the app is open for both pro artists and beginners so you have all
chances to sell your shots even if you’re just starting your path in the
image world.

Best apps for Android and iOS
What are some of the best Android apps on the Google Play Store? What iOS apps you absolutely need to download on your new iPhone 14 Pro or iPad?
In 2022, there are so many apps on both leading mobile app stores, that finding the best ones, be it your run-of-the-mill free app or a paid app for your Android phone, is a tricky task. There's just so much to choose from!
Yet, spending a little time in each respective ecosystem easily cuts your teeth in separating the chaff from the wheat, but why do it yourself when we can guide you through the wonderful and surprisingly deep ocean of apps?
Let's explore what are arguably the best apps on both iOS and Android right now. We are not going to give you tons of options in each category, but just the best apps you can get for your Android device or iPhone on either the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store.

Telegram for iOS and Android
Telegram is one of the best messaging apps that works across both platforms. Spend enough time on the Internet and you will inevitably see Telegram flying around as a recommendation. The app is free of charge and supports group chats, but also allows you to follow certain channels and quickly get up-to-date.
WhatsApp

It's hard to describe the popularity of WhatsApp in one sentence: after all, it's one of the most downloaded apps regardless of the platform, period. WhatsApp is a cross-platform, end-to-end encrypted app with group chat functionality, stories, free video and audio calling internationally, making it a rather powerful hub for all things communication.
Viber

Despite the somewhat negative press that Facebook has got over the years, Meta's Messenger is still one of the most popular ways of communication around the world. After all, who doesn't have a Facebook account? Good news, you can use the app without one, but still make good use of all its features. There's some basic chat personalization available as well.

Best browsers for Android and iOS
Google Chrome
Get it on Android | iOS
Google's browser offering is easily one of the most popular browsers on either platform due to its domineering position in the browser space. When it comes to features, Chrome is usually one of the top offerings to score new features and utilities. If you're already using Chrome on your PC or Mac religiously, it makes perfect sense that you'd want to download its mobile version as well. Have in mind that the iOS version of the browser is often called "reskinned Safari", because Apple requires all iOS browsers to utilize its WebKit, so Google is somewhat limited as to what Chrome features it can port.
Mozilla Firefox
Get it on Android | iOS
Firefox is probably the only major browser that shies away from Google's Chromium platform and instead uses the Gecko layout engine (at least on Android). As such, it features synchronization with the full-blown Firefox PC version, extensions (on Android), web tracker blocking, night mode, autofill, desktop sync, and so much more. Have in mind that most of these are available on Android only, as restrictions in Apple's WebKit prevent Mozilla from porting all Firefox features to the iOS version of the browser.
Orion
Get it on iOS
Albeit still in beta and not being open-source, Orion is a rather promising new browser for iOS that redefines speed and brings about full Chrome/Firefox extension support. It supports a pretty long list of search engines and doesn't redirect you to Google by default, has customizable gesture support, data saver mode, built-in ad blocking, cross-device syncing with the macOS version of the app, and tons of interface customizability. There's an apparent push for enhanced privacy, with most sensitive privacy features disabled by default.

Starting off with up to 140 characters in a single tweet, the social network ultimately grew to 280 characters per tweet and is currently testing an "edit" button, which will let you fix annoying typos in your tweets in a timely manner.

Oops, did you see it? The snap is now gone! Gen Z's favorite Snapchat kickstarted some of the hottest trends in social media with stories, AR-filters, and ephemeral messages. You can snap your friends and keep those streaks going. Previously, Snapchat has received some criticism for not working optimally on Android devices, but the situation has definitely improved in recent years.

Best music streaming apps
Tidal
Get it on Android | iOS
One of the best music streaming services, at least as far artist compensation is considered and music quality is considered, Tidal is a fairly popular mainstay in the music streaming space. Unlike before, Tidal now has a free ad-supported tier available, but the appealing one is the Tidal Hi-Fi, which gives you access to high-quality versions of your favorite tracks, as well as sound formats like Dolby Atmos and 360 Reality Audio. There are more than 90 million songs on Tidal, so your favorite songs are likely on there.
Spotify
Get it on Android | iOS
The Godfather of all music streaming services, Spotify is ubiquitous and often the go-to service when music-streaming is considered. Available in both free but ad-supported and premium tiers, Spotify is among the most popular apps on either platform, period. Among its intriguing features is Discover Weekly, which lets you get out of your zone of comfort and hear music from genres you normally wouldn't, superb device compatibility, genre music stations, podcasts, and more. And just like other competing services, we have live lyrics view, so that you can easily hum to your favorite tunes!
Apple Music
Get it on Android | iOS
Apple's go-to music streaming service comes with nearly 80 million songs on board, and even though it has no free tier, it includes lossless ALAC, hi-res, studio, Dolby Atmos quality, and even spatial audio in the premium version, with no extra taxes required. There are curated playlists available in Apple Music, similar to those in Tidal and Spotify, and while the new music discovery algorithms might not be as sophisticated as Spotify's, Apple Music is priced very well for what it offers and is arguably the best streaming service to use if you're deeply involved with the Apple ecosystem.

The app is lauded for its extensive use of sliders, which brings it up-to-speed with the full-fleshed desktop version. Another compelling feature are the Lightroom presets, which let you to quickly give your photos a certain desired look. You can either import these from your desktop app or download popular custom ones, of which there are quite a lot available on the internet.
Canva
Get it on Android | iOS
Canva is definitely one of the best apps when it comes to collage making on either Android or iOS. With Canva, you can quickly and efficiently create your own unique designs for webpages, Instagram posts, or whatever else you might think of. There are tons of presets that surely would come in handy for your design needs. You also have some basic video editing skills on board, making this a must-have.

This rather intuitive app is a must-have if you often edit videos on the go, no matter if you're using an iPhone or an Android device.

While the title for the best note-taking app is certainly a toss-up between Evernote and Google Keep, Evernote gets slightly ahead with its much better third-party integration support. You can use Evernote with the full expanse of Google Suite (Drive, Docs, Sheets, etc.), Slack, Microsoft Teams, Outlook, and so on, whereas Google Keep works best with Google's own productivity apps only. Evernote also lets you attach PDFs to your notes, attach Slack messages or emails, and so much more.

Best navigation apps for iOS and Android
Google Maps
Get it on Android | iOS
Google Maps has undoubtedly established itself as the go-to digital map of the world for regular users. While its closets competitor, Apple Maps, has certainly come a long way since its inception, Google's wildly-popular mapping software is still a more feature-rich app with advanced guidance and navigation functionalities, coupled with a slightly more intuitive and easy-to-use interface. If you have a smartphone, be it an iPhone or Android device, you need this one, period. It's an essential app for a reason.
Waze

Technically Google 's second map app, Waze's strength lies in its crowd-sourced alerts that warn of you road hazards, police patrols, traffic, accidents, and anything else that might mar your driving experience. Surely, navigating with Waze isn't bad as well, and while the maps are not as detailed, it's worth having this one on your phone as well. The fun celebrity guidance voice packs are worthy of a chuckle, as well.

Along with the previous app, when you sell a pic in this one you also
get 50% of the cost. Plus, this app empowers you to customize your
profile. To be more precise, you can pick the style you usually get your
shots on and which category fits in with you. It’s not necessary to
only choose one style, you can add for up to ten on one portfolio.
Another way to sell pics in this app is by taking part in contests
that paid better. If you take part in the challenge you earn 70% of the
original price. Plus, as you load more shots to your profile and sell
more, your account’s level is getting higher. The shots of the profiles
with high ratings are showing on top of the others and you can also get
direct offers from the organizations.
In the end, if you want to start marketing your shots, try the Snapwire app. You won’t regret it!

Shutterstock Contributor
This app is a photo stock that lots of companies use to find pics for
their needs. For now, the app has been on the market for almost 15
years so its a proven resource that always pays its users fair. The only
thing the app doesn’t permit you to do is to create a new profile so
you’ll need t go to their website for that.
Apart from its sister apps this one also doesn’t permit you to see
what other users are loading and what types of shots are selling nice
and which not. Thus, this is not the service to go look for an
inspiration cause all you can see is the pics you’ve uploaded and how
well they are marketing.
B
Besides, to be able to trade shots you need to spend money on the
subscription and become the app’s contributor. Thereby, you can gain
from 20 to 30% of the cost according to the pack of your subscription.
The app also permits you to save a watermark for your pic. Furthermore,
you will gain credits when your shots will be used somewhere which is a
great opportunity for begginers.
To sum up, if you want to cover as many photo stocks as you can,
Shutterstock Contributor is a nice back-up option. You won’t be
disappointed!

500px – Photo Sharing & Photography Community
500px — Photo Sharing & Photography Community is another app that
connects photographers with their potential clients online.
The app has a huge community of photographers both pro and beginners
so you can try to use it even if you’re just getting started. Plus, the
users in the app are quite active so it’s not that hard to market your
first pic out there. You can watch other people’s accounts for
inspiration and communicate with them.
Along with the previous app, this one works with subscription packs
but you still can use the free version. This version has its
disadvantages and the most significant one is that you can only load
seven pics a week for selling which is not serious if you want to gain
real money. Thus, you can use this app as a backup or if you just want
to try marketing you shots.
As for the advanced version, there are three levels of subscription
packs that grant you to load an endless amount of pics and customize
your profile. All the images in the app are split into categories and
you can see what pics are trending in every one of them. You can also
get feedback on your shots from other users.
In the long run, if you want to be a part of a massive photon community and earn coins on that, give the 500px app a
try.
Scoopshot
Scoopshot is another app that grants to gain money on the shots you’ve taken.
In the first place, this app is a perfect service for those who want
to establish their own prices on shots. Thus, your opportunities to gain
more one gets higher if you have HQ images. After creating a profile in
this app you have two options to gain money — the first one is to
upload pics with prices and wait for the buyer to show up.
The second way is to involve in daily engagements. Those are getting
created by the brands and usually have very detailed and precise
requests for what the pics should look like. The tasks are also being
sent to users according to their location. However, there are lots of
users who can engage in one contests so the rivalry is huge.
Plus, if any brand uses your shot to their advertisement complain you
automatically get a cut of any ads income. Cool, right? The same thing
goes for online publishers. You can also customize your profile by
talking about the styles of shots you prefer, your practice, and all
that.
All in all, if you want to estimate the cost of your shots by yourself, try the Scoopshot app. It won’t disappoint you!
