Best Free Navigation Apps for iPhone That Aren't Apple Maps
By Jordan Sweeney
Technology has become a crutch for everything we do: eating, working out, listening to music, and so on. One of the most important technological tools we rely on is GPS apps. We use navigation apps to travel everywhere. Very seldom do people use physical paper maps to get from point A to point B; it’s all about the apps. However, not every iPhone user loves Apple Maps. These alternative iPhone maps apps can help us do anything from using public transportation to driving our own vehicles and everything in between. They can tell you how long your trip will take, where to get gas, and even where to stop and eat along the way. Here are a few of my favorite free navigation apps that I use all the time.

But for the everyday person, it’s a fun new way to create professional-looking videos that are easily shareable with friends and via social media. I’ll go through everything you need to know to start creating and editing videos with the Clips app. This is the latest Apple app, and it seems that its main purpose is, simply, fun.
