5 best iOS apps you must try this month
Affirm
Category: Buy Now, Pay Later
Affirm is a new-age ‘buy now, pay later’ app, or BNPL, and the term is pretty self-explanatory. Available in the US, Canada, and the UK as core supported markets and 50+ global markets via partnerships, Affirm allows users to increase their purchasing power front and center.
Shop from more than 320K merchants, discover deals, and distribute repayment plans over 12 months. Affirm lets users make purchasing decisions when they absolutely need to buy or invest in something, while breaking down the impact it could have on their expenses on a monthly basis. The app is Visa-powered and works in tandem with partnerships, merchants, and more to allow users to repay in easy EMIs.

CallSheet
Category: Entertainment
If you happen to follow movies and TV shows, you must be searching all over to find the cast, crew, episodes, and other details of a particular TV show or movie. If “Who is that actor?” or “I have seen this actress somewhere” buzzes your mind whenever you are feasting your brain with adrenaline, whether on the TV or OTT, Callsheet is an app for you.
Callsheet is your encyclopedia for everything you need to know about the TV shows and movies you are watching at the moment. Find out information about the shows, turn off any information that can trigger spoilers, such as episode titles and thumbnails, and see who stars in your movie, and more. It resembles IMDb much closer to IMDb but essentially without ads and any fluff that might hinder your user experience.

SCRL
Category: Social Media / Editor
I use social media a lot, and I bet you use it too. If that’s the case, SCRL can be a distinguishing factor between regular and pro usage. The app is impeccable when it comes to creating photo collages and carousels for Instagram (that you can use on other platforms too). The app supports countless hand-picked templates that you can start with, and there’s a design for each occasion out there.
Create stunning swipe-through carousel posts or check out premade grid layouts for more photos, or try the freeform canvas to make a personalized project of your own. SCRL offers an array of stickers and overlays made for your Instagram and TikTok viewers. The premium subscription goes a notch ahead, adding a bunch of design tools, videos in grids, gradient backgrounds, and access to more layouts and templates out there. It’s time to redefine your social media experience with SCRL.

Vocabuo
Category: Language Learning
Learning a new language can be daunting, especially when you have heard that a particular language is difficult to learn. Well, Vocabue makes it a tad bit easier. The app covers six languages for now, i.e., English, Italian, Spanish, French, German, and Swedish. The app takes you on a journey towards learning new words (from its trove of thousands of words) in each language, rated with A1 to C1 exams in terms of proficiency.
You can choose your preferred learning method, whether you want to tap, type, or speak—I’d prefer speaking. There’s an AI tutor built in that helps you role-play situations, allowing you to make sentences and not just learn new words—the definitive meaning of learning a new language is the ability to form sentences. Vocabuo lets you add words from websites, videos, e-books, and more, creating a conducive environment where you recall and retain new words. Its Spaced Repetition System (SRS) schedules flashcards with new words to learn at intervals, making retention easier.
