You may not have the best plan out there when it comes to data due to budget constraints.

That means you've got to choose your apps wisely.

Whether or not you make Facebook Messenger, Instagram or Snapchat a must on your phone, well that depends on your social chat platform preferences.

The following three apps lend a hand in making your life better.

Google Trips

If you're planning any sort of summer adventure that will take you outside Canada or out of wifi range, you'll want this app.

From flight information, to dinner plans or directions to your accomdoations, Google Trips allows you to store all your key information and retrieve it in another country without requiring any data or WiFi.

Spotify

Let's be honest, life is better with music.

That's why Spotify makes the list. For only $14.99, the premium list gives you access to everything.

Whether studying, shopping, waiting for a bus or hanging out on a beach, Spotify has your favourite tunes selected and ready to play.

Not only that, Spotify also allows you to listen to the radio and will sync songs to your phone for offline listening.

Nest

Did you leave your furry friend at home with a new sitter and you're a tad nervous about it? 

With the Nest app, you can know if someone's at the door, inside your house or neglecting their dog-sitting duties.

It can also allow you to control your thermostat from outside the house and will alert you if there's smoke or carbon monoxide.

The price ranges between $100 to $300 for the cameras.
