Are you struggling with your social media content, growth, and engagement? (Be honest)! There are so many apps and tools out there that it can be hard to figure out which ones are actually worth your while. Luckily for you, I’ve rounded up the 10 best free social media apps to help increase your engagement and make social media a little bit easier for you. #yourewelcome 😉

1) Snapseed

Having beautiful images and photos is essential for increasing your social media engagement. Snapseed is a great photo editing app that is free and available for both iOS and Android. If you take and share many photos with your phone for social media, uploading to a computer to edit them can be a pain, however Snapseed makes photo editing a breeze.

2) Sprout Social

The leading feature of Sprout Social is its in-depth insights and analytics. If you want more insights into your content and audience, you can’t go wrong with Sprout Social. Their plans are a little costly for a solopreneur, but the investment can be worth it if your business’s social media marketing is a major focus.

3) Lightroom Mobile

Another great option for mobile photo editing is the free Lightroom mobile app. It’s also available for both iOS and Android users.

4) Canva

We all know Canva is an excellent tool for creating social media graphics but are you using their mobile app? The app makes it easy to create your graphics and upload them directly to your social media platform. If you need some new Canva templates, check out the Entrepreneur Templates membership.

5) InShot

InShot is a video editing app that is available for both iOS and Android users. You can easily add music, create transitions, add text, and so much more.

6) Followers App

One trend that I hope goes away forever on Instagram is the follow and unfollow gimmick. The easy way to grow an audience of true followers is using the Instagram Followers app. You can quickly see who has unfollowed you, and if they followed just to unfollow within a few days, you could easily remove them as well.

7) Autohash

Autohash is a good app for finding hashtags that are specific to the contents of a photo. Simply upload an image and see what hashtags are generated!

8) #HashMe

Finding and using the right hashtags is key for growing your audience and getting your content in front of new audiences. The #HashMe app helps with finding new hashtags that will work for your target audience.

9) Hashtag Expert

Another option for hashtag research and finding the right hashtags to use is Hashtag Expert.

10) Planoly

When it comes to social media, we know how essential consistency is. Having a scheduler that you can use via mobile will help you create and schedule your content consistently. The Planoly app is one of the best scheduling tools I have found.
