So what apps do you use the most, and what apps do you refuse to get rid of?

My favorite apps are Overdrive which connects to my local library for ebooks and audiobooks,

Podcast Addict for podcasts, I listen to a ton.

Smart Audiobook player for other audiobooks that I happen to have,

Youtube for youtube (whodathunk?)

Plex to stream videos stored on my computer at home

Facebook

Teamviewer to connect to my computer at home

the Flashlight which I use for a surprising amount of things

Google maps/gps to keep myself from getting lost on the road.

And the Stud Detector for finding nails in the wall. I actually rarely use this one, but I refuse to get rid of it because it works so well.

Also I use google keep, like a lot. Grocery lists, organizing, or sometimes just typing out, my thoughts, to do lists, christmas lists, etc. It's just a good app, probably a bit too simplistic at times, but it's really useful.

Google cards that most people dont even know about, is what I check most often by far.

On Android if you got to your search bar and thumb down you get news stories tailored to your browsing interests

technically not an app but its what I use my phone for the most, second would be weather channel

That's an excellent question, and I'm not really sure. Frankly I wasn't aware phones were capable of such a thing, but it works.

Phone, text messages, internet

Occasionally I'd play Rayman or some casual game that's fun for 5 mins :)

Feedly, because I'm old-fashioned.

YouTube, obviously.

Wikipedia, because I'm an addict.

Steam, for two-factor authentication and for checking releases and sales.

BBC Sport and Eurosport.

Wikia Game Guides, so I don't have to tab out when I'm gaming.

And finally, ColorNote, for reminders, checklists, note-taking, and typing this very post - in case the damn browser crashes JUST LIKE HOW IT FRIGGIN' DID A MOMENT AGO. BLOODY HELL.

Can you watch any channel outside of your home wi-fi connection?

Xfinity can't.

Google products (Gmail, YouTube, Docs, Calendar, Maps, Photos). Wished I used docs more to further explore my writing ability hobby. But I need to get an ideal laptop to feel comfortable pursing that passion. I already got a few compliments that I should consider starting a blog.

Using Instagram a lot since making one. Far better vibes than Facebook. More personal, less perfect imagery, more honesty and openness. Less politics and questionable agendas. Messaging apps. And much more than I honestly thought when I initially starting writing this post. That being said, I don't really go web browsing for the best apps. I get them mainly through word of mouth.

One and a half year old thread. Rezzed by apparent bot, too.

For the record, my answer hasn't changed much since; just with one more addition. I use the Warframe app a lot; mainly to check Fissures and Sorties, and manage my Extractors and Foundry.

Spotify/Amazon music and Sony Imaging Edge Mobile. I like not carrying a phone, though.

Music and as a wireless Intervalometer.

Ever since this girl started tracking my phone all crazy i just dont use it all that much. She showed me the app she uses, years back. Lol now i got people stalking me and ongoing death threats from a jealous guy.

Yah, smartphones. Amazing. Lol. Cant wait to here her explanation.

Also cant believe how easy it is to do such a thing
