Mobile Your favourite Apps

Do you have any favourite apps that you simply must always have on your phone and/or tablet?

I had a gazillion different things on my iPhone, but since upgrading to the S4, I don't think I've added a single app yet.
 
I got an iPhone5 and the apps I love are... Angry Birds of course, who doesn't like killing pigs with suicide birds?! RadarScope, a weather radar app that can connect to various storm chasing networks. Map My Ride, it records my cycling rides telling me how many miles I went (like this one) calories burned and so on... Tapatalk, for mobile forum access. Wordpress, for access to my blogs. Well, that appears to be it for me...
 
I used to have a TON of apps but lately I've downsized a lot.

Netflix
Sleep As Android
Handelsbanken (App for my bank. Allows me to do a lot of different things regarding my banking and my account, with my phone.)
Whatsapp
Swiftkey (I think the regular keyboard is okay but I prefer swiftkey)
Spotify

^ Those are my favorite apps. And most used ones as well.
 
I've just readded Spotify, Netflix and Whatsapp to my S4.

I was looking at Sleep As Android... what's that all about?
Putting it simply... it's an alarm clock. However you can do so much more with it. Track your sleeping pattern, having it tell you if you "owe" sleep due to your past sleeping and also one of my favorite parts.. You can have it play you lullaby's (paid version) without needing additional machines or software. Considering that my insomnia is so much more manageable when I can fall asleep to the sound of a breeze or the sound of rain it's a lifesaver.

Some features however are kind of "meh" and basic. But for what it cost me to get (the paid version) it was definitely worth it.
 
What is spotify?
You haven't heard of Spotify? It's a music streaming site/app/software. Originally created by Swedes for Swedes. Basically you either have a free version which allows you ten hours of free streaming / month (with commercial breaks every now and then) on your laptop. You can bring it with you and have your playlists saved on your account etc..

Or you can get Spotify Unlimited (Unlimited streaming, no commercial. But can't use it on your mobile devices).

Spotify Premium you can choose a higher bitrate for better quality and also bring it on any handheld device. iPad, Tablet, iPhone, Smartphone overall etc etc..

It's kind of like Grooveshark but I prefer Spotify.
 
I love Spotify.
Spotify is priceless.. It's amazing. Although I wasn't extremely excited by the changes that were made to the free version (previously known as open) when they wanted to launch on the US market. They limited it so badly..

I've been using Spotify since the beta and I've had Spotify Premium during most of that time.

I couldn't cope without it. Been using it since the beta in the UK.
 
Would spotify be good for my rides? I like to listen to music when riding since they usually last a few hours.
Yeah. But you'll need Spotify Premium which is $7.99 / Month (I think! Not entirely sure on the price for the US) but it's well worth it. You'll find anything from lesser known indie artists to Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin.. And you can make different playlists for different ocassions.

I have one for every mood pretty much haha.
 
Sounds like something I need to try out!
Yeah. You can always try Premium free for a month anyway :smiley: At least us Swedes can. I'd wager a guess that you can do that as well to see if it's something you want to keep using.

Fun fact: Spotify pretty much killed the piracy of music in Sweden. With Spotify as an affordable alternative for listening to your music, nobody had the need to download their music anymore. And this was before iTunes started selling individual songs and albums cheaper..
 
My iPad has too many apps to list on it, try to keep my phone fairly clean.

Phone has candy crush, facebook and twitter on it at the moment.
