What are you favorite apps?

[Bible_Belt]

I finally got dragged unwillingly into the world of smart phones. I hate everything about them, but now I have one.

What are you favorite droid apps, and how do you use them? I'm sure I will check out tinder at some point. I hate mindless phone games. So far I have one chess app. I put facebook and messenger on the phone and hate them both already.

Oh **** I have many that I occasionally use. I need to go through and delete some.

I listen to music and radio all day so I have a few options for that.

IHeart radio-free
Pandora--free
Spotify---subscription

SS isn't an app but I have it bookmarked in google, I rarely login from a pc.

Venmo, I use to send $$ to friends/family and there is no charge. I don't use it a lot but it comes in handy.

I hate going to Walmart but they have an app where I get just order groceries from my couch. I just show up at the store next day and they have my order ready to go. 5 mins done.

Über or Lyft I've used a couple times.

I pretty much pay all my bills using my phone.

I buy way too much crap off Amazon. eBay & Craigslist.

That's about it really, google maps if I'm going some place new.

Google Drive i use to tie my files between the 5 computers i use daily and my phone.

Fastcase is a great app for legal research.

Learn on installing apk files. While at it, try to root the damn phone to enjoy its full potential.

I use stronglifts 5x5 for my workout. Easy way to exercise and keep track of your gains.

I also use a few banking apps to keep track of my money. Most banks have one.

YouCam makeup, that's right b1tch, see yourself in make up. Yandex weather. Google maps. Clinometer. Financial app from your bank.

"Google Sky", O think it's called. Just point your phone around the sky and it shows you what your're pointing at, including below your horizon.

"Acorns", an automatic savings program. Set it up to take X dollars out of the bank daily, weekly, monthly, whatever you want. You have a portfolio and your money is invested. You can also have credit and debit card purchase round-ups deposited automatically, and you can do what I call "impulse saving", which I usually do when I'm out and about. If I say no to buying something that I really don't need, I will sometimes transfer the money I would have spent into Acorns.

If you bill clients for time, try "HoursTracker". Great app for keeping track of time on a project.

"Sleep Time". Monitors your sleeping habits and tells you your efficiency for the night.

"Evernote". Store information into customized "notebooks".

"Waze". Other motorists keep you apprised of traffic ahead.

"To Bed". Set a reminder for you to start winding down at night.

WERS, a radio station out of Boston. Very cool station the plays cutting edge and Indie stuff

Android nerd here.

Google maps... Without it, I'd be lost and unemployed! Lol! Waze is cool, too!

Uber Driver app - it's how I make a living.

Es file explorer - organise and access your files and a lot more.

Opera, opera mini, Firefox.. All good browsers.

Pulsar - a good audio player

MX player - a good video player

Mechcom 2 - a simple RTS like StarCraft or Command and Concour.

Note: get an antivirus like cm security. I lost files because of some malware.

Any other android questions, let me know.
