Your favorite phone app?
I know this has been kicked around before but it has been awhile.
What are your must have apps on your phone?
Mine:
Pandora, I pay the $4 a month for premium with no commercials, that allows me to logon to the account at work and listen all day to music commercial free, plus it has an alarm function so it is effectively a clock radio for me.
Waze, A GPS app that I like a lot more than google maps.
I have my two bank accounts apps (Citibank and Bluebird)... yawn...
Video poker, my goto time killer for waiting at the Dr. office, etc.
I'm a little embarrassed to admit I have Facebook installed, but I have been using it to sell things.
With the recent storms passing through I have become a little obsessed with weather apps. the default accuweather is cool in that it has real time radar and satellite however is not 100% accurate on temperature (ironic with a name like that).
A buddy told me about weather underground, cool app in that it lets you connect to any weather station you chose (including a Buoy about a mile out in the ocean... not sure why I need to know the temp and wind speed/direction a mile out to sea but I can if I want!), however the graphic are a bit clunky.
Please don't flame me there is an app called 'Bible gateway' that allows word/topic/verse search for a couple dozen translations.
I use the pre-loaded calendar, calculator, etc.
On a related topic, I finally gave in and went to the dark side, joined the google empire (yes, I know they now have all my data).
But... my new phone died and when I took in in for a warranty replacement I just popped the SIM card in, it connected to the great google cloud in the sky and it updated everything, apps, phonebook, calendar, everything, I also like that gmail/calendar is synced to my computer.
Maybe I'm showing my age, my phone is pretty much used for GPS, email/text, music, poker and facebook are the only fluff (and all the cool kids have left facebook and moved on to newer/better social media... pretty much just us oldsters on there now complaining to the neighborhood watch about the homeless guy peeing in the ally or try to sell off the old junk in the garage).
So, what are your favorite apps for your phone?
