Social
Of course, like every other smartphone out there I have all of the
generic social apps out there: Facebook,
Twitter, Instagram, Messenger, Tumblr, Pinterest and who doesn’t love a bit of Snapchat? I probably use them all more on the apps than the actual
websites. I also have Goodreads app
which may not be a social app but I downloaded the app to keep up-to-date with
threads.
Email
iPhones obviously come with the Mail app but as I have so many different emails I also have the Outlook and the Gmail apps too. I know some people that use the Outlook app instead
of the Mail because it’s better for organisation. It’s true so I use it for my
more professional email which I use for jobs etc.
Games
I rarely play games on my phone and if I do I end up deleting them
because I waste too much time on them. Currently I only have Blitz (which is a bit like candy crush
just with jewels) Lumosity and Peak which are both brain training apps
and QuizUp because I have an
addiction to knowing everything there is to know about Friends.
Shopping
The eBay app has a lot
of explaining to do to my bank account, but I also have Amazon, New Look and UNIDAYS to not only find out about
sales and offers but it’s also easier to get a code or show shops to get
student discount.
Photos
We Heart It mainly to find pictures to use for blog posts
if I don’t have any good ones of my own and VSCO to edit photos.
Lifestyle
Lloyds Bank
app – for ages I put off joining the online banking world but I was so wrong,
having the app makes everything so much easier from transfers just to keeping
track of your spending. National Rail
app – I’m on the train every week and have to make a change so the app is great
for knowing what platform to be on and if there are any delays etc. I also have
the Tube Map app as my sister now
lives in London I need to get the hang of the tube. After using the Notes app
to make lists I found the much more efficient Wunderlist which allows you to
tick things off with a simple click. Timehop
and Countdown apps to look both at
memories and things to look forward to, however I often forget to add upcoming
events onto my Countdown. Finally, one app I downloaded after reading about was
Rx Breakup as I did in fact go
through a break up. Whilst I can see the benefit of this app if people take it
seriously, I did not and I go weeks without looking at it despite it being
aimed to look at daily for a month. Definitely need to be deleting.
