What apps do you have on your phone, and how do you use them?
« on: October 23, 2018, 05:14:36 pm »

At the moment, I have:

* Domain
* Eventbrite
* Instagram
* Keep Notes
* Messenger
* Podcast Addict
* PTV
* Runkeeper
* Slack
* Snapchat
* Spotify
* Uber
* WhatsApp
* 2048

Some come and go, but they're the main ones. 2048 is the only game sort of app - I seldom use it (basically just on the train when I'm podcasting). Domain is my latest addition.

Would this be pretty reflective of other people here, or do you have different types of apps?

^What are the advantages of Messenger Lite over Messenger? Less space required?

Less space required, no ads (which I noticed kept popping up on Messenger last time I had it aha) and no annoying drunk/other story popups from friends :D
Only downsides are the lack of chat heads, chat colours and reacts :)

I have way too many games, some i don't even play which is really weird. I do have netflix + spotify for train rides to school, and messenger, fb, discord and skype to talk to friends but everything else is gaming. Seeing everyone else with non-gaming apps makes me seem really inefficient  ::) I'm pretty sure I have nearly 30 games on my phone, half of which I don't even use. And ofc there's a whole folder dedicated to all the pokemon games I could ever want mehehehehe

I'm actually pretty surprised there haven't been more games so far. I wonder if phone space is an issue for some people. Like, I literally couldn't download another app atm unless I deleted stuff haha.

Interesting thread!

* Facebook
* Facebook Messenger
* Instagram
* Clue
* Uber
* Uber Eats
* Spotify
* NextThere
* CommBank
* Snapchat
* Outlook
* Google Drive
* ColorStory
* Gmail

I don't know what my apps say about me? I think the lack of gaming apps reflects the very limited GB I've got in my phone aha
Which will hold greater rule over you? Your fear or your curiosity?

This is what happens when you are an unorganised person like me and get just about every app on the planet for no good reason.

The apps I actually use would be:
- Facebook
- Inbox by Gmail
- Bible
- Spotify
- Youtube
- Netflix
- snapchat
- messenger
- reddit
- Facebook Pages
- Bendigo Bank
- Quora
and then one of the many many games depending on how I'm feeling, but I don't actually play many games

the rest I don't really touch well ever. But the Vic Emergency I am going to set up the notifications on again because I am in a bushfire prone area.

* Clue = period tracking app lol. can't afford to have any surprises !!
* NextThere = real time data for all things public transport (pretty sure it's available in every state, NZ and some parts of America) Out of all public transport apps- this is the most reliable I swear on my life on it!!
* ColorStory = got this very recently and it is a photo editing app.
