Since you're giving me permission, I'll add Audiocloud, Monument Browser, EVA, Spotify, and Awesome Tube.

I had to think about it but those are what I always open and reach for.

LastPass

[Mark F24]

Phone
Outlook Mail/Calendar
Edge
Messaging
Right now Loco Music because Groove uses too much battery.

I also use other apps like Pandora, iHeart Radio, podcast, Audible, ProShot, but those are the ones I use every day. I probably use the phone app the least, but by necessity it is the most important. So in all actuality, I have a multifaceted audio/video media device with voice and text communication capabilities!! LOL

You are all lying. Windows phone doesn't have any apps.

I ain't gonna lie, or list MSFT core apps

- Fantasia Painter
- MyTube

I use FB but not the official app, using Slim Social or use Edge and pin it to the start screen, it works..

Haha! For me, I kind of love the indie apps on this platform a lot and I miss them when I use my iPhone.

First party apps are cool too but I don't know, the indie apps are more fun for the other apps I'm looking for aside from Instagram, GroupMe and Slack of course.
I can't believe that I forgot about ProShot. I love it too.

So what's your take on the Tweet It! app, better than the official or similar too. Does the app get updated regularly? Tried searching web about it but most info is outdated by several months, and app store seems to omit dates when apps in general were last updated... Could be blind on the latter so if we are someone please enlighten me.

 

[darrell reimer]

No one listed WindowsCentral? (i have 2 versions....)

Converge
Flipboard
Nextgen Reader
Instagram
MyFitnessPal
Flixster

Non core/non Microsoft Basically 3rd party only top 5 (edit: Ok I totally failed at nailing down 5)

1) Whatsapp
2) IM+ Pro
3) Instagram
4) myTuner Radio Pro
5) NextGen Reader
--- not super functional standalone but serves a big purpose for me in terms of information at a glance ---
6) Tiles for Outlook (had to add it cause it's such an awesome tile and it does just that, all i want)
7) Appointile I still use it just to have a nice calendar list on the lock screen.

Games I play - just enough of a distraction without being burdensome on time
1) Pocket Tanks
2) World Domination
3) Alphajax

Edit: I avoided these cause theoretically I could make do with webpage, but I do use them all the time
1) Sofascore (NHL hockey follower)
2) NHL Scores & Alerts (I need a better one to follow all the stats for my fantasy pools!)

I'm new to WP. Only got three must have apps thus far, Skype, Tunein and WC. Need something to manage my email better, a Wikipedia reader, and route tracking app.
