There should be an app that keeps a list of apps on your phone and tracks their usage on your phone. I bet, if this app was available on apple and google phones, most people would find that they don't "use" 100s of apps much rather 1,000s.

Although most of these have already been mentioned, must have apps for me are :
1. Enpass
2. Onedrive/Dropbox
3. Nextgen reader
4. Adobe reader
5. 8zip
6. WhatsApp
7. Slim for Facebook
8. 6tag
9. Client for YouTube
10. Monument browser
More than 5, but good apps nonetheless.

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 Tried searching web about it but most info is outdated by several months, and app store seems to omit dates when apps in general were last updated...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.

I've only been using it for about a month or so, but so far I like it better than the official app. We'll have to see about updates.

mTalk to incessantly read about improvements of WP here
WhatsApp + WhatsApp beta (one install per SIM)
NextGen Reader to read articles about what's new in WP
Share2speech to read all those articles to me during my commute
Waze while it still kind of works

WindowsCentral, Mspoweruser, myTube, Facebook, Messenger.

Too bad FB and Messenger are garbage and feature incomplete and myTube still lacks a lot of polish under W10M and in the app overall

1. Messenger and Whatsapp
2. HDR (Camera of WM10), always ON both HDR and flash (for the best results)
3. Auto Enhance (Camera of WM10) and Adobe Photoshop Express (specially adding light for shadows of photos)
4 Extreme Music (ads removed, as it seems to be more stable), it will take care automatically album covers and artist photos (if your tags are OK) - if missing, you can add yourself and pin them to start as you like ... and Radio FM Phone, of course (FM Radio 调频广播 for Lumia 950)
5. Others - Deezer (flow), Fi-2 Music Player (specially search of it), Resilio Sync (moving files to/from PC), Screenshot Editor, GeoPhoto (all photos on World map - easy to find all photos based on a place), Voice Recorder (recording calls), Realarm (reliable alarm app), Maps (navigation with offline maps) ...

So that's 5 - I did my best to limit to 5 :p

Wew! Five is so hard since I almost regularly use all of the apps that I have on my phone. Well, I'm just gonna list whatever apps I use daily/weekly.

For 3rd-Party Apps, they are:

1) Typical Social Media apps; Facebook + Instagram + Twitter
2) WhatsApp Beta
3) Readit (r/windowsphone and r/AskReddit)
4) Manga Blaze (Manga is life)
5) OneFootball (to give me news of my favourite football club. Note: Not American Football)
6) Steam (for 2FA)
7) AppRaisin (for discovering new apps or app updates)
8) Windows Central (coz I need to know everything Windows)

For MS own apps, they are:

1) Groove
2) Outlook Mail+Calendar
3) Edge
4) News
5) Weather

I don't play much games, but some of my favourites are/were:
