Let's talk about apps

[Muddled]

What apps are your favorites?
Which ones do you use most often?
What games are you into now?

[Deleted]

ProBoards and Livestrong are my favorites, they're also the ones I use most often.
Other frequently used are Weather.com and Mint.com.
The only game I have on my phone is Sudoku.

My phone is super super boring. Although I do have a iBartender app that's pretty great for figuring out how to make weird drinks.

plants vs zombies!
cozi organizer and angry birds (Joaquin LOVES those fuckers). I'm getting into Pepperplate, but I'm wishy washy on it, since it seems like you have to set it up on their website, which then why the fuck am I using an app, kwim?
PLANTS VS ZOMBIES!

I don't use a lot of apps. Weather and Groupon are used on a daily basis, and Pinterest and Ebay are used occasionally. I was excited to download the Pixlr app, but it's a lot different from the Web version. Pixlr the app is just like Instagram. Pixlr the Web version is just like Polyvore.

I have intense love affairs with apps - it'll burn bright for a while and then I get tired of them. Flipboard, Words with Friends, Angry Birds, and Draw Something have all suffered this fate.

What is Plants Vs. Zombies? Your clear love for it has me intrigued, Broc.

[broc]

You plant plants on your lawn in order to stop zombies from coming into your house and eating your brains. There's a peashooter that shoots peas to hurt the zombies, wallnuts you can set up to prevent the zombies from coming closer so you can shoot them with peas longer, etc.

It's made by the same people who made Bejeweled, and it's just as freaking addictive.

ETA - if you want you can play a flash version online to try it out before you buy it: www.popcap.com/games/plants-vs-zombies/online

I have a bunch of relaxation apps. The "____ by Andrew Johnson" ones. I think I have relax, deep sleep, power nap/energy boost, and build confidence. I also have White Noise, which had tips of great sounds. I use it for myself as well as in my groups. I also use Google Play Music and things like Evernote.

My favorite fun apps, currently, are sudoku, cribbage, and draw something. Overall my phone's pretty boring, though.

[Muddled]

Cribbage! There's an app for cribbage?

Thanks, Broc. I was coming in here to compain about just that.

Proboards is my current favorite app (obvs). I'm in a long-term love/hate relationship with the Facebook app. I still love Angry Birds and play every few weeks, same with Draw Something, I'll play it about once a week. The Instagram app for Android is ok and I use it a few times a week.

I wanted to get the LinkedIn app but it allegedly publishes your private Google calendars so I'm wary. Anyone have this app and know what the deal is?

Pretty much this. I have fun apps that I'll use obsessively for days in a row and then don't ever look at them again. I use practical apps like Groupon and Amazon on a regular basis.

The ones I actually have USED (ignoring the ones like angry birds and 'draw something' free :-)

i-garage-sale-lite for andriod = find garage sales, yay!
keyring--lets me store all my barcodes on my phone.
Toddler-lock--entertains buffy, free, is the ONLY one that actually REALLY locks the phone so she can't call Abuh-Dahbi
Android QR reader
Craigslist-see the i-grage-sale idea
JoannFabric's--I can have my coupons scanned from my phone


I had a migraine tracker, but I don't like it, so I use goggle docs for that.
And I find urban spoon over-rated because, uh, I'm not urban.

I forgot My Days. It's a great app for tracking your period and you can create a widget that gives you a countdown to your next start date. You can also use it for charting, I think, but I just use it for period tracking.

I love IHeartRadio and Smurf's Village (I have over 40 Smurfs already, yes, I am a dork).

[Chirp]

KeyRing
Shazam
Out of Milk (free version)
Facebook
Cooking Dash (awesome time waster)

I just downloaded the Toddler Lock. I have my brother's graduation tonight, so I'm sure it will come in handy.

My phone is uberböring.

I am soo not an app girl. I mainly like the games though. I still enjoy words with friends and scramble with friends. I also frequently use my gmail app and g+ is cool because it automatically uploads all my pictures right to picasa. I'd like a cool camera app if anyone has any suggestion?

[maucat]

Oh yes, gmail, google talk/gchat, google+, are all great. TBH, gchat is my most-used app, since I can't get online on my work computer.

[bowies]

Oh yeah, I forgot Pandora and LibAnywhere. LibAnywhere is one of the best inventions ever - I can hold and renew my library books from my couch.

I'm also a fan of Google Catalogs for when I'm bored.

[exploding people]

I use Facebook, Twitter, Words with Friends, and Instagram on a fairly regular basis.

I'm waiting for Zombies, Run! to come out on Android. It looks awesome.

[motzie]

Instagram
Evernote
Amazon
Logos Quiz

I wish the Pinterest app wasn't so sucky. It's gotten better, but still not really usable.

[dirtyred]

Besides the games, the most used apps are weather and bills reminder, which I use for everything from the dog's heartworm to those random work meetings I have to attend on my days off.

[Muddled]

So far, I have downloaded an app to learn Spanish and crossword puzzles. I was wondering if people still played Words with Friends or if I was 5 years too late.

[pinkplasticdoll]

I play scramble with friends. I have bubble pop, tweet deck, facebook, reddit, mlb live,gmail, g+, run tracker, my fitness pal apps.

[crabby]

I still use words with friends and scramble with friends. I tend to be different from most of the responses in that I get hooked and stay hooked! Those are probably the ones I use the most, but I am a bit of an app junkie. Oh and my kindle app I use. And Netflix and Redbox
