to ask you what apps or programs you can't live without?

[Sweetener12]

For me it would be music apps and probably reminders, I tend to forget everything. I'm fine having no access to messengers for several days which was a surprise for me when I found out. What about you?

I'd rather live without any and just use websites when I wish.

Banking app, prime video, uni. Think that's it.

I also just access websites when I need them.

Period tracking app
Skyscanner - air traffic app
Google Translate - I don't really speak the language where I live
Relax Melodies - ambient sounds and guided meditations
Down Dog - Yoga classes app
Google Keep - A second brain
WhatsApp
Various banking apps

Ahh I'd forgotten WhatsApp

Spotify, Shazam, VSCO, BBC Sounds Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Regrann, InShot, email apps

Oh and Pocket for things to read later

Probably at the moment, mumsnet, then watsapp, and Wikipedia

At the moment Prime video and the Virgin Media telly control one so that I can watch stored tv on my iPad. It does vary though, I do like a good weather one and banking apps.

Can anyone recommend free guided meditation or relaxation apps please.

My notes app everytime I see a film/TV show I want to watch or a new place to visit or resturant to try, I put it in one if my notes lists.

My bank app
Spotify
My period tracker
National Rail
Uber
DP would say Banking, NHS app and Deliveroo /Uber Eats - obviously the latter two are fab and appreciated when I want to use them but he likes take out more regularly than I would on my own!

TikTok- love it. OK I'm addicted.

Spotify -- or some kind of ad-free music streaming

bank -- not like they send statements any more

train timetable (in normal life)

weather apps -- I'm outside a lot, they all disagree!! Good to get a range of opinions what they say

Gym -- only way to book a session

Keep --we track all sorts on Google keep, shopping, security codes, adult DC addresses, my NI number...

telecon software like TEAMS -- my ipod is my only camera enabled device at moment

Social media -- I use it for work

ebay - easiest to add pictures to listings from app , I sell stuff for charity

email, quickly see urgent messages

WhatsApp, messenger -- also for messaging

Podcast app -- help me fall asleep

WhatsApp seems to have become an essential. gmail. I use the MN app on my pad but i used the browser for years before that so it's not actually an essential.

Google maps, met office weather. Apple fitness/activity/health apps which go with the watch.

Banking and Times apps, though if they didn't exist I'd use the website.

DH makes a lot of use of MemoryMap when we're walking.

I couldn't do without Audible for books and podcasts.

Also love MapMyRun as I'm trying to achieve 5k

None

Spotify
Fitbit
Noom
Instagram
Banking
Gmail
Waze
Pinterest
Etsy
Presco

Microsoft To do app
Stocard

WhatsApp and banking.
I use other apps but they aren't essential in that websites are available as an alternative.
I suppose that's also true of banking but the app is easier.
I hate filling up my phone memory with apps when most sites are easy to access through Google. I have dozens of tabs open for this very reason.

I guess that makes Google my most essential app lol

Oh and my camera. I take millions of pics of my cat

Google converting inches into centimetres because DH and I work together and even though he knows perfectly well that we order everything in by CMs, he still measures in inches.

Drives me round the bend but this saves me sitting with an open tape measure!

Banking apps, calorie tracker, Spotify and Google Camera app. I also need PicsArt quite often to do quick edits and I always use Photodiva and Photoworks on my laptop, so guess this counts, too.

@vjg13 Insight Timer is really good for free meditation
