What kind of apps to you typically use?

Are you more the gaming app type, have lots of different picture editing apps, or do you prefer apps for productivity and organization?

Feel free to suggest good ones or ask for recommendations.

Skype and Whatsapp for communication with my international Internet friend group. Google Docs to write between my laptop and my phone. Myfitnesspal because I'm anorexic trash. Stockfish for playing chess against a computer engine. Tumblr and Neko Atsume.

Don't use any other apps besides the stock iPhone ones. I don't really see the appeal; all I do on my phone is read and write.

Honestly I never use photo editing apps on my phone lol…I prefer selfies without filters and if I have a lot of zits I guess I'd remove them lol. But i rarely make selfies so i dont need those apps i think.

I just use safari, reminders, youtube, sometimes twitter&instagram to lurk my timeline, mymedia, notes (school, i use notes as a pen) and onedrive (because i just got myself a windows laptop…i barely use lol). Oh, and once in a while I check out my my t-mobile app lel. And if I need to travel and I dont know where the fuck im going i like to use the navigation app or a navigation app for busses and trains.

As for games I downloaded a bunch but I never played them…if you want to waste space download alpaca world, neko atsume and skychasers. If you dont have your iphone jailbroken and download a lot of files on your phone, download mymedia, best app for such stuff tbh.

(usually I have labels turned off on my homescreen)

-dashchan. Wish it has a lolcow module.

-popup widget in conjunction with nova launcher to mimic action launcher's "shutter" feature. Nova is prettier than action and permanent widgets take up too much space on the homescreen and I don't like having more than one homescreen.

-adaway, xposed, lucky patcher, blackmart: there was only ever once I paid for software and that was in 2000. Am I a shitty person? Guess so. Too bad the phone needs to rooted for the first 3.

-netease music: it's like free spotify for the chinese and you can even download songs though more and more songs are being removed. I think there's an english translation of it on XDA.

-twilight: the least annoying blue light filter I could find. But still it displays an persistent notification. I block that in app settings and use the widget instead.

-moovit: if you travel by bus and google maps' data for your area is crappy/nonexistent, perhaps this app will do a better job depending on where you are.

Can someone explain to me why people use a bunch of different social media apps? I'm not friendless or autistic or anything but I only use facebook or texting pretty much.
Meanwhile some people have like, twitter, insta, fb, snapchat, whatsapp, and whatever the fuck else and they use all of them regularly.
I get they have slightly different purposes - maybe fb for IRL friends, insta for online ones, snapchat for dirty or silly pics. Are your social lives really that varied and thriving though?? I still don't understand twitter though other than news updates during major events. Just out of the loop I guess.

Asides from physical interaction with my friends FB is the main way I speak to them. So it's pretty much just been reduced to messenger for me. Then Twitter is for procrastinating and just tweeting silly things that cross my mind and looking at the shitty @dory accounts. Instagram is like a photo album for me where I can post cute selfies or photos with my friends & bf. Snapchat is like "hey look at me i'm going out tonight and look hot" or "hey look at how good my life is at this exact second." I don't use whatsapp.

I guess social media is kind of narcissistic because we all expect people to give a fuck about what we post.

For me it's because not everyone prefers and uses the same apps/websites. I used to use skype daily but now I use line for my rl friends. I had a viber before but I don't talk to the friends who used it back then anymore and it was a shit app anyway. I have a fb because everyone else does so they expect me to use it just in case, but I barely go on fb nowadays. I use tumblr for fandom shit and to talk to friends I made there and twitter is to get news about video game releases directly on my tl. I'll probably delete my fb soon because I hate he site and I wish I could also delete my skype but it's tied to one of my email adresses. A bunch of friends asked me to get instagram and a snapchat but I don't see how I could use it personally so no.

I stopped playing Line Play because their gacha shop oversight is ridiculous. I used to play this every day for over a year or two. I even paid real money to buy some in game currency because I was so happy with their fairness of this game (that you could play without ever spending anything and still fully get almost everything).
One time, I had saved up something like 100,000 gems over a few months. I was looking through the gachas, and I think when I was trying to scroll down accidentally pressed the 90,000 prize where you get multiple prizes (not sure on that number, it was a long time ago so I don't remember)? There was no confirmation button and no way to cancel. It just happened automatically. So here I was after months of saving with the ugliest items from a gacha I didn't even like or want! I tried to contact Line to see if I could resolve this and they totally ignored me, didn't even bother to reply. I just feel there should be some confirmation button after such a huge ridiculous purchase when it's so easily pressed. I was so angry and upset I totally stopped playing it :(

I'm pretty much an avid app gamer and I love finding some hidden gems that are well suited on the phone. The one polished game I've found for multiplayer is game of dice and I'm sad not many people know of it. I've played it for a year now and they constantly update and give away a lot of free stuff. It's an amazing board game for handhelds- I actually find it more enjoyable than the actual digital board games like Mario party for the 3ds. I also think that every person should have an NDS emulator on their phone (Drastic emulator) it's well worth it for the hundreds of NDS games at the palm of your hands.

By default, apps you download save to the internal memory (built into the phone), but you can move them to the external memory (the card you put in the phone).

These apps are for Android.

> Tinfoil for Twitter

> Face Slim
Wrapper apps for facebook & twitter that look like the full-sized privacy raping monstrosities, but really are just loading the mobile version of the web page underneath a WebView. If you have resource problems caused by the facebook app or are just concerned about them sucking up all the data from your phone sensors all the time, look into Face Slim. I'm not sure if it's on the Play Store, I get it off F-Droid, a FOSS-only play store. "Tinfoil for Facebook" is almost exactly the same, but I kept having some issues uploading pics with it.

> XiiaLive Pro

I listen to a lot of internet radio streams (bassdrive.com, hardcoreradio.nl) because I like variety and hearing the newest tracks. Trying to find a good app for playing them is, the words of Donald Trump, a "disaster". Most have shitty interfaces made in 6 hours and pop up full screen ads every few minutes. Eventually I found XiiaLive. It has a beautiful UI, tons of options, easy station discovery.. You couldn't ask for more. I saved up for a few weeks so I could buy the Pro version.

> SmartNews

I spend about 4 hours a day in this app. It's the perfect news aggregator and reader. It displays article headlines from a variety of mostly top-notch sources, and then when you click one, it pops up a reader view ("Smart View") where you can strip all ads and unrelated content out so you are just reading the article text and maybe a couple related pics. Highly addictive (and recommended) if you like staying on top of current events. I wrote to them and they claimed they aren't doing user tracking of articles read. I think there might be a Japanese version too.

> Piktures

There are thousands of fucking pic gallery apps now. I didn't want to use Google's Photos, and the built-in Gallery was lacking in features. This one does a lot and aggregates things nicely.

> Progression

/fit/-approved exercise tracking app. It has a lot of exercise plans built in, and you can add your own routines. It syncs with Google Fit and Google Drive. I can't imagine lifting weights without it. Say you are doing planks. It has a timer that will buzz when you need to change positions.

> Pocket Casts

Best app for podcasts discovery and listening.

> SnapChat

A selfie-sharing app for teenagers valued at twenty billion US dollars. I desperately want to understand this, so I had a Millenial I know walk me through it. She demonstrated that you can take selfies, add some pretty cheesy overlays, and then force your friends to look at them, or just add them to your evaporating "Story", where no one except your stalker and BFF will look at them. I still don't get it. Like, I get that it would be fun to send goofy pics back and forth. For a few days.

> Instagram

Start with a picture of your dinner plate. Swipe right for artistic creativity. Add the face-meltingly banal "lol", "so cute!", "wish i was there!" youtube-tier comments and some cringey used-only-once-ever hashtags, and spray it all out a chaotic, yet conformative fire hose. This is social media? I can't distinguish ads from normie posts. If you like "creative" pictures of concrete walls, plates of food, legselfies, and your favorite celebrity with his arm around someone, this is for you.

But wait, there's more!

> Xposed Modules

> Identiconizer!
Been looking for something like this forever. It generates (once, and on-the-fly!) random bitmap icons for your contacts pictures. No more lame ass white silhouette for everyone you don't have a pic for.
> MinMinGuard
Blocks In-app ads. Like the ones that take up the lower half of the screen in games? Gives you back the space that was stolen. Made by some weeb.
> MoonPhase
Shows an image of the moon (full, half, etc) in your statusbar. See upper right of pic. It's a full moon (super moon!) tonight.
> Resolver Activity Prefs
Changes that "Open With?" dialog that is so annoying. I have it set to just always display a list of browsers, for instance. Instead of that "now and forever" option.
> XSSID Indicator
Displays the name of the current Wifi/Cell network in the statusbar. So fucking useful for making sure you are connected to wifi and not your mobile provider, using up data. See red redacted part of pic. I can't reveal my SSID or you might stalk me.
> SNAPPREFS
Defeats all stupid Snapchat restrictions related to picture saving. Autosave-on-view. You can add in custom filters too if you want.
> Youtube AdAway
Take a guess.

Apps I use regularly are:

Wunderlist: A good list making app. I use it for everyday things such as groceries but also as a tv and book checklist.

WhatsApp: Great for chatting with my family over seas.

Early: An alarm, that forces you to play a game to turn it off. The game are badly made but they do keep me awake.

I love Pacifica, it's for helping with anxiety and lets you track your mood and provides you a graph after long term use. Has loads of groups for chat about certain topics, related to anxiety or not, and provides meditation activities and a cool CBT based diary activity. I really love it like I recommend it to everyone.

Viber is my #1 chat app, I never text anyone.

SomToDo is my favourite to do list, nice and simple and lets you make categories.

Also my bf and I religiously used OurHome for chores and cleaning and set rewards and shit for cleaning.. it's addictive, probably mostly because all our "rewards" are dirty and because I got to choose a turtle avatar. The reminders are cute too.

DOWNLOAD THIS SHIT. Its an official google app, based on places you go and places you use your card it sends you small 2-3 question surveys to help improve google results. You get google play credit for answering the surveys. Its only 25-50 cents per survey but if you DONT LIE (because google knows if youre lying and will stop sending them) you canget a survey per day and it really adds up and you can use it to treat yourself to a paid app once a month without spending money.

The questions are usually just a list of stores, and it asks which you went to and what day. It'll then ask you to rate the experience at that store, or rate something else within the store. Ive also got questions about youtube videos ive watched like "which of the following ads do you remember seeing in the last 24 hours" tl;dr its official google surveys that get you small amounts of play store credit that really ads up for little effort

different flavors. strange journey's storyline is intensely brutal and the choices you get at the end are… let's just say nowhere near happy or rewarding. devil survivor is more light-hearted, 1 especially is almost like a half-step between persona and the hardcore brutality of some of the other mainline games.

OT from the mobile part of this thread, but if you have a computer that can run an emulator, get a PS2 emulator and you can play persona 3, 4, and SMT: nocturne to see what you like, roms are free online. vita emulator will let you do p3 portable too.

Would definitely recommend the last one if you’re a photo-anon. You create “stories” that are like flip books on your profile. Super cute app and actually focuses on interesting things like travel or creative work, unless you’re conceited enough to post a story full of selfies…

>Signal
I use this because I'm a paranoid fuck and I told all of my friends/family to get it and talk to me on there instead of on FB
>Messenger Lite
yes I know this is FB but I heavily restrict the permissions and I need it for group work in my courses
>IG
Again, I know. Again, permissions are heavily restricted. I don't post selfies, just pictures of cool stuff I see. I try to make it artsy.
>Snapseed
I use this to edit pics I've taken for IG
Other than that

This had me dying

My stupid phone has the smallest internal storage imaginable so I'm very limited and always have to delete stuff even after a root
>Chrome (had the best browsing experience with that one)
>IG (mainly to expand my observation of cows, send stuff back and forth with a friend to go through random profiles when I'm really really bored)
>whatsapp as main messenger (cause everyone has it but I hate it)
>telegram as second messenger (high privacy and a lot more features, unfortunately only bf uses it too)
>ebay (cause I'm a cheapskate)
>youtube (in combination with ps4)

Besides the basic apps (skype,discord,messenger etc), I play Love Nikki alot! It is sooo addicting. It's a dress up game where you battle other players in styling contests, there is a story mode, you can also have your own house, guilds, create and customize clothes. It's perfect.

I would love actually be good at creating giant elaborate coords for Love Nikki! Alas, I suck at it. I don’t even know how people are completing outfits, unless they’re purchasing them. Do you have any links to good guides?

i stopped playing once i found out that winning coords are just random shit. i wish it had more cohesion. i just want something like an online style savvy.

Yay Style Savvy! I love it but the most recent one isn’t as much fun. I hate that I don’t make money off of hair and makeup anymore.

Whaaat you can have a house now?? I bet it’s behind a paywall though. I haven’t played that game in almost 6 months, it got boring once I kept getting the same basic items as rewards for the battles.

best period app with the most features? would be nice if it was cute too but it doesn't have to be as long as it's good.

Nah you can get the house as a free player but the only way to truly refurbish its to pay

I'm looking for an app that helps you achieve certain goals. I wanna do so many things but am an unorganized mess. I tried habitica but it was a bit overwhelming. Something simpler would be great.

The house is free, some furniture costs diamonds, extra house levels cost diamonds too.
