5 points by hashtag on Jan 24, 2015 | hide | past | favorite | 7 comments
Please do not include default apps that came with your phone.

Please do not include apps that merely replaces the default (for example: Gmail app in place of Mail or Chrome in place of Safari)

Please do not list which app you like the most but which one you use the most.

Please list only one app.

I want to see what everyone's top usage patterns would look like. Thanks.



Ruter

It's the app for checking bus/boat/subway/tram timetables for Oslo (where I live in Norway).

It shows the next arrival/departures for the stops close to me.

It let's you specify two locations, and tells you how to travel between them.

And it has a favourites, so that you can quickly check if you need to run to catch the next bus to work.


Valuta+ - Currency Converter for iOS. I'm living abroad and traveling a lot, so it's important for me to keep track on the exchange rates when being offline. It's very minimalistic and simple to use.


Probably 'Readit' for Windows Phone 8.1 It's a Reddit client.


Mailbox

I like how easy it is to manage my email by archiving it or snoozing until later. This keeps email out of my way during the day because it only alerts me when I tell it to.


Pocket for android.

Although I am in a 'policy of less mobile use'.


Emacs.


zsh.
