What are your favourite and most used Apps?

    And if you had to have only one app installed on your phone for a year, which one would it be?

    Also, what in your opinion is the best Irish App?


    I'd go for TuneIn Radio Pro overall as it's the app I use it the most.

    I rarely if ever listen to downloaded music on a phone, much prefer radio stations. There's stations dedicated to almost every genre of music and so I'd rather just listen to one of them instead. Plus Timeform radio is on it and so free Horse racing commentary as and when I need it also. Love listening to different talk radio stations when I'm on public transport and the like also so it would have to be that one for me. Can also schedule recordings which I use way more than I thought I would.

    For best Irish app, I'd go for Cabbage Lite (developed by a Boardsie I think I recall?). As I pay €15 to Tesco for the unlimited calls but it only includes free web texts, knowing you'd have to then use some of the €15 for texting and having Cabbage means I can use that €15 for data Add-ons instead.

    Yourselves?

    A web browser, since most "apps" are simply glorified websites.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,655 ✭✭✭✭Tokyo


    Safari.

    Do phone/text functions count as apps now? If so, one of them (not such a smartphone now are you?), otherwise a browser.

    Not for the purposes of this thread, no - but technically I guess even the dialer is an app too.


    An app I would like is one that would allow you to play a file (video or audio) to a caller when you're on the phone to them.

    I would have thought by now that there would be an app for placing someone on hold even and when that's done they hear whichever audio file that you select but can't seem to find such an app.

    Would pay a few euro for the app to and would imagine many would and so there's bucks to be made for someone that comes up with a decent app like that.

    My apologies BrokenHero, I nearly have my reply written out to your post, something just came up. Back in a tick

    UB Reader. All the books I could ever want or need.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,247 ✭✭✭✭BoJack Horseman


    - TuneIn
    - 'Beyond Pod' is a terrific podcast app
    - Netflix (via Chromecast)
    - Grinder, as mentioned, best for anonymous gay sex.

    It allows me to make all sorts of changes on the phone, like sounds and stuff.
    And it's free!

    Hailo and Dropbox are probably the most useful apps I have.
