    I am not a big fan of phones, in my android I only had like 3 or 4 apps and 2 of them where for Bianca.

    So, now that I have my iPhone 5, what APPs do I need... so far I downloaded.... are you ready?

    instagram
    dropbox
    snapseed
    a shopping list app (can't shop without anymore!!)
    whatsapp

    are must haves!

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE Evernote. I use it almost every day and for all sorts of stuff -- from keeping track of our Scrabble scores to jotting notes for my novel when I'm out and about, to writing down anything I need to remember and have access to later (notes about what the doctor or the vet tells me, phone numbers I want to remember, shopping lists, anything).

    I also really love Audible.com. I listen to audio books when I'm driving around in my car or grocery shopping, and I do that all on my iPhone now. Audible has an iPhone app that makes it really easy.

    Kindle Reader app for reading books. The quality of what I'm reading has gone way up since I started using it -- now when I'm waiting for my car to be fixed or at a doctor's appointment I read great books on my iphone or mini ipad instead of old magazines!

    Facebook Mobile app if you use Facebook.

    There's a Tapatalk app that will let you access and post on The Lilypad forums easily from your iPhone.

    I use Things as my To-Do list app and I love it, but it's pricey.

    I really like Snapseed for my iPhone photo editing. It's cool that you can do some really neat edits right in your phone.
    And then... it really depends on what you're into! There are apps for just about everything.


    Milo82 -- what shopping list app do you use? I could definitely use one of those.

    LabelBox - it lets you add fun paper / tape labels to your photos.

    Frametastic - lets you make a collage of your pics.

    Wonderful Days - lets you do a little journaling, add pics to your journal, and then sync with evernote or email yourself a PDF. Works nice for PL or photo-a-day projects to keep track of photos and notes.

    I have to say, I have never been into android, after I got so ill and had to stop working, the phone is purely to communicate with my daughter and texts with friends...but when Sarita got the iPhone 5 before Christmas (she saved the money and is paying for the bill herself) and I saw what they can do....I even started looking at the possibility of saving to get one myself....
    not an option at this time unfortunately...will ask her what apps she has,
    but I know of one, not sure if available outside the Uk but I absolutely LOVE it and if isn't available now, will, be soon for the world:
    is an up that is linked with main sites (like supermarkets and delicatessen stores) that do food or recipes....you go into a recipe you want to cook, and the app will make you the shopping list and even buy them for you....
    is great for me, I keep forgetting shopping lists!!!

    I use a lot of what's already mentioned, Instagram, FB, Kindle, ect.

    I hate the navigation that comes with the phone though and I use Waze for free turn by turn navigation.
