I am super excited about sharing this feature with you. In October I made a Top Ten Halloween List and my son loved it so much he suggested I do it all the time. So I couldn’t say no to such a great idea from my super smart 10 year old. So here it is, each month or a few times a month I will give you a list of Top Ten things from books to movies to everything in between. I hope you will enjoy My Top Ten.
My Top Ten Apps I CANNOT live without!
Phones, iPads, Tablets we all have something that holds our favorite apps, ones that we cannot live without. So I thought I would share with you my Top ten apps on my ipad and iphone that I cannot live without. Now I skipped Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and a few others that I am pretty sure most of us use and would consider out favorites, however, I did keep one or two because I honestly cannot live without them.
10. Numbers: I have numbers on my Laptop and honestly I wasn’t sure about using it but I am a sucker for lists (obviously) and also spreadsheets 🙂 I just recently made a spreadsheet for my ARC books and WOW I have no idea why I never started it sooner. This programs clouds to all my devices so it’s awesome that I can add from wherever I am and it’s very similar to excel and will even save in excel format. Never thought I would say I can’t live without Numbers
9. Plant Nanny: Do you drink enough water? Because I don’t, I use to drink a lot of water but now I seem to sometimes even forget to drink something. So Plant Nanny reminds me to stay hydrated and with each glass I drink I feed my little plant. As I feed it each day, after so many glasses, it will grow. It’s really cute and since I have gotten the app I have really been drinking a lot more water.
8. My Fitness Pal: I am not going to lie, I have flaked on this one the last few weeks but I LOVE this app. It really keeps me going and reminds me to track what I eat and drink plus the exercise I do (if I do any). I have noticed a huge difference when I am not using it and have started to use it again to help myself get in shape. This is a great app and I love how you can create recipes so you can track what you make at home. Extremely helpful for anyone looking to lose a few pounds like myself.
7. Instagram: Yes this is an obvious one, but I really do love looking at pictures and seeing all the great places people go and things happening during their days. I even love the animal pictures. It does tend to be buggy but I find myself scrolling through instragram a good 4 to 5 times a day. My iPad doesn’t have instagram so I use Padgram, you can’t take pictures with it but it’s linked to your account so you can see pictures from your friends on your instagram account.
6. Kindle: Is anyone really surprised?
5. Weather Apps: I’m cheating 🙂 I am a weather nut. I have 6 apps on my iPad for the weather. Not all cheap free ones either, I have a strange fascination with weather and love maps, charts, highs and low, snow and thunderstorms. I use a few apps on both my iPad and iPhone
That’s just a few I have found so far but I am always looking for new apps to help me track the weather like a crazy creepy weather stalker.
4. CalenMob: It’s google calendar on my iPad and I LOVE it. I use it to keep track of all my blog posts and a bunch of other stuff. I have colored labels for everything, it also links to my google calendar and the one I have on my iPhone. It can be a bit buggy at times and a little frustrating but I am not sure what I would do without it.
3. Goodreads: Are we surprised? I honestly use the app more than the website. I only really use the website to organize and explore other stuff. I love the app for quick updates and my FAVORITE when I go to a book store I can scan books to have them added to my TBR List. This is honestly one of my favorite and one I have a hard time living without.
2. Dragonvale: I have reviewed this game already, you can find it HERE but I just needed to express how I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT THIS APP! I love all my dragons and I play this everyday. It’s my favorite game and if I ever lost it I would cry…FOREVER! Check out my review for an extensive look at the Best GAME EVER!
1. Pages: I love this app, I write all my reviews, posts, book outlines, letters, etc….. This is pretty much the Microsoft Word for the Mac and I can’t live without it. I have it on my Computer and iPad so all my stuff is clouded. If I don’t feel like working on my laptop and want to just make a rough of something this is perfect. While I read I leave the iPad open and jot down notes as I read for review books. I love this app, if it wasn’t $9.99 I would get it for my iPhone also but maybe after I upgrade I will think about it but this my friends is my favorite app 🙂 I love simple!
Thanks for stopping by to check out my Top Ten!
I hope you have an amazing day!
Happy Reading
Apps are such a big part of daily life now! It’s crazy how often we use them! There’s a couple on your list that would make mine as well (Goodreads and Kindle…obviously! Instagram as well probably) but I do actually have 6 different apps for books. Wow, not addicted or anything! My email app and whatsapp also take a bit of a bashing!
Er… no, sorry, I have no device for apps. I even have to tweet from my computer. 🙁 Too bad, because some of those look good.
I also have MyFitnessPal but sometimes I forget to track the food. But it is a great app because it syncs with your Fitbit and other exercise apps. I used to be addicted to Dragonvale! I stopped but I still have it. I don’t want to delete it since I played it everyday and don’t want to lose anything!
I like the idea of PlantNanny but since I don’t take my iPad with me it wouldn’t do much good throughout the day. (I don’t have a cell.) I used to have a bunch of weather apps but I deleted a few of them because my iPad storage was full. It turned out to be Tumblr’s fault but I haven’t reloaded everything I deleted.
I’ll have to look into Pages. It might help me write reviews faster if I had notes.
I’m downloading the plant nanny. I’m always complaining how I should drink more water.
Plant Nanny sounds *so* cute! Recently, I’ve started using excel to categorize all my books as well so I know what yah mean about not being able to live without Numbers. It’s so handy!
I haven’t heard of a lot of these apps, but I’m not a big app user. I have my main apps of social media and music and that’s all I use. I always forget how diverse apps are and all that they offer.
I like the weather stuff too, I’ll have to check out a few of those. And dragonvale- thank you for the reminder! I remember your post, and I think I may go check that out .My kids will love it!
I have the goodreads app on my phone but I prefer the website, which I use on my Kindle Fire and laptop. I might check out the plant app as I drink a lot of water or I think I do. It would be interesting to see if I drink as much as I think I do. Good post. 🙂
I really don’t drink enough but since starting the app I have been drinking a lot more and pee like a pregnant woman lol. Didn’t realize I wasn’t drinking enough. It’s super cute and I love the little plants.
Some of these I have heard of but others I haven’t. It’s your fault I have Dragonvale on my kindle!!! I am always trying to make dragons but some of them are very ugly..lol. I refuse to spend money on it so I don’t get the cool dragons but it’s still fun. 🙂
I have a bunch of cool ones and never spent a dime 🙂 I breed like crazy. I have three going at the moment. Did you connect it to Facebook? Your not on my friend list. I send gems to my friends 🙂
What is this numbers and why haven’t I heard of this before?? Adding it to my phone now. I’ll have to look fro dragonvale as well. I need some fun new games. Plant nanny looks pretty awesome too! Great list!
Numbers is like excel for the Mac! Great program. Dragonvale is awesome and very addicting
DRAGONVALE!!! I’m pretty sure that was the first app I downloaded when I got my new phone in September. LoL
I have GR and Kindle on it, too, but I never use them. I have them just in case. I prefer using GR on the computer and my Kindle instead of Kindle app. 😛
I LOVE Dragonvale and I visit you often lol It’s just such a fun game 🙂
I use my Kindle app if I am out since I don’t take my kindle and I can read wherever I use my kindle when I am home.
Oh is Plant Nanny a free app? I might have to check it out, I am pretty sure I drink enough, but it would be fun to grow the plant and know for sure.
I also have the kindle app on my ipad and recently even started reading books on it. Beside that I have wordfeud a game I play with my mom. And App van de Dag, it features a new free app every day. I also have a few free weather apps to check the weather, one for the exact temperature and to see where the rain clouds are.
Great idea for a feature and I am looking for more top tens list!
Yes Plant Nanny is free and the little plants are really cute.
I love my kindle app, I have it everywhere 🙂 More during the summer I use my weather app because I LOVE a good Thunderstorm.
I am not a Mac person (or iPhone) but some of these I have on my Android 🙂
I would think most of them are, or would hope except maybe pages and numbers. I’m just a uber Mac girl and that’s all I have 🙂
I knew about most these – I still have to laugh at your weather fascination, because I’m the opposite. Sometimes I’ll walk outside dressed for a sunny warm day only to find it pouring, that’s how oblivious I am to the weather. LOL!
I’m on fitness pal too – you should friend me. My name is Berls I think.
I will have to look for you, it’s a great app and great for counting calories. My husband thinks I’m nuts about the weather, I can watch patterns form all day 🙂
