The 5 Apps I Can’t Live Without
I always love starting this conversation, mostly due to the fact that the discussion always leads me to finding even more interesting apps for my devices. We can't deny that apps have changed our lives and things can only get better. So let's get going.
CloudMagic
Unfortunately my life revolves around email. For years I've been looking for a decent replacement for the iOS default and I've finally found it in CloudMagic. It's just so simplistic and easy to use but the killer is the fact that you can link it to other apps like Evernote and most importantly for me ToDoist which means that I can add emails to my todo list which means that that I clear my inbox but know what I need to do on a day to day basis. It's free but with some premium features which you can fork out for should you wish.
OneNote
Yes ladies and gents a Microsoft app. My life spans iOS, OS X, Windows and Windows Phone and I'm always taking notes and OneNote ticks all of the boxes for me. Obviously as a Windows user OneNote is the go to notes app, I have been an Evernote user in the past but Microsoft have really stepped up the the plate with making sure that its a seamless experience across all devices.
Twitch
I'm a huge gamer and when I'm not playing games I love watching people playing them and there is only one place to do this. With the Twitch app for iOS you can dip into and subscribe to live feeds whenever you want. For someone who's job involves a lot of waiting around as things load and install this is a must for me.
FieldRunners 2
The world of the defence games is totally addictive for me. I did buy and play the first FieldRunners app but its sequel FieldRunners 2 was a revelation. If you're not sure what it's all about it's basically laying down defences in the form of guns, cannons and even weapons that turn people into sheep and stopping the oncoming army from making it to their destination. I can't tell you how many hours of my life I've lost to this awesome game.
Geocaching Intro
You can't beat walking around the countryside looking for tiny boxes filled with logbooks and treats. Geocaching tells you about all of the little gems that are in your local vicinity and how to find them using GPS coordinates. It tells you how far you are away from a geocache which can be as small as a bullet or as large as a treasure chest. The app is free but there is a premium subscription but I find that the free version is actually more fun than the paid.
So how about you? What are you 5 fave apps. Please comment below. Would love to hear from you.
