What are your top 5 most frequently used apps on your phone?

9 pointsby avni000over 10 years ago
I came across an interesting article about how to better understand how much users are using your app (http:&#x2F;&#x2F;recode.net&#x2F;2015&#x2F;01&#x2F;13&#x2F;theres-an-app-for-that-but-how-much-are-you-actually-using-it&#x2F;) but wanted to see what types of apps are getting daily usage from people.<p>Mine are: Gmail, Day One, Twitter, Starbucks and Dropcam.

Opera Mini, Modest (email client), Vim, SSH, QCPUFreq<p>Odd list, perhaps. Still ploughing away with the N900, overclocking it on every reboot. Notes with Vim are synced to laptop and raspberry pi via Syncthing.<p>Websites for everything else. Trying to move off Gmail (already have for work, self-hosting now, was sending as my personal domain for years via Gmail&#x2F;Apps) and the Google ecosystem. Already out of Facebook for a good while now. Still tweeting, but only work-related. Would like to play with Slack, but an N900 client is probably not in the works :)<p>Side-note, while explaining, I&#x27;m holding out for a decent (open, free) alternative to Maemo. That looks to me like Ubuntu Touch&#x2F;Phone, especially with their convergence plans, but the dust might need to settle on that first. None of the Jolla&#x2F;Sailfish&#x2F;Firefox offers look quite like what I&#x27;m after yet, for various reasons. A nice polished Ubuntu phone would bring me up to date and out of the 5 years-ago past.<p>If that all comes to pass then the top-5 apps list might look something like:<p>Firefox&#x2F;Iceweasel, email client, translation tools, Vim, SSH

Well 5 is a bit boring, no? For me at least that would be filled with mail, browser, whatsapp, public transportation app and runtastic. Beyond that: moon Reader, pocket, pocket casts, calculator++, Wikipedia

I&#x27;m surprised some form of browser isn&#x27;t in the top 5 of <i>everyone&#x27;s</i> lists.<p>Gmail, Hangouts (Android L SMS integration), Chrome, Sleep Better, reddit is fun.

Coincidentally, an app may have some answers for you: <a href="http://homescreen.is/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;homescreen.is&#x2F;</a>
