My Top Phone App's

I was late in getting a smart phone. I bought an Iphone in August 2012 - until that time I had a motorola razr that was 4 years old.  I rarely remembered to charge it and often calls went unanswered. I really only carried it in case I had an emergency in the car.

Since getting my Iphone, however, I have become somewhat of a phone addict. I have no problems not checking it during dinner, or at movies etc. I am more than willing to play games with my kids, read with them and spend lots of time together.  However, when they are busy and I am not doing housework (that I should probably be doing) I am most likely on my phone.

It is so handy to be able to check my emails super quick, or see what is happening on facebook!

My top 5 apps are:

1) Facebook 
2) Candy Crush - check out my post The Secret To Candy Crush
3) ReeBee - I price match my groceries, and it is so nice to have access to flyers that we don't get delivered to our home
4) The Weather Network - so nice to be able to have a quick look at the weather forecast before heading to the bus stop in the morning!
5) Checkout 51 - a great little app that allows me to upload my receipt for rebates after shopping! In the year or so that I have been using it, I have earned back $87.00!

What about you? What are your favorite phone apps?

  1. I too adore my iPhone! I love FB too. I was a Candy crush addict for awhile, but I haven't been on it awhile. :) I think my most favorite app is Instagram. Adore it.

  2. I use an app in the UK that let's me know when the next bus is before I leave my house, especially good when freezing as no point leaving early if your waiting half an hour in the cold. I like using Instagram, flipagram & photo editing apps. Facebook, twitter & blogger to name a few lol! Coping with the big C - The Sits Comment Love Challenge

  3. I'm still holding out and don't have an iphone yet. I get by with my little cheap tracfone. I'm sure the day is coming though when I'll want to have an iphone like everybody else, and then I'll probably be hooked on it too!

  6. I'd have to say Instagram, FastShop, and Amazon.com are my favorite apps, ones I use every single day. You are so good with the couponing! I am horrible at it, maybe the apps you shared would help!

  7. I have an iPhone too. I love KeyRing which stores all of your rewards cards for stores in one place. I also love that my bank has an app and I can take photos of checks to deposit them instead of heading to the bank. Stopping by from SITS!

  10. These are some great apps! I recently blogged about one of my favorites, Bingo Bash. I was addicted to the Bubble Witch game for a while but had to give it up. I love Instagram, Pinterest, my local News app (for news and weather) and Over for quick photo editing on the go. #SITSblogging
