<p>I suppose many of these are also available non-iphone - of the 10, which is most valuable to you??
<a href=“Best Free iPhone Apps: 10 Everyone Should Download | TIME”>Best Free iPhone Apps: 10 Everyone Should Download | TIME;

<p>Here the 10 for easy viewing:</p>

<p>Google Maps
The Weather Channel
Stitcher
Gas Buddy
Facebook
Google Now
Adidas miCoach
Yelp
Red Laser
Spotify</p>

<p>I have 6 of these currently. Most used: Spotify (LOVE). Least used: Weather Channel - prefer the stock “Weather” app that comes with the iphone. Most curious about: Adidas miCoach - has anyone used or how do you use it???</p>

<p>What’s your score/opinion/best-least favorite apps on the list???</p>

<p>I don’t know if it’s an app but I love the level the phone has. It’s so much easier to use than the bubble level. I am going around the house to fix all the pictures on the wall. No more guessing. I adjust them until green comes on the iPhone.</p>

<p>Is one of those 10 above a level app??? Hoping to keep the discussion to not just random apps, but at least the list above, recommendations for similar free apps - that kind of thing. :slight_smile: </p>

Many of the apps I use are local
Local news stations, public transportation, restaurants, hotels…or they have a token fee of $1 or $2.
All the hotel chains, airlines, banks, radio stations etc also have apps.
The above apps I use everyday & they are in addition to Apple apps like ibooks, podcasts, music, videos, camera, reminders etc.
Last but not least
Find Iphone!

<p>Right. Nice listing of apps!<br>
Apparently my “topic” message is not getting through!!!
Are you creating your own top 10 list???</p>

</p>

<p>Nope. I got it.</p>

<p>Will disagree with your preference of not including the Weather Channel app. I much prefer it to the weather app that comes standard on the phone. </p>

<p>Thanks Teriwtt! :slight_smile:
The Weather Channel app always seems to take so long to load - it’s better for the radar, but when I just want to know the current temp and what tomorrow is suppose to bring, the basic app is faster for me. Maybe I should give it a better “second chance”. </p>

<p>If I’m using the Weather Channel app, it’s almost always to look at the radar; yes, I much prefer its radar to the other app. In fact, I use the standard weather app so little, I wish I could delete it, but nope, can’t do it.</p>

<p>Other than gmail and google search, I dont use the google apps.
I dont like my data being mined.

I use facebook, but not really the weather channel or the others mentioned.
You should try Rainaware,
<a href=“The Minnesota Forecaster: Putting the Rain-Predicting Apps to the Test”>http://www.minnesotaforecaster.com/2012/05/putting-rain-predicting-apps-to-test.html&lt;/a&gt;
it tells you when it is going to rain in your zipcode & when it will stop.
Its VERY handy in Seattle!</p>

<p>For weather, I use AccuWeather both on my Ipad Touch and my Kindle Fire. (I stopped using the ITouch for most of that stuff once I got the Fire.) My level app is Handy Level, I like Gas Buddy a lot. Also have Yelp, Open Table, IMBD, Trip Advisor, and Southwest.</p>

11

<p>FYI, Apple’s weather app will be switching to the Weather Channel for its info.</p>

<p>To add to the list: </p>

<p>Duolingo
Google Chrome
Yahoo Sports
Shazam</p>

<p>That’s great! </p>

<p>I use The Weather Channel because Apple Weather always manage to fudge up the weather for the day and the temperature. Those are two things a weather app should NOT need up on. Even if they switch, I’m sure I’d still use The Weather Channel app. It has a better radar, better hourly weather updates, and more features. </p>

13

<p>Clock, Calendar, Google Map, Chrome, Yelp, and Skype are the most useful. I have a Samsung though.</p>

<p>Ipad doesnt have an Apple weather app, so I use The Weather Channel.
Ugh, didnt check weather forecast until I almost had heat stroke from working in yard. Too hot. But at least humidity is only 20%.</p>
