Hi Friends!
It’s been a while since I did a 30 for Thursday post, hasn’t it?! Today we’re focusing on iphone apps. There are obviously thousands of apps out there, but I thought I’d show you some of the ones I have on my phone. Some are free, some are not. All are awesome.
10 Apps I Use Every Day
1. Instagram – My current obsession
2. Diptic – Great app for making collages of pictures
3. Facebook – I think the app sucks but I still use it
4. FacebookPages – great for managing my blog’s fb page
5. Feedly – how I read blogs now that google reader is going away
6. Tweetbot – my fav Twitter app
7. Buffer – great way to schedule tweets
8. Wunderlist – my fav to-do list app
9. RunKeeper – I use it when I run and even when I’m just walking the dogs
10. Chrome – Currently obsessed with this. If you use chrome on your computer, you need this app. It synchs with your phone, you can access the bookmarks you have saved on the computer and tabs you have open on your computer on your phone, you can open multiple tabs and swipe between them…it’s awesome.
10 Photography Apps
1. Phonto – great for adding text to photos
2. Photosynth – takes panoramic photos
3. Colorsplash – make photos black and white and you can add color to certain parts
4. PopBooth – like a photo booth on your phone
5. LensLight – add pretty light effects to your pictures
6. Aviary – great for photo editing
7. Camera+ – great for photo editing (i use this one most often)
8. Snapseed – great for photo editing
9. Labelbox – add text to photos like a labelmaker
10. Fast Camera – takes a million pics really fast and lets you pick the ones you want to save. great for action shots/sports/etc
10 Other Apps
1. Hootsuite – makes it easy to manage multiple twitter streams/hashtags/etc
2. Flashlight – never know when you’ll need it
3. Pinterest – for your pinning pleasure
4. AppGratis – offers a free app every day. sometimes they suck, sometimes they’re awesome
5. Soundhound – helps you figure out what song is playing on the radio
6. WordPress – I use it sometimes to write a short and sweet blog post, approve comments or to make last minute edits to ones I’ve already written
7. Evernote – organize your life
8. Pandora – listen to music
9. Pocket – save articles/blog posts/news stories from websites, twitter etc…then read them later, even if you don’t have internet access
10. Dropbox – this is life changing if you want to be able to access your documents from anywhere
———————–
Obviously these are not the only apps I have on my phone…but they’re definitely some of the ones I use most often.
Let’s chat: What are some of your favorite apps? I’m always looking for new ones!
Enjoy!

This is such a great list! I’m honestly the worst with my apps. I have facebook, twitter, and instagram. That’s all. Kind of sad, but I just never know what to download and don’t want to feel overwhelmed! Thanks for this!
Lisa recently posted..What I Ate Wednesday
I’m in the same boat as you Lisa! I only had Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr. My phone is currently downloading at least half of these! Thanks Lindsay!
I just sat here with my phone downloading all the free apps you mentioned that I didn’t already have. I’m super excited about the App Gratis. That sounds so cool! The app I’m currently loving (it’s almost sad, really) is Follwers Plus. Basically, it tells you when someone either starts following you or stops following you on instagram. Kinda sad that I care that much, huh?

app gratis is a fun one. it’s a lot of junk apps but every once and a while there’s a real gem
I just added Feedly, too. So far, so good. And, my new obsession is Instagram! I’m not a huge social media person (facebook, twitter), but I’m liking Instagram.
I like my Walkie-Talkie app, that’s basically texting but via voice instead of typing.

instagram is the best!
Chrome seeks with your computers bookmarks?!
My life has been forever changed. I’m surprised I don’t have the app already I’m a pretty hardxcore chrome fanatic.
Erica { EricaDHouse.com } recently posted..Call for Sponsors
I love Nike Training Club! I use it all the time to mix up my workouts or when I’m on the road.
Pamela Hernandez recently posted..Jillian Michaels – Hard Body DVD Review
Fantastic list!
Madeline @ Food Fitness and Family recently posted..Operation R&R: Hilton Head
I love finding out the apps that people use! SO much fun!
Hahaha
Me too. I’m currently reading all these comments and downloading apps with phone at the same time.
Ja @Athlete Within Ja recently posted..Happy First Day of Spring!
“Phonto” and “Color splash” are quite intriguing. I may “back up” when I get home so I will have enough space for them. Thanks for the suggestions and informative post.
I have a lot of phone pet peeves, which is why I am seriously lacking in the “apps” department. However, I do really enjoy Map My Run ( which you can also use while walking, hiking, biking, or some other exercise modes). It provides live updates if you want them, which I especially like while biking.
Jeanie recently posted..a perfect end to a crazy day….
Great list! I have most of these, but I’m so impatient when it comes to pics that I rarely use any of the apps I have (except IG, of course).
I continue to love Sleep Cycle – it’s the only reason I make it out of bed in the morning. I’m also digging Full Fitness to track my gym progress and JustUnfollow to track Twitter and IG stats.
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table recently posted..A Death Race and a Birthday
LogYourRun is great. It lets you keep track of the mileage on your shoes–love that! A totally fun crazy one is Vid Rhythm. It’s free and I’m betting you and hubs would get a kick out of it. Gotta have my Words with Friends and 4 Pics 1 Word is a new fave. Shouout to a local fave kcradio.com. They have a great music mix. And they list the songs they play. I like that feature. Have a great day!!!!
Amy
def LOVE instagram and camera plus
Linz @ Itz Linz recently posted..Orangetheory Fitness
What a great list!! thanks for some new photo apps
I am OBESSED with Trulia right now since we are starting to look for houses.
Emily recently posted..Take Time Tuesday
Thanks! I love all those apps. I need to look into the Colorsplash app. Looks awesome! Some of my favs are:
Google Drive
Nike training Club
Nike Plus
UrbanSpoon
and a ton of mom and toddler apps.
Katie @momslrb recently posted..Maternity Wardrobe Must Haves
I kinda wish there was an app I could install that would filter out 60% of my texts since they’re from the wife… about baby diapers.
And app developers……. Go!
Mike @ Midwestern Bite recently posted..Wining And Dining Our Garden Seeds
Cool post! Thank you! I just downloaded WordPress and Pocket per your suggestion. You mentioned all my favorites, but another one I’ve been enjoying lately is Smiley Central. It’s not very user friendly, but the smileys will give you a laugh!
This is an AWESOME list! I use many of these already, but I’m currently downloading a bunch more per your reccomendation – pretty excited for Google Chrome!!
Kelly recently posted..Yarn Love: Gitana Hat Pattern
I love this! I should totally do a post similar to this to share my 30 top favorite apps! Some of my faves, though, are: Instagram, FB, FB Pages, Twitter for iPhone, RunKeeper, MyFitnessPal, PicFrame, soundcloud, spotify, vine, kindle.
Aparna B. recently posted..Lentil Chili
Thanks for reminding me about feedly–I need to get on that, sadly.
My fave app is instagram (duh)— but I also use the app typic to edit and write on pics
My favorite app is of course instagram
I just installed Buffer–I’m excited!
Alexis @ Hummusapien recently posted..Curried Quinoa Red Lentil Soup
IG, CameraProFx, InstaFonts, Electric Miles, Kindle, and Tabata Timer are some of my most used. Great list!
Angela @ Happy Fit Mama recently posted..Eats From the Week 3
Very helpful post! I am definitely adding a few of these. I totally use flashlight! I love my bank app as well, very helpful (Bank of America.) I’m also a frequent user of Shazaam still even though it’s kind of old school . Anotehr cool one is Cinemagrama and I’m obsessed with Uber! Also Kindle Reader and Park Mobile ( to pay for parking spots from your phone — no change needed!)
Ericka @ The Sweet Life recently posted..Why I’m Not Dieting For My Wedding Day
Wow!!! Thanks for sharing. I just downloaded some of the apps you listed. Some of them I didn’t know exist and I need them!
So excited! 
I have a few favorites:
Really helpful! 
* Gas Buddy – gas is expensive, need to know where I could find the cheapest one in the area.
* Voxer – like a chat but instead of text, you send voice messages… really cool especially if you want to connect with your family & friends from other countries for free!
* Pic Stitch – it’s a photo collage editor! I use this often for pics I want to post on Instagram.
Thanks again!!! I have now 9 new apps from your list! LOL!
Ja @Athlete Within Ja recently posted..Happy First Day of Spring!
Wait! That Chrome app sounds freaking amazing!! Although it might break my phone with the number of tabs that are typically open in my browser. haha. Thanks for sharing these!

Does the WordPress app work for self hosted? I stopped using it when I switched!

I know I’m going to sound archaic (perhaps crazy in this day and age) but I don’t have an iPhone and the phone I do have sees little use. I’m just not a phone person. Though, when I do use my phone I probably use the yelp app the most – it’s so helpful for finding good places to eat, shop, etc. when I’m out and about. My husband has an iPhone though, so I’ll have to pass this list along to him.
Ali @ WHOLEistically Fit recently posted..Cut Yourself Some Slack – Balance Is Unattainable
Oh wow. I love these. I have a good # that you list in the first top (I don’t have wunderlist but am checking it out now)…and had NO idea about any of those picture ones (I got my first iphone in the fall and am still getting acquainted with apps!)
Thanks for this awesome list =)

You know how I spend most of my day? Emoji 3D… Pretty much addicted, I’m so productive, yes?

I love my iPhone and am always excited to find new ways to utilize it.

Danica @ It’s Progression recently posted..Ellie (pv.body) Order #2
Thank! Totally just downloaded me some new apps
I love the PhotoMarkr app for the iPhone. It lets me add text to my photo right before I save it to Instagram or post it to twitter/fb. I’m obsessed with putting my copyright on my photos before they go online.
what a helpful post! I feel like there are so many apps that its hard to pick and choose. I spent the other day download SO many food apps that are helpful for patients too! Try Fooducate!
Those are not the only apps you have? Lol well you’re already way ahead of me cause all I have is two games :$
Picky Nicky recently posted..Lunch Time
Instagram (obsessed as well), Facebook, Pinterest, and Feeddler (which has worked well for me but I still might switch to Feedly) are what I use the most for sure! Have you ever heard of stumbleupon.com ? It’s a website and an app and it’s a great way to find cool articles/pictures on topics that interest you. You should check it out!
Thanks for sharing these great apps, Lindasy! I am going to test a few of them out once I get home from my shift at DISH. Diptic, Snapseed, and PopBooth sound interesting. While I’m here, I would like to tell you about my favorite travel app. It’s called DISH Anywhere; with it I can stream all of my live TV channels or DVR programs anywhere I can get a wireless connection. It is awesome because I can stay current with my favorite shows, even if I am in another country.
