Essential apps can you not live without?

hey guys, 

 

A while back I started discussion on what apps people are currently using. It was interesting to see the wide variety of apps that the community find useful and the thread certainly brought a few apps to my attention that I would not have otherwise taken a look at. 

 

This got me thinking about which apps I use every day and which ones are essential to me getting through the day. If you had to chose 3 apps that would be the only apps you can use which ones would you pick and why? 

 

My choices would be...

 

Whatsapp - I use this to stay in touch with friends and family both at home and abroad. 

 

National Rail Journey planner - This is a must for getting to work on time as the frequent delays and cancellations mean re-planning my route at least a couple of time a month. 

 

YouTube - I use this app a lot for tutorials, music and general fun viewing and it would be difficult not to have access to this on a phone or tablet. 

 

So what about you? If you had to pick only 3 apps that you can use what would they be and why?

 

Also is there an app that you now use that replaced an app that did a similar job? If so what prompted you to change?

@Curr946 I've not tried unishare. It sounds really useful! Any bugs or issues with it or does it work well?

dji Go.
Without it the automation on my drone is non existent.
For point of interest shots, waypoints and vital information from my Phantoms health, this app is indispensable.

Is the app made for your specific drone @viridis, or a general drone app?

 

@Curr946, we used to google drive here at the office but are giving OneDrive a go from now on! Hopefully its a good system wink

I use OneDrive business and personal - like it as it is a lot better than Google to use - much easier for web access....
