The apps that I use on a regular basis:
1.) Google Maps
2.) Waze - this tells me about road problems before I get on the road.
3.) Gas Buddy - tells me where the least expensive gas is. So if I am on the road I can find my favorite places.
4.) Choice Hotels - because I love to go on road trips
5.) Joann's - so I forget my coupons or want to add to my coupons they accept the ones on my phone
6.) Quilt Shops - helps to find quilt shops while traveling.
7.) Instagram
8.) Amazon
9.) ESPN Sportscenter
10.) American Express
11.) Paypal
12.) Gmail
13.) AMC - never know when you want to see a movie
14.) Shazam - you need to identify that song on the radio
15.) Grocery List - now my list for various stores are with me all the time
16.) Flashlight - that comes in handy all the time
17.) Starbucks - I don't go very often but it is nice to be able to put the cards on it and not worry about losing them.
18.) I Heart Radio
19.) ESPN Radio
20.) Pandora
21.) Groupon
22.) Minion Rush (my current addiction)
23.) Scrabble
24.) Disney Parks
25.) Mouse Wait

Wow - I have a lot more than I realized.

I've only got a couple because I don't think I'll stay with the Iphone when my contract is up, I think I'll go with samsung.
So I've got the Fitbit app and LunaSolaria.
I use the weather app that came on the phone, Have the hometown of everyone I care about programmed in. I love taking a quick check of their weather experience for the day.

I still have trouble trying to read missed messages and/or deleting them. Guess I'm a confirmed Luddite

How do you deposit checks without going to the bank? That would really be a time saver.

I don't even have a cell phone. One of my pet peeves is to see have people in the stores in line talking on a phone while unloading their carts. What can be so important?

Short note to let you know that you are not the only one. The only reason I got one was my husband was ill at the time and I got one in case of an emergency. He died two years ago and like I said earlier, the only time I have it (but don't use it) is if I am on a trip (longest being 101 miles from home). I also had said, if God wanted us to walk around with a phone up to our ear, He would have put one there in the first place. I think they are rude, dangerous for sure, unnecessary - you cannot put a child or teenager up to a keyboard and have them type the way we can type. I still try for 80 words per minute. And I'm 76. I use all ten fingers too. Might hurt from arthritis, but I use all ten fingers. And I can spell. Words!!!! not antonyms. What is worse than customers unloading carts is people waiting on you and they are on the cellphone. I have mentioned that several times. Mainly in a service station (filling station to us oldies). Impolite, another word of description. Enough, I have to tie a quilt and make me some breakfast and let the dog out and take the cover off the birds.

Have a good day. Edie

Some banks have an app where you can take a picture of the front and back of the check and then click the option to deposit it. You keep the physical copy of the check. I use it for my rental property as my tenants send their rent in check form.

I use my banking app not only for depositing checks but also for checking balances, transferring money between accounts.

As far as other apps go I use calendar as my main planner, notes to jot things down and make lists, gmail to check my e-mail, facebook, weather, podcasts because I listen to them when I go for walks, yp (yellow pages) to look up what businesses are in the area (where's the nearest gas station, restaurant etc), mapquest (for directions), find friends (to see where family is), RunKeeper (tracks distance and time for running or walking), ecobee (can program my thermostat when I'm not home), Elevation (gives the altitude which I use when traveling in the mountains just for fun), JoAnn's (but I've found their app coupons aren't as good as the paper ones any more - very few 40% off), utilities app that comes with the iPhone (for calculator and alarm clock). I'm sure there's others that I'm not thinking of. Occasionally I even use my phone to make or receive a phone call!

I love to go to the movies so I use Flixster and RunPee all the time. I like Google Maps and Waze, especially when I travel. But my absolute favorite that I could not live without is called Key Ring Reward Cards by Mobestream Media. It is an app for all those reward cards that you have for all those stores you shop at. I have put my library card on it, my YWCA card, even copies of my insurance cards. I love not having to keep up with all those cards anymore. Then there is the Robert Kaufman quilting calculator app, Shazam, and ShopSavy.

I'm curious about what security measures any of you use for your cell phones.
