For me, iOS’s automatic offloading of apps seems to save me from having to do this, with the caveat that sometimes I try to access an app I haven’t touched in a while and have to wait to re-download in order to use.

I tried this, but the apps were big so it would churn. And the first time I arrived in a new country and didn’t have network and Apple had decided to offload Dropbox with my locally saved itinerary it really sucked.

I think that might with tons of apps that are rarely used. But it sucks if I have 10-20 apps that I frequently used.
