from the ask-hn dept.

I would like to know what are the apps you use most and what field of application do they cover (messaging, mail, social, ecc...)

HackerNews 2, is the only one aside from the default installs of Chrome, Google Play & Gmail. Browsing with music and an email client to email links and ideas to myself. I never find myself giving other apps more than 2 or 3 uses.

Would have been more fun to force one app per post. Not mentioned already: ProWeatherAlert, RadarScope, Kindle, Amazon, runkeeper (although a better name would be hike-keeper for me), dropbox, google drive.

If you have to be told what a kindle is (and its app), or what it does...
