Home Button Double Tap - July 20th's Apps

Fridays are supposed to be fun, light, and airy. So in keeping with that theme, I thought I would double tap the home button on my iPhone and confess to the last 10 apps that I used.

This is similar to the "what's in your purse" game, I think. They say you can tell a lot about a woman (or person) by what she keeps in her purse. Can the same be said for the last 10 apps that a person uses? We'll see!

So I don't bore you, I did omit the normal phone, message, and mail apps. They're not really apps as much as phone functions, right?

1. Facebook - No reason to explain why this one's here. I do wish they'd spend some of their Gazillion dollars to improve on it, though.
2. CNN - Quick scan to see the headlines. This morning's scan was to find what happened overnight in Aurora, CO. Absolutely horrible. I immediately wished that I could remove it from my mind as well as history.
3. Weather Channel - Wondered what the weather was going to be over the next few days. Thanks to the brilliant meteorologists, I now know it's going to be hot, and partly sunny with a 50% chance of rain. Really? Who else wants to get paid that kind of money for being vague?
4. Nightstand - I trashed my alarm clock months ago in favor of this app. I even sprung for the $4.99 iPad app upgrade. It's AWESOME, and if you don't have it, you need to get it.  It has a sleep/lullaby station, customizable alarm tones (including music), and a whole host of other features.
5. Instagram - Been there since the beginning, and I'm not dumping it because Facebook bought it. Yet. Love seeing the pictures my friends come up with.
6. HootSuite - Between the Facebook app, HootSuite, and a couple others, I can pretty much run my business from anywhere.
7. Words with Friends - Need I say more? Except, don't get into a game with apparent word guru Mark Schaefer. He creams me every time. Okay, honestly, I stink at the game and get frustrated that “HARO” is not a word, but I try.
8. Camera+ - This is my favorite photo-editing tool on my phone—even over the photoshop app. I often edit my photos with this one before I upload to Instagram.
9. Mint - The best personal financial app out there IMHO. I like that I can always know what's due as well as edit entries while on the go.
10. Maps- Not my favorite GPS/map app (That's Waze as you know.), but it happened to be the one I hit yesterday while I was out.
