What are your top 5 most frequently used apps on your phone?
I came across an interesting article about how to better understand how much users are using your app (http://recode.net/2015/01/13/theres-an-app-for-that-but-how-much-are-you-actually-using-it/) but wanted to see what types of apps are getting daily usage from people.
Mine are: Gmail, Day One, Twitter, Starbucks and Dropcam. Opera Mini, Modest (email client), Vim, SSH, QCPUFreq Odd list, perhaps. Still ploughing away with the N900, overclocking it on every reboot. Notes with Vim are synced to laptop and raspberry pi via Syncthing. Websites for everything else. Trying to move off Gmail (already have for work, self-hosting now, was sending as my personal domain for years via Gmail/Apps) and the Google ecosystem. Already out of Facebook for a good while now. Still tweeting, but only work-related. Would like to play with Slack, but an N900 client is probably not in the works :) Side-note, while explaining, I'm holding out for a decent (open, free) alternative to Maemo. That looks to me like Ubuntu Touch/Phone, especially with their convergence plans, but the dust might need to settle on that first. None of the Jolla/Sailfish/Firefox offers look quite like what I'm after yet, for various reasons. A nice polished Ubuntu phone would bring me up to date and out of the 5 years-ago past. If that all comes to pass then the top-5 apps list might look something like: Firefox/Iceweasel, email client, translation tools, Vim, SSH Well 5 is a bit boring, no? For me at least that would be filled with mail, browser, whatsapp, public transportation app and runtastic.
Beyond that: moon Reader, pocket, pocket casts, calculator++, Wikipedia I'm surprised some form of browser isn't in the top 5 of everyone's lists. Gmail, Hangouts (Android L SMS integration), Chrome, Sleep Better, reddit is fun. K-9 Mail, Telegram, Google Calendar, BlinkFeed, Firefox Coincidentally, an app may have some answers for you: http://homescreen.is/ Thanks for sharing - should have known there was an app for that. Mailbox, Chrome, Weather, Nike Running, and Network (a podcasting app) in that order. Facebook, GMail, 9gag, Reddit, Chrome Reddit Sync, Pocket Casts, Pushbullet, Fitnotes (frequent gymgoer) and Headspace Not including pre-installed: Twitter, Facebook, BBC News, HipChat and WhatsApp Safari, Spotify, Messages, Twitter(?), The game that I am playing that week(?) Messages, Safari, Mail, Tweetbot, ESPN SportsCenter Safari, Pythonista, Mail, Editorial, WolframAlpha Gmail, Reddit in motion, CBC News, Flipboard, GasBuddy Facebook, Evernote, Twitter, in that order. Gmail, IHeartRadio, Instagram, White Noise Gmail, Facebook, Chrome, Hangouts, Clock Gmail, Slack, Drive, Audible, and Twitch.tv Wow did not expect to see Starbucks in anyones list. What can I say - I need coffee and their mobile payments app is handy. Probably something like:
(Facebook) Messenger
Tweetbot
Chrome
Overcast
Instagram
