I run the risk of being called a phone addict (which my husband already does), but I just can’t help it. With so many awesome apps at my disposal, how can I not take advantage of them 😉 I love finding new apps, trying them out and then uninstall them if I don’t like them within 2-3 minutes of use. Life’s too short for crappy apps.
So here’s a list of android apps that I use in my everyday life.
Inspiration
(Instagram and Pinterest)
Be it fitness, beauty, art, lifestyle – Instagram and Pinterest are my favourite apps to find new ideas. This is a medium that shows me what our bodies our capable of, it shows me a world that I would love to explore one day, how art can improve if practiced every day and if I can’t figure out how to style a black skirt, all I have to do is look up Pinterest … this is a medium that has helped me set personal goals and keeps me upbeat to complete them as well.

Checking out Art Transformation is my new favourite time pass 😉
I found this amazing beauty who made me look at long hair in whole different light 😀 Now I am really really serious about taking care of my hair 🙂
Photo Editing
(Prisma, Z Galley, Layout)
Since I need to take a whole bunch of pictures for my blogs and Instagram, I need photo editing apps on the go.
Prisma – I use Prisma filters for those pictures which are bit shaky or has too much noise. Plus some of the finished pictures look very artistic with all the extra colors.
Z Camera and Layout (for Instagram) are two new apps I installed to compose and make collages, specially my Yoga photos.
Tracking
(ColorNote, Journey, Calendar)
ColorNote – From writing down grocery list to typing blog posts while commuting in train, ColorNote is an easy no-fuss app for times when you want to quickly write down something.
Journey – I treat it as an online gratitude journal, where I write all the good things that has happened to me 😊 In a world filled with so much negativity and stress, we often tend to ignore the positive things that happen in our lives. Journey allows you to save photos along with a note.
My Calendar – This app has a very cute interface and I use it to track my health – Period dates, Acne, headaches etc etc.
Social
(Facebook, Twitter)
Do I need to say anything more 🙂 I mostly use these two apps for blogging – to share my blog link, find other bloggers and socialize with them. I love the blogging communities that I am a part of and cannot thank them enough for all the love and encouragement I have received. Write Tribe, BlogChatter and Blog-a-rhythm: these incredibly supportive and positive bunch of souls are the wind beneath my blog’s wings 🙂
Reading
(StumbleUpon, Kindle)
StumbleUpon – I love the randomness of StumbleUpon, the articles that come up at the click of a button ranges from weird to absolutely brilliantly.
Kindle – I am pretty sure all the book lovers will have this app installed on their phones for reading e-books.

Apart from them, I use Buffer to schedule to my tweets, ThinkDirty to find how toxic a product is, FitnessPal as a food diary and TripPlanner to check Sydney public transport timings.
I am currently looking for some great video editing tools, please recommend few in the comment section 😇
What a treat this list is, Raj! I am a phone and app addict too!:)
I’m going to download your photo apps, i love the look you give your yoga pics:)
I always takeaway something from your blog each time I visit:) Thank you:)
Lots of apps there! I have an Apple and while I guess some of these apps would be available on that too, I haven’t accessed them all. I do use My Fitness Pal and for transport by the way, I also find Next There are a good app — tells you where the bus/train is at as well.
Nicely done with the blog by the way. I’m super impressed you’ve done this all on your own. Migration is a nightmare. I also like the URL.
Thats so many apps to use! I guess I am not a phone addict then 🙂 I hardly use any apps, except for Lumosity and Notes and reminders 😀
I haven't heard of few apps at all 🙄
Recently joined Instagram and living it! Is colornote similar to Evernote? I use that for lists and blog plotting.
Tracking i something from this list i haven't tries out. Downloading it…..
I use some of these but I am trying to limit my usage and spend more time in the real world. Thanks for sharing.
You sure use too many apps! 😛
I used Evernote or mostly Notes in my phone for penning something. But hey, I learned a lot about so many apps!
Thanks for sharing 🙂
Cheers

I use most of these and love few more for shopping like Amazon and flipkart too.
