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.
These are good apps. I use many of them, will try the photo apps and journey too. Have never tried StumbleUpon but will do. Thanks for sharing these, your photos are always awesome.
I'll just stick on to Kindle for now. Trying my best to stay off social media.
I am an app addict too. I have many apps on the phone..google apps, Insta, Pinterest, FB, Twitter, Some media players, wattpad, goodreads, WordPress, Wynk music player,and many more.
Oh my. I'm not so much of an app person just use some of the basic ones. But will look up the iOS equivalent of these apps.
My goodness I just realised I am an android phone minimalist. And I thought I was over-dependent on the phone! I really must look up some of those.
I use kindle, my calendar, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest apps. Uninstalled Facebook a while ago. My go to app for note taking is google keep. I have a few games installed and of course gmail, YouTube, etc and can't forget beloved Netflix. I will check out the apps you have mentioned here, Raj. 🙂
I use mainly social media applications, and an app called Gas Buddy (not sure if it is available outside the United States); which gives you gasoline prices all over the country. That is so valuable when you travel, as is an app called Trip Advisor.
Those are some cool one. Glad you shared. I use a few but your list is way far ahead. 🙂
Wow! I am not much of a phone person but yes l do use FB and Twitter apps, WP, my bank apps and others. But don't spend too much time on phone.
I love that these are android apps, Raji! So generous of you to share. I'm fast becoming an app addict too! 😉
