The apps I go to when I feel like watching something, listening to music or just browsing for a while
I use YouTube every day so having no ads makes a huge difference. I also use background play a lot when I’m doing other things on my phone, and YouTube Music is a nice bonus
YouTube Premium
I like YouTube Music because it feels more focused on music than regular YouTube. I can easily find songs, playlists, live versions, and music videos all in one place, without getting distracted by everything else on YouTube

Spotify is where I listen to music and podcasts, whether I’m at home, working or just relaxing. I like being able to make my own playlists and discover new songs based on what I already listen to

Tapatalk is useful for keeping up with forums and communities in one place. I use it to follow discussions, read posts and keep track of topics I’m interested in without having to open each forum separately

I use it to rent or buy movies when something I want to watch isn’t available on my usual streaming apps. Google TV makes it easy to find a specific movie, check where it’s available and watch it without needing another streaming subscription

The apps I use to control my smart home devices and make everyday things around the house a little easier

LG ThinQ makes it easy to control my LG appliances from my phone. I mainly use it with my washing machine to check the cycle and get a notification when the laundry is done. Simple, but genuinely useful

Everyday app
Apps I use for everyday things, from ordering food and checking deals to finding things I like and keeping up with my shopping
I use Benable to organize and share the things I genuinely like, from products and beauty to travel places. I really like being able to put everything into lists instead of having my recommendations scattered everywhere

SuperCards keeps all my loyalty and discount cards in one place so I don’t have to carry a wallet full of plastic cards. It’s really handy when I’m shopping because I can quickly find the card I need at the checkout

I use Google Lens whenever I see something I like but have no idea what it’s called or where to find it. I just take a photo and it usually helps me find the exact product or something similar. I’ve used it so many times for clothes, beauty products ...

Weather
The apps I check when I want to know what the weather is doing, especially when I need to keep an eye on the rain

I keep Rain Alarm for those days when I really need to know if rain is about to start. I like getting an alert when rain is approaching, especially before going out, and the radar map makes it easy to see what’s coming

I used Facebook much more in the past. I still use it today, just a lot less. I mostly check it for friends, family, groups, local events...

Pinterest is where I go when I need inspiration for beauty, fashion, home decor, recipes or travel. I like saving ideas to different boards so I can easily find them again when I need them

I mostly use Instagram to keep up with my friends and watch Reels. I like that there’s always something funny, interesting or completely random to watch when I have a few minutes to spare

Messaging and communication
The apps I use to keep in touch with family, friends and everyone else I need to reach during the day
Viber is still one of the apps I use for everyday messaging and calls. I mostly use it to stay in touch with family and friends and I like having chats, calls and group conversations all in one place

I use WhatsApp, but not very often. I mostly use it when I need to message or call someone who prefers WhatsApp, especially for group chats and sharing photos

Messenger is really convenient for quick messages, calls, especially since I already have most of my Facebook contacts there. I like how easy it is to send photos, files and voice messages
