I would like to know what are the apps you use most and what field of application do they cover (messaging, mail, social, ecc...)

I have an android device and these are the apps i use mainly: standard browser, gmail, hangout, calendar, online/offline navigators (Google Navigator and MapFactor Navigator), backpacking tracker (Orux maps), TripAdvisor, GoogleDrive, Torch, memo and diary, various AngryBirds editions and italian based weather app. No facebook account, twitter sometimes.

HackerNews 2, is the only one aside from the default installs of Chrome, Google Play & Gmail. Browsing with music and an email client to email links and ideas to myself. I never find myself giving other apps more than 2 or 3 uses.

Most used (Guilty Pleasure): Baconreader (reddit,news) Most utilized: Evernote (storage)

gmail, hangouts, spotify, randmon game of the month that I just discovered, RedReader (os reddit client), Twitch (live video streaming)

Mailbox, WhatsApp, NBA Game Time, Feedly, Spotify

iOS: Trello, Hackers (HN client), Heyday, Gmail, Chrome

Would have been more fun to force one app per post. Not mentioned already: ProWeatherAlert, RadarScope, Kindle, Amazon, runkeeper (although a better name would be hike-keeper for me), dropbox, google drive.

If you have to be told what a kindle is (and its app), or what it does...
