Hi Donna, Sounds like you live in an amazing location, reminds me of a small town called Wanaka, Lake, mountains and beautiful countryside and sceenary
Like you I don't have takeaway apps on my phone as we don't really have a lot of takeaways like the USA, But pizza is only a phone call away if cooking is out of order for the day. I really don't use a lot other than what is on my phone, Audible kindle Mostly iBooks for my e-books and audio books, IOS mail, outlook, Gmail app, google earth, google maps, apple maps KNFB reader, apple store app, airport utility, Word, powerpoint excel, Pages numbers and keynote, PPT and keynote I don't use a lot of Notes, Chrome, firefox, zoom chat client, skype, Navagone both new zeland and austrailia, Tomtom, one note, remote for itunes and still trying to get it to work for apple tv.

I have to say I'm sooooooooooo jealous of all of you who can use your phone to order take-out! The great thing about where I live is that I'm on a lake and surrounded by woods. The bad thing is that you can't get take-out here. :( I can't tell you how much I miss the good old days of being able to order out pizza, Chinese food, or Thai food. *sigh* So how do I use my phone? I'm probably one of the more frivolous ones in the group. I do have Voice Dream Reader, but like Sabahattin did, I'm thinking about uninstalling it, b/c I don't use it that much. I have the KNFB reader. I don't use it often, but do find it handy to have on my phone. Also have LookTell Money Reader and Tap Tap See. For navigation I use Blind-Square with Apple Maps. I have Apple Remote, but have never really used it, not sure why. By way of communication/social media apps, I have Facebook, Twitter, Skype, and What's App. I mostly use the latter to communicate with friends outside the U.S., since for whatever reason, What's App doesn't seem to be as widely used here. I have the TED app, which though I don't use it often, is fun. I use Apple's podcasts app, and like it just fine, though I don't listen to too many podcasts. I of course have iBooks, as well as Read2Go, Audible, BARD, and the Kindle app. I also have Pages, though if I'm doing a lot of writing, I tend to grab my Mac instead. Like most of us, I have the DropBox app. I have the Nest app for controlling our thermostat. By way of media related apps, I have Netflix, the app from a radio station I listened to when we lived up in Michigan, Tune-in Radio Pro, and Sirius XM.. I have an app called Phases of the Moon, which lets you track moon cycles. And then there's games. I have to confess I'm a complete and total game junky. lol The games I have are: Blind-fold Games: Tile Puzzle, color Crush, War, Solitaire, sudoku, and Word Games. Other Games: Alter Ego,, Lost Cities (which is another card game), Frotz, Papa Sangre II which I swear I'll actually play someday, King of Dragon Pass which I highly recommend, Quizzoid, Delight games, Seven Little Words, Worder, Four Down, Moxie, King's Corner, Cards Alone, One Foundation, and Sixth Sense. And then a handful that I haven't played yet Heathcote, Blind Side, and A blind Legend and One Button Travel. So, unlike Sabahattin, as you can see, I have all kinds of **** on my phone. :) Cheers, Donna :) > On Apr 30, 2016, at 11:03 PM, Sabahattin Gucukoglu <listse...@me.com> wrote: > > I minimise the number of installed apps.
