The apps I use most frequently are: Prizmo. Which it would be interesting to read a comparison between Prizmo & KNFB. CamFind, excellent app to scan just about anything. Even importing a screenshot. CloudClip. I absolutely love this app. I have it on both my iDevices & Mac. What I copy to the clipboard is available on each device. Every so often, it is a bit buggy & doesn’t copy over right away, but most of the time it works brilliantly.
Twitterrific. This is my go to Twitter app. TV Remote from xFinity. I use this app a bit more on my iPad, because the episodes are in folders. Lol, I use it mostly on my phone to turn the channel. ;) My Fitness Pal. Even if I am not tracking calories, I use this app to identify foods & drinks. Learn the serving size & nutrition. DraftPad. I’ve had this app for a long time, but still find it useful, if I quickly want to compose a text or long post, without accidentally sending it. :) Lol, I’ve even done things, like while at home I write out a check in post for Facebook, because I know I’ll want to check in from the restaurant but not necessarily type it out or dictate it in public. This isn’t an app, but it is a way to use IOS. I have a Safari Icon for the website DirectionsForMe.org <http://directionsforme.org/> This website is very handy for obtaining directions/instructions for foods & or drinks. I have another Safari icon for a local radio station’s playlist. Yet another one for a radio station’s weekly stream of it’s Saturday night broadcast. Love those Safari icons. :) Hopefully the above list is helpful & not too long.
