    Greenie So I guess I finally joined the modern world

    After having the same phone for 8 years, I finally got a smart phone. iPhone 5c in case you're wondering, no, I don't care about iOS v Android debates. I have Android on my work phone and it aint for me, thanks.

    I utilised my new number to try to convince lonny bob I was his future self (It failed because he is going to kill himself before he hits 30) and convince Iceglow I was a girl he had slept with and HIV (it failed because Steve is still a virgin)

    Anywho, there is a point to this... suggest some apps! For me, for anyone, who knows, who cares, go hog wild! What apps are awesome and I should get?

    Also also, does anyone want to swap numbers and be my new whatsapp bff and talk to each other 24/7 and

    Forum Runner is probably the fastest and easiest way to access EoFF on your phone, although it's not the most compatible. Aside from that I don't know too much about useful iPhone apps, but I would like you to get Snapchat and send me a picture of your breakfast every morning from now on. Thanks.

    I got a smartphone about 9 months ago, still rarely use it for anything other than being a glorified alarm clock - should've just stuck with my old phone.

    Don't tell me that!

    Still, I think it's worth it for abusing non-UK EoFFers alone!

    It failed because you attempted to use the wrong bar and the wrong girls name. Still nice try.

    You should get Puzzle and Dragons because it's fun and then you can help me.

    The Dropbox app is good quality assuming you have a dropbox account you use. It's a quick way to get any photos onto your computer without having to go through the hullabaloo of connecting your iPhone via cable.

    The ability to sync my google calendar to my phone's calendar is a godsend. I am a ridiculously forgetful person, so as long as I remember to log it in my calendar, there is a nice little pop-up reminding me of what it was I was meant to do!

    list of apps I use regularly
    Dropbox
    Easy Battery Saver (I've noticed a difference when I don't have this installed)
    Google Drive
    Google Talk/Hangouts
    Netflix
    Notepad (I use this allll the time)
    OneNote
    Pandora
    Podkicker
    SkyDrive
    Skype
    Snapseed (photo editing)
    Whatsapp
    Youtube (it's better and faster than the browser version)


    And, of course, there are a million social networking, game, and novelty apps. When I first got a smartphone, I went through and downloaded any app that looked like I'd even remotely use it even a little. Over time, I used about 50% of them and they were just taking up space on my hard drive. I would suggest that before you go on a download frenzy, think about if you'll really use something rather than if it's just a cool feature to have available should you ever need to use it.

    Well grats. I'm not even sure what an iOS is, but appearntly I need it to play the new FFVI. Anyway, have fun.

    I use Android so I'm not sure if these apps exist for iOS, but if not then something similar probably does. I'm not trying to start a fanboy war, just cba to look up if they're in the iOS app store:

    myBoy - free GBA emulator and probably my most used app

    Astro File Manager - pretty sure this one is only on Android but I'm sure iOS has something similar. I hate the native support for dealing with files and this app makes it more like working with a computer.

    Google Translate - good app if you will ever find yourself in need of a quick translation to whatever language

    Soundcloud - Usually has whatever song I'm looking for and loads a lot quicker than youtube

    Rando - This is a useless but pretty cool app. You take a picture of whatever you want, it gets sent anonymously to a stranger somewhere in the world, and you in turn receive a random, anonymous picture from somewhere in the world. The only information you can see about the sender is where they're located. I've got some pretty cool pictures sent, and, SO FAR, have received no cock pictures.

    Lastly and most importantly, weChat. This is a Chinese-made app similar to whatsapp used for messaging people using the internet. The thing is, though, that the app is about 1,000,000x better than Whatsapp. I converted a good amount of my friends back home and I hope to see it spread more. It has voice chat, video chat, and even a facebook-like social component if you want to use that (I don't).

    I have never heard of Rando before, but I downloaded it and I'm loving it.
