What apps are Iphone owners downloading and using?

What are your opinions of them?

Yeah, I know Whirlpool has a few Threads on the topic but I'm interested in what EO people are using.

Mine are:

PAID:
Pocket Weather.
Just fantastic. $2.49 a month and worth it.

FREE:
Alarm Clock.
Looks good. Haven't used it yet. I'm retired who needs ana larm clock?

Unit Converter:
psi to kpa, that sort of thing. Handy but has ads. I'll probably delete it.

I'm glad I ain't too scared to be lazy

Thread re-instated by the Moderators. Thank you.

Maniney, the apps can be removed by touching them until they "shiver" then touch the red cross in the corner.

What I don't know yet, is how you stop payments coming out of your credit card for ones you've paid for and removed.

Anyone help with that?

GB,
Have tried that today and yes the icons do "shiver" but there is no cross, of any colour, there.
The new apps I've added all have black circles with a white cross, but I need them, things like '4 day weather forcast' and 'boating conditions forcast' are very useful and I rely on them to know what the ocean conditions will be like during the week as too many tourists here on weekends.

Have just tried that and there is a black and white cross on the corner and if you tap that it will delete it.

Did for me anyway

Yes and as far as I know the installed ones cant be removed.

You can however shift them to the page to the right and not see them

You just drag them over when they are vvviiibbbrraaattiinng.
