So I have finally upgraded to a smart phone- (collective gasp at the horror)- for a variety of reasons.
Most of what I had on my ipod I wont' bring over. But now this phone sits there- staring at me blankly. What are your favorite tools and toys?

I have a bunch of convenience apps on my phone. A Toyota one so I can make my car payment when it pops into my head that it's due. I have one for my credit union, one for the cable company. All enable me to get in and pay things or transfer money wherever I am. I also have a period tracker for obvious reasons and some games. I have the AAA app too in case I break down and don't know where I am so they can ping my phone and come get me.

The Gas Buddy app and I were not friends yesterday. First time I'd tried to use it, wasn't overly impressed.  The school system has an app where I can do lunch money for the kids, that's handy. |

First of all, Proboards. For those with kids, the Baby First (BF123) apps are good. I like that they can't get out of the app without being able to read the pin numbers and type them in so they can't get into trouble. Candy crush!! obviously Others I use: Facebook Bank apps Walmart/Amazon/Ebay email Bible Wunderlist - i can assign tasks to DH and know when he's done since he can check them off. thermostat control Pinterest Google Weather Channel Paypal Netflix |
