    I've just got my shiny new (and first ever) smartphone! I obviously now want to play with it and fill it with *****. What's your favourite app?

    Spotify and Kindle get used a lot, as do Uber and all the other taxi apps.

    Just been having a lot of fun using Google Translate to hear what various ridiculous sentences sound like in other languages with my 6 year old. Honest it was with her! She finds Face Swap pretty hilarious as well.

    "My fitness pal" if you're a excercise / fitbit / calorie counter.

    Tracks calories consumed by scanning bar codes off the packaged and processed foods you eat and any cauli that have conveniently evolved to survive in supermarkets.

    Waze is an excellent sat nav - uses live data to update traffic and suggest alternative routes.

    Other than that the rest of my useful apps have already been mentioned.

    Is My Fitness Pal any good if you don't eat processed or packaged food?

    Yeah as you can add your own recipes. I've always done it by the desktop site so couldn't scan packaging anyway.

    I presume you have to be quite accurate in assessing the portion sizes for it to be effective?

    Yes. I weigh things the first time I make something but you get to be able to eyeball it pretty quickly. If you've made a batch of something you can then put in that you've eaten 0.25 of the recipe etc.

    Trainine for train information and bookings, with tickets sent to my phone.
    Easyjet for flight bookings and tracking, and (you guessed it) boarding passes on my phone.

    Shazam for those "Who sang this?" moments.
    Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc.
    Online banking a must.
    Here for sat nav, Gmail email

    AroundMe for walking directions to a location in a place you are not familiar with. Used a lot to find a customer in the middle of London when I come out of the tube station.
