What are the 10 most frequently used apps on your 6p?

[NazmiVDW]

Top 10 apps on my 6P (in no particular order)

1. 
   [1] Whatsapp
   [2] Wechat
   [3] Buzzfeed
   [4] Medium'
   [5] Instagram
   [6] Tumblr
   [7] MyTeksi (like GrabCar for Malaysia)
   [8] Musixmatch
   [9] Zedge
   [10] Brit+Co

 

[Clocks]

At least half of these are repeats from above but here you go!

• Nine (Exchange mail app)
• Textra (SMS app)
• Gmail (duh)
• Google Music (subscribed)
• Press (consolidates blog posts/RSS feeds)
• Pocket (for saving and consolidating articles I find on Press or the web)
• Metal (the best Facebook and Messenger app replacement out there)
• Digical (calendar with multiple views and widgets)
• Truecaller (caller ID)
• Newsbeat (reads news aloud from multiple news sources)

Metal and Newsbeat are my best finds. Newsbeat can be buggy though.

I don't understand how anyone uses a news app other than newsstand. They all just send you to horribly designed mobile pages or ones that are totally unusable like androidcentrals mobile site.

does the person you text have to be using the same text messenging app for everything to work? Ive never heard of hangout until recently and just assumed everyone used the basic messenging app that is on their phone didnt realize people could download other 3rd party ones

Short answer is no. Hangouts serves as the SMS app if you make this the default text application so anyone that can receive a normal text will be able to see your text sent from the Hangouts app.

I'll say that Press provides very nice summaries (sometimes the whole article). I can either jump from those to a web page like you say but I usually save them to Pocket with one touch on the icon. Then, in Pocket, the full articles are formatted by the Pocket app in a very readable format. You can always switch to "Web view" from Pocket but I rarely do.

One of the other great things is that Press uses Feedly so there is a synced web version on my desktop. Pocket also has a great web interface on the desktop too. I can read on my computer, on my phone, both... everything is synced up!

Took a look at Press and it's very positively reviewed, including AC's review. Sadly, I doubt it will continue to be updated and supported. The last app update was in 2014. A look at the maker's website shows the last blog post was in 2014 announcing that update and their last Twitter post was December 2014.

That's a bummer. I stopped looking at its upgrade status. We'll, it still works.

No, because annualcreditreport.com provides everybody with a free credit report/score once per year and it's sponsored by the US govt. Unless you suspect fraud, there's no reason to continually check your credit score, cause each time you're doing so, your score takes a small hit.

I believe that's incorrect. I've used Credit Karma for a while now and have never noticed a hit to my score. There are hard inquiries (affect your score) and soft inquiries (don't affect your score). Credit Karma pulls your info using soft inquiries. Directly from their website:

Soft inquiries may be recorded in your credit report, depending on the credit bureau, but they won't affect your credit score. One of the biggest misconceptions is that checking your own credit score using companies like Credit Karma will hurt your credit score. This is not the case. You can check your credit scores at Credit Karma as often as you like without affecting your credit score.

That is correct. Wanted to comment on this but thought it'd be sidetracking the thread

good to know, a common misconception ... still, I see know reason to continually check your credit. whether it's a 740 one week and a 738 the next really doesn't matter. I like to get a copy of my credit report every so often to make sure there's no fraud on it. My credit score has been about a 750 or thereabout for the past 10 years. Until my debt to income significantly decreases, I won't have an 800+ unfortunately.

Income has no bearing on the credit score either. I think you're thinking of credit utilization which is a measure of how much you're using against the total credit available to you (you want to try to stay under 10% of the total credit limit available to you).

Credit Karma basically gives you the credit report for free as well so it's a very useful app. Most folks won't get their full credit picture until they have both their credit score+report due to some obscure FICO scoring rules so it doesn't hurt to have a way to monitor on an ongoing basis. Also, the app won't update every week, it'll give you a notification if there's been a change to the credit score.

sure it does. debt/income ratio is a factor in your credit.

 

[skyo12]

It has no bearing on the actual score. I agree that it does come into play if you're applying for a loan to determine if you can make payments (car loans or mortgages) but it does not impact your FICO score. I can theoretically have a 800+ score with $0 income as long as all the factors in the link below are satisfactory.

The PHONE app.
For me, its a phone first, everything else is secondary.

What is this phone you speak of? Is it like texting but with your mouth?

Google Nexus 6P
