Would I be sucking up too much if I said RallyPoint?

Additionally, one of my favorites is the Bible app. Not only can you read the Bible at your leisure, but they also have many reading plans to guide you through various topics in the Bible. It's called the YouVersion Bible, at http://www.bible.com.

CPT Chris Loomis, this is an interesting question. My personal favorite is the schedule/calendar. My life gets very hectic during daily operations. Those little reminders keep me on time and on track with my schedule and my life. I can remember quite a few things that I would have forgotten for my son if my calendar hadn't reminded me.

Clash of Clans. There...I said it. Wow. That was liberating. First step is admitting you have a problem.

Assuming we discount no brainers like pretty much every social media app (Facebook, Twitter, RallyPoint) then one of my favorite apps is Circa. It's basically a high speed news aggregator app, but my favorite part about it is that it condenses a news story down to the bare essentials which inherently cuts out a lot of bias. Anyone who follows news stories regularly knows how hard it can be to find an unbiased news source and this app is the closest I've found.

Peterson Strobe Tuner app. Since I always have a phone on me, I'll always have a tuner on me.

Once I liberated my life by deleting my facebook account, I suppose the only app I really checked regularly was the Weather Channel.

You tube. It brings up the videos to keep the little one happy. She's 18 months.

CPT Chris Loomis One of my favorites is Google Drive. I can access of my documents that are cloud based for easy access and can share files/documents with other service members. For music 8tracks is a really good one.

The podcasts app. I really enjoy having access to all of the interesting info that's out there and it updates for me. No more plugging in the iPod every week to update.

Shazam ... I am a music nut. I love being able to hear a song I like, whether it is in a car, restaurant, mall, plane or wherever, click on the Shazam app and have it identify the song and artist and "tag" it for me so that I can download it from iTunes, if I want. It also can provide the lyrics, concert schedule, discography, etc. Great free app or low cost upgrade.

RallyPoint, Waze, iHeartRadio, Couch-to-5K, MyFitnessPal, and Starbucks. In that order. Though I must say the RP app is a little buggy on my iPhone. A number of good recommendations on here. Thank you everyone!

Sync, which shares information on my phone and laptop. So if I write on notes or calendar or contacts on my phone it also goes to my iPad at home. It also takes profile information of my contacts on Facebook and puts that into my phone and iPad contacts information. Reminds me of birthdays also.

I use 2 apps constantly, the first is called Lose It!, the second is my FitBit app.
Lose It is to keep track of all the stuff I eat and the calories and other nutrition stuff, the FitBit is tied into the Lose It app. Since I was injured I have been on a lot of meds that the first big side effect is weight gain.

For social good (in this case our community) the miliSOURCE app (http://milisource.defensemobile.com). I've been using the HECK out of Waze lately, though.

The Communicator, I can get the Enterprise when she is close enough in orbit....Damn It did I say that out loud? Sorry it was one of the voices in my head, in reality I like the camera best, keeps me from writing so many notes to myself, thus shutting up another voice in my head.
