What is one app that you can't live without?

Question

Kate · Accepted Answer

I can't imagine life without music. Ask anyone (especially @ayrton or @mscccc) and they can testify that I'm almost always dancing (because music makes you move 💁). The BEST app / streaming service / all around music-listening-method I've found is Spotify. SO IN LOVE.

Kuba Rogalski · Answer

Most of the apps with the bigger number of upvotes that are mentioned here could actually be listed as the ones I can't live without. If I had to pick one, however, it would be Slack, I guess. It makes it so much easier to stay on top of all the work-related stuff, and since I need to keep track of all the important mentions of our company as well, the integration with https://brand24.com makes it even more valuable for me.

vignesh ravichandran · Answer

I agree, the best thing with Twitter is almost you see what you want to see. Rather Facebook gives x likes y's post or z's picture. That is not what i want to see in the morning.

Graham Campbell · Answer

I use Audible because I've always been a relatively slow reader of text but a keen listener & auditory learner.

Audible offers probably the largest online library of audio books, including many of the world's best non-fiction (and fictional) books of all time that help you become smarter, more well-versed, and more effective.

Plus (and this is probably the biggest reason I use Audible aside from their comprehensive inventory,) you can actually dial the speed of Audiobooks down to 0.75x and up to as high as 3.0x to suit your preferred listening pace (and the audio remains pretty much just as discernable in terms of pitch - ie. no Alvin & The Chipmunks effect).

This speed adjustment feature allows me to digest books much more quickly than I've ever been able to read them.

Answer

This has definitely helped with chronic tab addiction.

BruceLayman · Answer

Hands down, my life would be very different without 1Password. Having a place where all my passwords, critical information, and a handful of notes can live securely gives me so much peace of mind. The password generator, 1Password Mini, and the Chrome extension, not to mention the TouchID protection of the iOS app, have dramatically improved my digital security measures. I never have to make a silly short password or reuse an old one for fear of forgetting because I trust 1Password to do that heavy lifting for me. The Watchtower feature that warns you of potentially compromised sites is a great tool, and duplicate password detection makes it much easier to beef up your password security without hunting through a list of all your sites, usernames, and passwords. Security and peace of mind are totally worth paying for with 1Password.

Ebrahim Tahernejad · Answer

Fast, Reliable, Groups(200 person max), SuperGroups(10xGroup), Robot API, Channels and Broadcasts, Voice calls (Although it's filtered here in IRAN :|), Using robots in groups and supergroups, Many marketing potentials lies inside, so many little-but-great features like pinning a message to top, banning system, deleting messages in some conditions, and so much more, From what I read from source code in the next version there is going to be Money Transactions, like creating invoices and pinning them or forwarding and sending them as message.

but there are some problems too, there are some breaches still inside from what I learned and tried to penetrate, some of them lies within the features that can't be changed easily, and another problem is saving the chats inside the servers ... though you can use secret chats which has an end-to-end encryption + all calls have the end-to-end encryption feature too.

plus right now there is no way to breach the Telegram database and th breaches don't include privacy and security problems.

after all of these I prefer Telegram over Whatsapp, Viber and the others, ... 
there are so many features and the apps UI are easy and smooth completely similar to native UI of each platform and feels like you are texting with the native messaging app though you have so much more options.

and now it has become a part of my life :)

João Antunes · Answer

I rarely have to do anything else than one tap to launch the App that I want. Nokia Z Launcher records which App you use in which situations and presents you a short list of 6 based on your usage. If the app (or contact) that you want isn't on the main screen, I usually only have to write the first letter so that he can filter through the possibilities also taking into account my usage of the apps/phone.

If you are one of the people that prefer Mac's spotlight Windows start search etc. as a launcher, maybe you'll prefer Z Launcher to the default one on your Android (and iPhone too [?])

Graham Campbell · Answer

Wunderlist is delightfully simple yet remarkably robust.

Wunderlist works on 💻, 📱, and on ⌚ (although, admittedly I don't use the Apple Watch app too much personally).

Wunderlist enables you to accomplish & keep track of your most important to-dos better than any other solution I've come across outside of iPhone/Apple Watch reminders.

If like me, you use both an iPhone & a PC (rather than a MacBook), then Wunderlist can be a great tool as it works with, and syncs in almost real-time across both Apple & Windows.

Arguably (and this seems to be the underlying principle guiding Wunderlist's design & UX) the most important attribute of a task is not necessarily when it is due (which is sometimes not yet set or clear), but whether or not the task is urgent/crucial, which Wunderlist enables you to easily indicate by tagging with a bright red star ribbon. These red tagged tasks then float to the top of your list, so that you are more likely to see & tackle them.

Wunderlist also allows you to tag tasks with hashtags preceding descriptor words (eg. #finances, #errands,) which proves to be quite nifty as you can filter all your tasks for those related to a certain aspect of your work/personal life.

You can share your to-do list with others (although I don't think it's built for teams as much as something like Asana). You can also view tasks either by "Starred", "Today", "Week" or "All", each of which has its merits depending on the situation.

Lastly, for you advanced users & productivity enthusiasts, another helpful functionality of Wunderlist is that it integrates with both Zapier & IFTTT so that you can get pretty darn fancy with generating to-dos based on triggers from other tools (eg. Google Calendar, Slack etc.).

I work with Recruitee so I can't live without them :) Haha kidding! I do work with them, though, and also highly recommend using this ATS (Applicant Tracking System) if you are an employer or recruiter. Companies and agencies of all sizes and budgets can benefit from Recruitee. Here's a quick overview of the mobile app they just released (on iPhone and Android) to give you an idea of what it would allow you to do for your recruitment efforts:

1. Focus on the most important aspects of hiring

2. Get notified and act on what matters most 

3. Feel the pulse of your pipelines

4. Be accountable to each candidate 

Hiring is fast-paced, and if you don’t jump on the opportunity to reach out to candidates, top talent may be taken by your competitors. Recruitee’s app makes sure you are connected as often as you like and notified when it’s time to act on an opportunity. Since you need to have an account to use the app, you can sign up for a free trial in order to try it out for yourself! Here's the link: https://recruitee.com/signup

Matt Sch · Answer

Mine used to be Rdio. I loved the UX/UI, and I loved reading and sharing comments on artists and albums.

Since Rdio has gone, nothing has adequately filled the Rdio-sized hole in my life. I used it for quite a few years and enjoyed features like offline listening on my mobile. I'm still grappling with my music life post-Rdio.

I've tried Spotify, Tidal and now recently SoundCloud Go. None of them really compare, since I really miss the social features that Rdio really nailed. Currently, the only service I'm using consistently is YouTube and normal SoundCloud, but I've really stopped listening to music since Rdio left my hard drive...

Graham Campbell · Answer

I’ve been using Pandora 📻 for music for the past 5 years or so, and the paid version, Pandora One (without ads or commercials) for about 6 months.

After 👍-ing some 945 songs (and 👎-ing some fraction of that figure), I’m finding Pandora’s song suggestions to be absolutely on 🔥🔥🔥. This is especially true since the new “Thumbprint” station function became available in December of 2015 and the “Add variety” feature was released.

(Thumbprint Radio is like a melting pot of your favorite songs, and new songs inspired by their shared attributes, while Adding Variety lets you add, say, a Pixies twist to your Phantogram station).

What makes Pandora so awesome is that it actually grew out of the Music Genome Project, a passion project determined to map out the anatomy of any given song and to organize music.

See https://www.pandora.com/about/mgp for more on the Music Genome Project.

Long story short, this science experiment 👩‍🔬 had untapped commercial potential, and now Pandora knows exactly what you want to jam out to 🕺🕶️🤘.

After you use Pandora for a while and give enough 👍 & 👎 feedback, each song you hear will be carefully curated for you based on sophisticated correlations of your preferences to various objective attributes native to a given song (ie. tonality, genre etc.).

Many recommendation engines base suggestions on what users who have behaved similarly to you have viewed or listened to (a process called collaborative filtering) rather than on the characteristics of the content itself. But sometimes these socially-driven engines miss the mark (ie. when you have to admit you find “Sorry” by Justin Bieber to be pretty catchy, so the service then mistakenly assumes that you must like all pop music and listen mostly to pop music). I'm not knocking collaborative filtering services, as they can be extremely robust.

I just really 👏 Pandora for their investment into hyper-personalizing the radio experience.

There's also something to be said for relinquishing control over what song plays next and having that serendipity that old school radio offered, but with a DJ playing just for you & your taste.

Happy listening! 📻

Strangely enough, it's a note-taking app that I use for journaling/writing, taking notes at work and creating to-do lists that later on I add to my Google calendar. This app lets me express myself in creative ways and it's very convinient since I use it on both my laptop and my phone. My favorite thing about it is that I can write, draw and take notes all in one app - so it's quite useful in terms of doing something creative and functional, and it's one of the few apps I use daily.

Joshua Gunning · Answer

Check it out on TC: https://techcrunch.com/2017/05/10/pinguin-is-a-public-chat-room-for-nerdier-people/

PROJECT GENESIS:

Our social feeds are based on “friends” or acquaintances that we’ve met throughout our lives by circumstance. We don’t necessarily share the same interests with these people, nor do we have much in common other than the circumstances in which we met. We have pretty much full access to these people. Snapchat for the “in the moment”, Instagram for the “humble brag”, Facebook for the “family-focused updates”, and Twitter for …well I’m not quite sure “thought vomit?“.
However, none of this helped me much when I moved from middle Missouri to Orlando, to NYC, to SF, and then to LA. There I was in these new cities with no friends or family. All the degrees of connectivity didn’t help. I had to find friends and people of interest the old-fashioned way. To walk up and say, “Hi, I’m Josh.”

This method didn’t fair too well in New York City. I was truly lonely in a city of 8.4 million people and none of my social networks could help me. The SF and LA community were a bit more receptive but most people I met didn’t share much in common, or maybe I’m just picky or maybe they didn’t like me… but that only sells my point more. It took a lot of time to develop any lasting relationships, lots of time… after 7 years of being in LA, I can finally say I have a good group of friends. That seems strange. I’m not that scary of a person and I rarely bite.

This is why we are building Pinguin. We believe there’s a gap in the social space the incumbents simply can’t afford to target that lets people socialize around their interests, rather than being tied to the people they know because what’s life without expanding into the unknown? That’s exactly what Pinguin is: An interest-based social network that enhances communities both geographical and topic based through relevant conversation.

PROJECT IN MY OWN WORDS:

Pinguin is an interest-based application to discover and connect with communities that I care about. It’s a place where I can have the conversations I want to have with the people that want to have them with and care about what I have to say, immediately. I can choose to connect with a broader community or find people that share my interests in the same city or event.

Wunderlist is the easiest way to get stuff done. Organize and share your to-do, work, grocery, movies and household lists. No matter what you’re planning, how big or small the task may be, Wunderlist makes it super easy to get stuff done.

Naomi Freeman · Answer

TickTick is a to-do app that easily allows filter/sort by priority (colour-coded), date, user-created or smart lists, as well as "assigned to".

I love the dark theme option. It might seem trivial, but white background To-Do lists just don't work for me.

Colour cues are super easy to add in the app for organization, reducing clutter. If you have a "Buy stuff list", "Appointments", "House tasks", you can make each of them a different colour, and this appears as a thin colour line beside the task when they're all in one view, so you can immediately see which belongs to what.

Setting priority is easy when you create the item, and it auto-sets each priority level to a different colour, which determines the colour of the tick box.

Also, it's super easy to add tasks with voice commands instead of writing. I've found this invaluable using it with different team members invited to the tasks. I, personally, am a written person, but others find the "add by voice" much simpler. The voice recognition is highly accurate and will even transfer in things like time to the task.

Answer

Since the original napster, I had been a big torrent user, primarily for music. After a hard drive failure a few years ago, everything was gone. As a musician, my life felt empty. A friend with decent taste in music suggested Spotify and I guffawed, thinking, "how could some silly streaming app possibly have anything I like on it?" Well, not sure how, but Spotify has not failed to deliver everything I want and need in my musically-driven life, and has opened me up to so much more. Thanks Spotify, I will pay your sub fee over feeding myself, every time... you know, if it comes to that.

It also acts as my long term memory about tech !

Graham Campbell · Answer

Works in Chrome, on 📱 (share to Pocket), and right within Twitter.

Pocket has probably one of the best designs and user experiences of any app out there. One example is when you save a page to Pocket, it automatically suggests recommended tags, which can be a major time saver when those match what you would have tagged the tweet/url with anyway.

In addition, if you subscribe to the paid version of Pocket, Pocket Premium, as I have done ($4.99 per month, or $44.99 per year), I believe it actually saves a digital copy of any page you save to Pocket, in case the page/tweet is later deleted or moved.

All these factors together create a lot of value for me, so much so that Pocket Premium joins the short list of apps I subscribe to on a monthly basis. Hope this helps 👍
