What's your favourite/most useful app?

Love your WW app newist. Does anyone know of an app for keeping stock of what food you have in the kitchen?

I've tried a couple of inventory apps where you scan bar codes and it keeps a list, but as they were American a lot of my stuff wasn't on the database. You could enter it manually - but I decided life was too short!

It would be really good to know whether or not I had some tahini when I was in the supermarket.

I also use Sleepcycle on my phone to monitor my sleep pattern. Yes, it does work, strange as it seems.

Appsgonefree is useful for finding apps that are temporarily free. Sometimes they are new but not always.

MrPotatoHead keeps the younger grandchildren and DH amused for hours.

NationalTrust is useful for up to date information.

MichelinNavigation is excellent for route planning and satnaving.

DropBox is my preferred choice for moving documents around my devices or sharing with others. You can choose whether others can just view the files or actually amend them.

Apologies, in my previous post I referred to YNAB for budgeting but I have since remembered that it's not a standalone app. You need to run the program on a desktop or laptop first and then you can use the app on your phone or ipad to link to it. Then you can update your budget before you leave the shop. Can't recommend enough though.

Thanks for the link to the OS Map Finder yogagran. Now on my phone and ipad and will be very useful.

Scrabble, candy crush and coin dozer if i'm looking for some way to pass the time. Useful things are Evernote and Dropbox for keeping notes and documents synced across devices. I also love any notepad or drawing type apps and Google Earth is fun.

I have a Weight Watchers App, I have just realised this morning it has a scanner, to scan barcodes, so I have just taken every thing I can find in the cupboards with barcodes on to scan them to see how many points there is. I have also been through the fridge checking stuff.
I now have a vision of lots of people going round the supermarkets wafting their smartphones about to see if they should buy things. Oh how shopping has changed since standing at a counter asking the shop assistant for every item

I want a Gransnet App for my tablet. PLEASE GNHQ!!!!!

Amazon,UK Train times, Currency converter, World Clock, Sky+, Shazam, MyNetDiary, Pizza Express (to book tables!) Barclaycard, HSBC, PayPal, British Gas for submitting meter readings, Hive for my remote heating, British Gas Safe & Secure alarm system and of course, Facebook, Twitter, Mumsnet and a link to Gransnet. So many! Sigh!

ARe we going to have a Gransnet app?

Pittcity, since you've mentioned it, I will also admit to Candy Crush! Oh what a time-waster that is!

One of the most used apps on my iPad is HayDay, which is a farm game with fishing area, diamond mine, agriculture, animals and access to other farms. I keep it ticking over for my grandchildren, who come along and rearrange it, use all the coins and diamonds to buy more buildings and animals, and generally wreak havoc. Great game!

Pittcity I was hoping someone would mention 'Angry Birds'

I am busy checking out all these apps and putting those I already have into some sort of order so I can easily find them.

Those I use most frequently are Gmail, Facebook, Twitter and the shortcut to Gransnet of course...these are all on the front page of my phone!!

Another useful one is RedLaser with which you can scan barcodes and find out if you can get it cheaper elsewhere

...and nobody's mentioned Candy Crush!!!

I love Duolingo, which helps you to consolidate a language and at the same time everything you write is used to translate old books. I watched a TED talk on it and was hooked. It's my 'thing' instead of Sudoku or crosswords when I am waiting around for someone.

I also use google calendar quite a bit, it is a planner/organiser and you can use it to interact with others in a business if you wish.

Accuweather, Ebay, and google maps are others that I use a lot.

McAfee, it gives me piece of mind, some people I know forget about security on their phones, while they safeguard their computers.

OS MapFinder if you're a walker as it's a free download and has all the footpaths etc marked on it, exactly the same as the usual OS maps

London Bus Traveller for planning a bus route. Just put in your start point then your destination and it will work out the bus route(s) you need and the time it will take

UK tides for planning trips with the DGC for rock pooling

Do it tomorrow tomorrow.do/ A useful for making lists of things to do

Best app for sending photos is WhatsApp. Free sending of messages and photos, so useful if you've got friends and family abroad

Good to find another fan baubles. I like the way it will store names and addresses too so you don't have to take an address book on holiday!

Oh and My Fitness Pal is free and really useful for tracking calories eaten, weight and calories burned through exercise. Has a great feature where you can scan the barcode on a food and it turns into an entry complete with nutrients. Witchcraft! There is also access to forums and support, but I have never used that

Yes purpledaffodil I'm another fan of Touchnote. It's such an easy way to send a photo.

Have found the Touchnote app very useful. You can use photos from your iPhone to make cards and postcards which are printed and posted for you in several different countries, depending on address of recipient. Price is reasonable considering cost of overseas postage, although useful for thank you cards in UK too.

Has to be Google Apps for me followed by Freecell and Boggle to help me zone out

The app I like best is Google Skymap which identifies the stars, planets, constellations etc. If only the sky was always clear enough to use it!

Thanks for the recommendation for "My Recipe Book" Versavisa, that's really good and it's so easy to add online recipes to it.

My favourite at the moment is white noise baby app, does the trick when 12 week DGS wont settle, a little Doppler Ultrasound sends him over everytime.

Runkeeper tracks my walks and gives me extra motivation if I should need it.

YNAB tracks all my budgeting and spending beautifully. I can't praise it enough. From a very supportive and educational organisation too.

KnitCompanion has relieved me of paper knitting patterns and notes. It is an eye opener and so useful throughout my knitting projects. Can be used in depth or on a more superficial level.

Find My Friends is extremely useful when meeting family and friends.

My Recipe Book holds an ever growing collection of recipes, and is easy to add to electronically or manually.

There are lots more on my list as I'm a bit of an app junkie these days. They make organising my life so simple.

Favourite App: Scrabble. Most useful: the one which keeps an eye on my 'phone useage.
