Welcome to our new feature called 'What's On Your Phone?'. Here is where we and other tech enthusiasts will unlock our devices to highlight our essential apps and/or cases we use on our daily driver(s).
My name is Analie Cruz. I am a gadget addict. I write for an awesome tech site called TechWeLike. The site is written by women for women. I review all types of consumer electronics from cell phones, tablets,and headphones. With access to so many devices, I've realized that there's just some apps that I always need and download. These are additional apps to the additional stock apps like Gmail, and Google hangouts that I use religiously.
Google Play Music
Samsung Camera / Sony PlayMemories
Nike Running App
I am not the healthiest person around but I'm trying to do better. One of the things I'm trying to impenetrable is running. There are quite a few apps to track outdoor running. But there aren't many that track your progress on the treadmill (my main form of cardio). The recent updates have given me new motivation on current workouts as well.
Transit
If you do follow me on social media, you'll see that during the week my techie friends and I are constantly on the go. While not always on time, the New York City public MTA can get you pretty much anywhere. I use transit to let me know the status on train locations and arrival times. And since NYC now has service in a lot of underground subway stations, I check the app constantly. Even when I'm not in a rush, I check it to see if it it's right or at least close.
WhatsApp Messenger
I have quite a few messaging apps and I use them all one way or another. But WhatsApp allows me to contact friends and family overseas with ease. I have also been using this app for years, so it's been my go-to app before Google hangouts fixed their quirks and texting was unlimited. It also works cross platforms, so I know I can rely on it.
