Thankful Thursdays…For My Apps

Kathy Streib - Your intro to this Thankful Thursday post caused me to pause and think a moment. On March 27, 1997, I moved to Texas. I had no cell phone, no maps, and definitely no apps. How I navigated in a State where I'm not from or was familiar is still a mystery. 

Apps and a Cell phone would have been very helpful. I did get lost a lot! 

Your post was great!

Good morning, Kathy... honestly, I have very few apps on my phone. There is my Showing Time and Supra eKey app so I can show homes, google maps, and Facebook. I try to buy nothing via my phone, so no activated payment apps. 

I am guilty of being "Married" to my phone- most used apps are my fitbit app and my Robinhood app. I love the fact I can watch my steps and my portfolio instantly. 

I remember you shared the 1SE before and I think I downloaded it but wasn't going to use it every day so got rid of it. I'll have to check all of these out!

As I don't have a favorite Kathy, I am curious what others rely on to stay connected.

Thanks Kathy, for sharing great info on all these great apps!!!

Hi Kathy,
I remember we had a Challenge a while back to share our favorite apps. 

I forgot about your mention of the 1SE app. I might try using it this coming year. I haven't been taking many photos lately, and I need to get back into the habit. 

My favorite apps are:
Facebook (and Messenger)
WeatherBug 
Life 360
Keep Notes
Gas Buddy 
Audible
Amazon Music 
Amazon shopping

Really...national app day. I am going to celebrate national multiuse paper day instead. 

I have a lot of apps related to work, CubiCasa for floorplans, Showing time, our MLS, etc. But also Amazon, amazon music for listening to podcasts and music. I use a compass to see which way a house is facing. And of course my google maps, calendar etc.

Hello Kathy - I am not the most app-y person around, but I am aware that apps are actually, apparently so, a part of everyday life.  

Not much of an app person. I have a couple of shopping apps including amazon, Life 360, Duolingo, couple of games, Messages, weather and probably my most used is Snapchat.

Kathy I guess I could be referred to also as a bit of an app _ _ _ _ _ as well.  I have 7 screens of apps on my iPhone.

I don't use a lot of Apps, and the 2 I use the most are the map apps as it can help me so much and the health app so I know how far I walked.

1SE sounds awesome! I love the INK Card app because you can turn one of your photos into a card or postcard directly from the app and have it sent to anyone. It’s super quick, easy, and affordable!

Thanks for the app recommendations, Kathy Streib. I'll have to check them out. Can't say I am a big app user and I have deleted several that I downloaded but never used.. I use the health app every day to check on my walking - the neurosurgeon who did my back surgery wants me to walk plenty every day, as does my physical therapist.

Kathy, I too use My Radar, especially in the spring when there could be hail in the forecast.  Marketplace, Very Fit, Vimtag which is my nanny cam watching the kitties, and HULU.

I can always count on you to learn about new apps, although since you are iPeople, they often aren't available on my android phone, haha.

Good morning Kathy,

There are so many apps out there now! I use my maps (all the time), weather, my MLS and other various real estate apps, Venmo, Whole foods.

What a fun and thoughtful share, Kathy Streib 🙂. I enjoyed the mix of nostalgia and practical tips, and it’s great to see how you’ve turned everyday apps into tools that connect people and simplify life. Thanks for passing along such useful insight!

I've never heard of such a day. However, I would say my favorite is my Bible App. The Word right at my fingertips.
