this is so terribly first-world of me but... if you've got a smartphone, what are your favourite apps?
i have an iphone 4s running iOS 7. i'm just gonna go ahead and post a pic of my home screen so i can go through this shit folder by folder. there is a small possibility i have 1) too many apps and 2) too much time on my hands.
if you want further info on what the apps are/what they do, ask me! i just know they're pretty essential to me.
social:
twitter, obvs
tumblr (again obvs)
vine (i don't make any, but i follow some hilarious people, if you want recs holla)
couple (cute if you have a partner, i don't but i use it with my bestie)
camera:
LINE camera
bokehful
vintique
comicbook
diptic
games:
plague inc
dots
coin dozer (SUCH A STUPID GAME BUT I'M ADDICTED i always loved those things at the arcades shut up)
mahjong deluxe
beatstream
magic piano
bingo pop
health:
dosecast (because without it i would always forget to take any medicine)
lift (i just got this so i dunno if it's good yet, but i'm recommending it because it seems cool)
sleep time
nhs health checker (good for hypochondriacs like myself)
c25k (again haven't started this yet but once i get off my ass it should be a good app)
dreammoods
reference:
dictionary
google translate
wikipedia
writeroom (if you like writing, this is fucking brilliant. just way better than typing stuff into "notes", you can change the colours, password lock it, email stuff to yourself, etc etc)
duolingo (fun way to learn languages)
music:
shuffler.fm (like a channel surfer for music online, you just pick a genre and it plays music)
soundcloud
steremood (bit like shuffler.fm but you pick a mood, ace for when you're trying to sleep but dunno what to listen to)
scrobbler for iOS
money:
nationwide (to check my account on the go innit, not that it ever shows me anything i like to see)
zapper (cool little barcode scanner that tells you the value of your CDs, DVDs etc if you wanna sell them online)
travel:
tube notify
tube map
thetrainline
food:
domino's (THIS APP IS ESSENTIAL YOU GUYS)
how to cook everything vegetarian
bbc goodfood recipes
jamie oliver recipes
food planner (good for getting your shopping lists sorted)

I'm personally a bit picky with apps because I tend to fill my phone with music and the more apps I have, the less space there is for music...
but they were good apps. i wish i could use skype more! i also don't have an instagram anymore. 
i'm half-german but my skillz in the language department are shit, so i was trying to brush up on them.
