I have never had a smart phone to really do apps with, but I'd imagine it would come down to an IRC client and maybe Steam's app for messaging. I'm sort of illiterate to the entire atmosphere around phones, which I honestly regret. Living as a shut-in for years has sort of had the effect of making me have a lesser version of the whole Shawshank thing.

Until the day the police use it to pinpoint the exact moment I'm meeting with my meth dealer and use it to intercept me at that time and place, I'm okay.

I actually dont need the cloud shit.
I need to make notes at work and stuff.
HTC pre installed notes were perfect, but they cancled it. And i have many notes i need in the future, so i needet an app with import function.
But many clean notes apps had bad rating or i could not import old notes.
Evernote is actually pretty bad, its a giant program with too many functions nobody would ever need

There is not a single argument why you would buy IOS products over Android. Not a single one.
Beside "looks" but who the fuck cares, android products are beautiful too, there are ugly ones but thats because there are 1000 times more
>>
On my iPhone 6 Plus, I have, of course, the standards I mainly use: Safari, Messages, Phone, Contacts, Calendar, Notes. Weather is not necessary but nice for knowing how warm I should dress in the morning, and of course Clock gets me up in the morning. Mail thoroughly disappoints me, so I use the Gmail app. For media, I have Plex linked to my home computer (a Mac Pro, of course) along with Twitch.tv, Reddit, Imgur, Netflix, and my TV provider's own app. Your standard social apps like okcupid, Tinder, Yik Yak, Snapchat, Facebook Messenger, Kik, and I just found out about whisper. For news, NY Times, WNYC, and NPR News. iBooks for PDF and Marvin for all other e-books. And finally, Tetris, 2048, and Hearthstone because I'm a huge nerd (xD).

Android is half baked, clumsy shit like loonix distros. Its all advantage is it was there before windows phone os. so Its available on more phones and app developers choose to develop for it. Also android is made by an advertising company whose more than 90% of revenues come from advertisements/selling out people. While microsoft and apple are dedicated software/hardware companies.
