So now that I told you what apps I use that Apple has provided me with, I'm going to get onto the actual point of this part which is pretty much my favorite apps/websites. Let's start with apps that I have on my phone.

Favorite Apps on My Phone

1. Reminders

-- I use Reminders all the time to help me remember things. It's also where I keep track of my quarterly writing goals.

2. Notes

-- If I get an idea when I'm not as home or near my writing idea notebook, I jot down my thoughts on the notes app.

3. Clock

-- AKA, my alarm. My alarm that I have to have 3 set for otherwise I won't get up. I kind of like the feature of bedtime Apple added with this new update, but I rarely listen to when it tells me to go to bed.

4. Safari

-- Helpful for looking up things for writing and entertainment

5. The weather Channel

-- I don't trust Apple's weather app, so I use The weather Channel.

6. Dropbox

-- Extremely helpful for extra photo and/or video storage

7. wattpad

-- Obviously, this is an app I use quite frequently, because I'm on here updating a few times a week.

8. iFunny

-- I don't go on this everyday, but I do at least once a week and just flip through the features/my subscriptions. It's mostly memes.

9. Tumblr

-- I like to use Tumblr to stay in touch with the Booklr community. It's also where I find most of my book recommendations.

10. Pinterest

-- I like to use this to help me get ideas for my art projects. Also, for just random helpful hints/tips of advice.

11. YouTube

-- Great for videos obviously, but also for when I want to listen to a particular song now.

12. Amazon

-- I need somewhere to shop for books from.

13. P Tracker

-- Honestly, this app is extremely helpful for reminding me when my period is.

14. Mahjong*

-- I just like to play this game.

15. Goodreads

-- Obviously, I'm on Goodreads quite a bit too.

16. Spotify

-- I keep mostly my writing/band playlists on here.

17. NOOK

-- when I forget my Nook this comes in handy so that I can still read.

18. CardConnect

-- This app tells me how much is on my paycheck card.

19. LightIt

-- This is reading light, so that I can turn my bedroom light off and still read.

Apps on My Chromebook

1. Google Drive

-- This is where I save all my writing. This includes Google Docs, Google Slides, Google Sheets, Google Forms, etc.

2. Netflix

-- I use to use this a lot more before I got an Xbox in my room.

3. word Keeper Alpha

-- This tells me how many words I've written per day, month, year, since joining. It also helps me stay on track with my own chosen deadlines.

Now, let's move onto websites. Most of these I've mentioned the app form of it so I won't talk to much about them.
