On Phone Apps

Prompt: Do you use Apps on your phone? What are your favorite Apps?
-------------

I somehow believe that all phones work with apps nowadays. After all, we are living in an app-driven world.

My favorite apps, however, are still the search engines because in one of them I have placed WdC, permanently. Although, I rarely if ever, write anything on that tiny screen, my phone is a good device to check on the site during the day when I am away from the laptop.

Apps were very humble in the beginning. They could do only so much; however, they are catching up real fast, especially those communication apps, such as Phone Apps, What's App, FB, and Instagram.

Since my phone's screen is small for my old eyes, I like the apps on my pad, much better. On the pad, I have several apps for Word Games, which I like to play just to ease off stress and make my mind work a bit.

On my phone, I also have apps that manage schedules, but I rarely, if ever use them. They are there because my son put them in to help me; however, I'm still the kind that writes on and consults the wall calendar. The same goes for shopping apps like Amazon, with which my phone is not in the picture, although the app is in it, as well. This is because of the small screen, as I mentioned before.

My sons, on the other hand, use their phones for just about anything. So, I guess, phone apps favor the youth much more than an oldie like me.

I am hoping in the future, apps will be integrated into our lives in a more usable and easier way. Maybe AI will help, but we'll see, as I am mentioning or rather taking AI with a grain of salt, since so far, some companies have really messed up its integration into their systems. For that reason, it is easy to see red as a user when a company's app is nothing but useless.
