Friday Five - My Essential Apps for iPhone

Following up on today’s earlier post, here are the 5 apps that have a permanent place on my home screen...

Twitterrific -  For a long while, I was loving Tweetbot.  Frankly, I still do.  But until Tweetbot gets it’s act together on iPad, I needed something that can handle my constant switching between devices.  Twitterrific’s stream sync has done a fantastic job.  The  Watch app is great too.  I’m a Twitter junkie and right now, Twitterrific is my go-to.  It has “dock” status.

Deliveries - Incredibly useful for someone like me who has lots of stuff in transit for both work and personal.  Easy to use, iCloud syncing to my iPad, and beautiful.  It’s quickly become a favorite app.

Feedworthy - My favorite new Reddit client by far.  Beautiful, flowing design.  In-line gif previews.  Easy to navigate.  This is a killer app for Reddit.

Feedly - My RSS reader of choice.  

Podcasts - So here’s my astonishing admission; I really like the Apple Podcasts app. While it may not be the most “full featured” it does a few key things I really need it to do.  See, I listen to a lot of podcasts- mostly when I drive but often at home when I want to finish what I’ve started.  My home set-up is a series of AirPlay speakers that sync the whole house; controlled by my Mac.  So my biggest need is a Podcast client that syncs them both so I can pick up on my Mac right where my iPhone left off AND then control multiple AirPlay speakers.  Podcasts gets it done.  Even as much as I’d love to try others, no others I’ve found can handle my “podcast flow” so to speak.  So the Apple Podcast app is my essential podcast app- “dock” status and all.
