I'm not very much a phone guy but I do use my phone only to socialize. Having new friends or talking with my family. I think most of the apps are just waste of time but some are helpful. Usually I only use alarm and calendar. A good number of apps are just distractions.

Apps are on the phone but rarely used. Some apps are quite helpful though. Enjoy the ones that add value.

as per my view there are lot of application which is very nice and useful ant there are lot of other apps which is really a time wasting one without any use. so it is us to decide which one to select.

They´re helpful, when you know how to use it. There are many apps that do the same; however, when you just use a couple of apps, they can ease your life.

Some are useful but some are not at all.

Yeah. Not a big phone user and I usually limit my phone use to texting and calling. Most apps that I use are the ones that you mentioned - for alarm and calculator which are mostly inbuilt. However, I did downlaod some apps like a ebook reader app for ebooks and word processing app foir times that I have to write or view a doc while online or offline. I have only Facebook and Messnger on my socila apps since those are the onyl places I'm interested in. I don't download games app because I usually stopped playing when I'm bored and my cousin refuses to erase it due to records. Ultimately, it depends on teh apps you use whether they are just hogging your space or are really useful when used.

It is true that many apps are simply distractions. I use about 3 or 4 apps on my Android phone/tablet almost daily there are probably another dozen I used once a month. The trick with apps is being selective and using only those you really need.

I've been saved from utmost boredom by a few apps during some occasions where I needed to wait for someone.
