Do any of you really use your phone apps?

I don't, except the standard ones. However, today I used the bar scanner and was able to find something for less, somewhere else. -- cool. I know this technology has been around for a while but I'm simple minded and slow. Go easy with me. :)

There are dozens I have used only once. If my phone were faster (I have an iPhone 3G), I might be more inclined to use the apps. As it is, even Todo List runs infuriatingly slow. Of the apps installed by default, I have used these ones a good amount: Maps, Safari, Mail, Camera.

I have used Google Goggles a few times, I've used Google maps many times, and use Google MyTracks when walking. I use my bank's app regularly to check balance and transfer money to the wife. I use the Sky+ app to record things I've forgotten to set before going out. My new Bluray player I am getting next week comes with an app to control it. I haven't used my breakdown recovery app yet, but should I ever break down... I could go on, guess I'm a bit of a smart phone junky.

I have a few (three) widgets on my home screen and eleven apps are visible on the apps page -- I hid most (fifty-one) of the apps I couldn't uninstall. I haven't downloaded any apps and I certainly have no plans to pay for any. X|

I like this one. Thinking about putting it on my new phone. I have a new Samsung Stratosphere 4G ($99 for the phone with $50 mail in rebate and company discount). Not bad.

I have a nice free cell game by SoftTick, cut the rope, and angry birds. Not much else for games.

Often times I'll find an app useful in a certain situation, then never need it again, but it's nice to have the option available. Then there was an app I thought of, found out it didn't exist so I decided to start working on making it :-D (haven't gotten far, the internals are outside of my experience, so there's a lot of learning to do first)

I did a search the other day for some other apps and one that looks interesting is "List!" It apparently has the ability to nest lists, which could be nifty. Though I'm so used to Todo List, I'll probably keep using it until I get a new phone (iPhone 5?).

I have a basic phone with a web browser but no apps, so not really a smart phone. I might do it, make the leap into smart phone-dom. In the next few weeks, depending on my personal expenses, I will go phone shopping, and probably hardly ever use an app except to look up addresses/store hours/menus.
If you are in no rush, you may want to wait for the iPhone 5, which may be out by October.
