When I wrote my review for my Cherry Mobile Flare, I said I will share my favorite apps soon. Almost eight months later (life and a lot of other stuff got in the way, okay? LOL), here it is.

Some apps I use more than others, while some I don't get to use that much but cannot bring myself to uninstall. Without further ado, here is a series of screenshots to show you my phone's current contents, all downloaded (most are free, some I paid for) from Google Play. I included the links of my favorites so if you are interested to try any of these apps, you can just click the link and download.

I created folders for my apps to make it easier to find what I need. Looks neater and more organized, too!

Camera. Obviously, photo apps are my favorite because I have the most number of apps here. Confession: I edit my photos first before I upload photos in Instagram or Facebook - a few tweaks here and there can make a big difference! Cymera and Snapseed are my favorites because of the former's stickers and filters and the latter's ability to make my photos look like they were taken by a real camera. I also like BokehPic, Comic Strip It!, Globe Photo, Shape'd, and Sketch Guru. Magic Hour is the first app I paid for, but now I don't even use it that much anymore.

Entertainment. About You! is a fun app that tells you about your personality just by typing your name. I don't know if it's bogus or not, but everything it said about me is true hee. Harry Potter Spells and Curses contains a lot of sound clips of spells from the Harry Potter movies. I just love listening to them say Wingardium Leviosa or Expecto Patronum ha ha. I know, I'm weird. Moving on... Get Glue, Goodreads, IMDb, and Series Guide feed my need for information about books, movies, and my favorite TV shows. And yes, I find no shame in admitting that I do have an app that teaches me the many different ways to Tie a Scarf.

Games. I don't get to use my phone for games as much as I used to because I get too busy with other things, while most times I prefer to just read using my Kindle than play with my phone. During idle times though, I like playing Kairosoft games. Also, there was a time I got totally addicted to Fruit Ninja that I bought the full version LOL.

Social. I guess all these apps are pretty standard for all smartphone users so I don't have to write anything about them anymore, do I?

Tools. I bought Beautiful Widgets and SwiftKey and they are probably the best Android purchases I've ever done. I just love how SwiftKey has familiarized itself with my style; its predictive text input has made emailing and texting easier and faster! Meanwhile, I use ColorNote, Notebooks, and Papyrus to jot down my ideas whenever there are no pen and paper around. Let's face it, we're around our phones more than a real notebook and pen, right?

By the way, guess who my phone Zippy's new companion is?

It's an Alien from Pizza Planet! I find these creatures ridiculously adorable that I try to get my hands on merchandise featuring them as much as possible! I should feature them on another post soon. Anyway, this ear phone pluggy was sent to me together with a pair of beetle earrings and a turquoise bracelet by Yellow Sparklers. You should check out their page as they have a lot of pretty accessories at really affordable prices! They are also selling Taiwan homemade milk tea that, frankly, I am super curious about.

What about you, what are your favorite Android apps? Are there any apps you want to recommend to me? Let me know in the comments! ♥
