I think he meant the default phone dialer that comes with the phone.

WP10

 

- OneNote

 

... I think I mostly just use included MS apps (Linked Inbox, Cortana, Edge, Messaging and phone etc,.. I'm not a heavy user, but I'm quite happy with those apps)

Hmmm, I thought he meant a reverse phone lookup. I should have mentioned in the OP "3rd party apps" 

 

I suppose it is an "app", so......ok

Its an archaic application that most people have long forgotten about

Yup

Android

 

1)  Quick Profiles.  Been using it since Android began pretty much. Has not been updated much over the years, but still works with every Android OS revision.

2)  Bacon Reader Premium

3)  Apex Pro.  Home screen replacement.

4)  Quick Pic.  Better pic viewer than the default app

5) 250+ Solitaire Collection.  Been using this for years as well.

 

I have more that I use besides those 5 of course. But thought I would list a couple that I really have not seen mentioned elsewhere.

iOs (work phone) 6S 16gb

• googlemaps

• Spiceworks mobile

 

Android (personal phone) LG G3 Marshmallow 32gb

 

• Google home (chromecasts)
• Chrome
• Es File Explorer Pro

[Nick H. Supervisor]

Eesh, only 5? That's tough, as I think there are about 10 that are almost automatically downloaded the moment I get a phone. Let's see...

 

- ES File Explorer

- Chrome

- BBC News

- VLC

- Whatsapp

 

I've cheated a bit because there's normally a weather app by default, and the fact that Chrome can still access things like Facebook, OneNote, Gmail...technically it could access BBC News, so I could remove that and replace it with something like Skype or Fallout Shelter.

 

EDIT: Whoops, forgot to mention that this is for Android.

[Draconian Guppy]

Well, um:

 

Android, LG G3

 

Hmmm Non default (as in I have to download)

1. whatsapp

 

Default.

2. Chrome

3. Dialer

 

* Also in the order they get used most

** Yeah the app gap is something that wouldn't apply to me as long as #1 is around.

Running Android M

 

1. Dialer (stock)

2. Contacts (stock)

3. Chrome (stock)

4. Textra

5. GMail (stock)

 

Bonus item: Nova launcher

 

Looking at my current phone, I think Textra and Nova Launcher are the only non-stock apps I'm running right now.  I guess I'm very much in the minority in that my phone is actually mostly used as a telephone, not a pocket computer/social networking tool.
