What apps, games and other things do y'all use and love?

Games I'm addicted to:
Merge Dragons!
The Tribez, Smurfs Village, June's Journey, Township, Matchington, Virtual Villager Origins 2, Magic Puzzles (order in which I play; some only for the login bonus; others I play for hours on end lol)
I also have Cradle of Empires, Junk Jack, Gems of War, Roblox, Old School Runescape, and Fallout Shelter in my favorites folder; but I don't play those regularly at the moment.
There are many, many other games, but I don't play those with any sort of regularity.

I use 7Logics Period Tracker for, well, my periods; TaoMix 2 for sounds to sleep with (free ones only); BrainWave (rarely, for headaches, mood, and creativity).

Then there's PicsArt for collages (though I keep wanting to try LiveCollage and BeFunky which I also have).

Last are the journal apps. I've tried several and *almost* fell in love with Daylio and Dream Journal Ultimate. Now that they've re-introduced customizable day start, I'm back in love with Grid Diary. They phased out the original, which I used nearly every single day for a couple of years.
For people who journal, yet like to approach it more like a log than a diary, I cannot recommend it enough.

You work with grids, which you can customize to carry over from day to day. My grids are Mood, Meds, Diet, Sleep, Health, What did I do today, and Photo of the Day (which I just added today). Unfortunately, they joined the trend of a subscription service, but I think it's only about $1.50 a month and it's not a critical thing. I think, it only allows for things like night mode, the ability to add more pictures, and unlimited journals.

So. What does everyone else use? And do you use it on a phone or tablet? (I'm on an iPad- phones are too tiny for this oldie :rofl1:)

Continuing the theme of grim capitalist implications apps, I highly recommend:

Daylio - Daily Journal. I also use it to track my period and medication intake.
Mint - Budgeting app. Owned by the same people who do Turbo Tax and recently went through a very good overhaul.
Flipp - Couponing app.
Moon+Reader - Ebook reader.
Swiftkey - Mobile keyboard.
MALClient - Web app for MyAnimeList
Manga Rock - For reading manga.
Rullo - Addicting math game that's crazy simple.
Castbox - My personal podcast app of choice.

I use NordVPN for my VPN stuff and Malwarebytes to keep myself safe. I mainly torrent from 1337x.to

I'm pretty addicted to D&D I mostly use it on a tabletop with books. But there's a surprising amount of handy apps and digital products out there; so I've been exploring the technological frontier further. I'm also "addicted" to pinterest, wikipedia, and some youtube and twitch channels, but I'm not really tech compatible so like it's not a huge thing.

lol at your cross-through [MENTION=27952]Merced[/MENTION]. I rant about that a lot myself. Every time I open Magic Puzzles, for instance, they try to get me to buy into their subscription VIP plan for friggin $19.99 a month OR $99.99 a year. Really? Who can do THAT many puzzles lol
Even PicsArt has great features locked behind a subscription ($7. something a month). No thank you.

I did love Daylio and I used it for a few months. Ultimately, though, I loved Grid Diary more- especially with the added ability of being able to start my day at 6AM instead of midnight. I'll be sure to look into some of the others.
[MENTION=30038]Eryn Silverfrond[/MENTION], my cousin was big into D&D back in the day. He was several years older than me and didn't want to work with me. He ran a couple mock campaigns and was a terrible DM lol. I did use their model for character creation. I used it for stories I wrote and such. (And, of course, I was obsessed with the Dragonlance novels :wubbie:)

And YES!- pinterest and wikipedia both can be quite addictive lol; as can YouTube. One video leads to another, leads to another. I've not really gotten into Twitch. When I played Roblox, I followed the creator of the Mining Sim because he gave out codes for the game. That's about it though.

Thanks for sharing, y'all.
