**Android Authority's Ash and Kevin Discuss Their Favorite Apps**

Hey guys, Ash here and I'm just quickly going to show you what's on my home screen and what sort of apps I use on an everyday basis. So, my phone is rooted and I use the Google Now launcher in conjunction with exposed the module. I use is the exposed GEL settings now let me just quickly find that so I can show you now this allows me to have everything that Google Now offers but with the functionality of something like Nova.

I tend to keep things quite simple, so you'll never really see too much on my home screen. I like to let the wallpaper shine through. I have the appy gamer widget which Aggregates gaming news and underneath that I have the Google Calendar widget which I love over to the right we have the appygeek widget which like before Aggregates uh Tech news and also General news underneath that we have the Google keep widget which I use in conjunction with Evernote it's great for taking and inputting quick notes.

They've made a quick selection for you to show you the apps that I use on an everyday basis. First up, we have Ender Mondo which is a fitness app that I use to track all my runs and cycle rides. It offers a really nice interface with good functionality for tracking the various stats. Secondly, we we've got F1 reader now I'm into Formula 1 and this is a great app for keeping up with all the news that may happen moving on there's thinging which is a great network analysis tool. There's blacklist which gives the ability to block any calls that don't meet a certain set of parameters so for example you could set it to block any numbers that are private or any numbers that aren't part of your contacts other than listening.

I normally use two apps and they're quite simple. The first is the simple FM scrobbler and it does just that scrobbling, it's awesome. Secondly, there's song kick which tracks the artists that I follow via Last FM and inputs them into Google Calendar. Finally for the last bunch of apps, there's pin out I am often making cables and this app is a great reference for any formal soldering to find out what terminals are to be paired with what.

The last two I think you will know the first is ES File Explorer which in my opinion is one of the best file explorers out there. It has great functionality. And then there's pocket for those who don't know it allows you to save articles for offline reading and there you go guys that was my home screen and also what sort of apps I tend to use on a day-to-day basis.

**Ash's Favorite Apps**

I've used Slack, which is actually really good. It's engaging, I like it, we all use it, it's a fantastic thing. I've also talked about any.do that I use every day, any.do as a task manager. Uh kind of reminder that for some reason is able to keep me on track uh consistently without being pestering and I really really like that.

Now as you guys know I'm a pretty hardcore calendar geek. I've spent crazy amounts of money on the best calendars but I still keep coming back to Google Calendar. I had lots of hopes for it after the lollipop update, the material design but unfortunately they've taken out a proper month view. I mean they have a preview month view but it's just not the same, it's not what I want so I'm on the hunt again for better uh calendar apps that does everything that I want it to do.

I use Google keep quite often just to uh take notes and pictures and store them in the cloud and all that good stuff. On my second page just is the you know I have prayer books games, uh you know I'm big Angry Birds and quiz up guy, uh you guys know I love Daddy long legs. I played that for quite a while with other Android authority hosts.

Assana is our task manager that we use as a team and and I use Flipboard quite a bit too for my news, a little bit of Snapchat but that is really about it. I try and keep it clean and minimal so that it's fast um I don't I don't root at least I haven't rooted this phone because I haven't really needed to it does everything I wanted to do it's super Snappy never lags and uh yeah obviously these are all my cards I use those cards quite a bit.

phone all right so here is my daily driver this is the Moto X 2014 and the reason why this is my daily driver is because this is the phone that I always go back to when I'm not reviewing another phone uh which is pretty rare but during the off chance that I am not reviewing one like if I'm reviewing a tablet or a smartwatch or something uh this is the phone that I will normally use uh now as far as the apps go um you can see I keep my home screens pretty pretty simple I only have two of them uh so I have four folders down here and then I have seven icons in the dock including the app drawer and up top is dash clock which is a pretty pretty uh popular um widget so I really like that widget it's nice and clean and then on my second home screen here this is simple calendar widget and below it is ey in the sky that is my weather app of choice just because uh I'm used to it I like the way that it looks and uh I like the customization behind it so uh I really like that app uh so let's go ahead and just go into these folders here these are my most commonly used apps obviously which is why I have them in folders uh but the first folder is pretty self-explanatory this is just the Google folder uh with with with with uh just a bunch of Google apps that I use on a daily basis uh second folder is the social folder so uh Facebook Twitter um Instagram uh Snapchat which I actually don't really use all that often uh XDA uh for browsing XDA forums and Feedly for catching up on my tech news and folder number three is my tools folder um so I have the calculator the Android Weare app um Moto connect which is for the Moto 360 uh PayPal um and this is the default motor roler app for uh the Moto X for controlling um Moto display uh moto voice and all that stuff uh assana which is a task

with each other here Android authority is through this app here and uh these two apps down at the bottom are Android Weare apps so watch maker and Warface uh collection I think it's called and the last folder I call it the favorites folder but it's basically just any games that I'm currently playing and also any photo related apps so I have Zedge and the gallery obviously uh and Zed is just a is just a wallpaper app um and this is the app that I use whenever I want to download any wallpapers for my phone and all the wallpapers are really high quality uh but that is pretty much it that is uh all the apps I use on a daily basis but I'll go ahead and swipe through my app drawer just so you can see um some of the other apps that I have in here not all of these apps I some of these apps I actually don't really even use I just still have them so um but you can see everything that I have in here I try to keep my apps to a minimum I don't like to install way too many things and just kind of get carried away uh with a bunch of stuff that I'll probably never use so uh but that's pretty much it as far as my apps go and uh but yeah hopefully you guys found something in here that might interest you and uh but yeah that's it uh the Moto X 2014 is my daily driver and those have been the apps that I use on a daily basis okay hey guys uh Joe hindy here um and this is my Galaxy Note 3 this has been my daily driver since late 20133 um I I haven't upgraded it in a long time because you know as you can see you know it doesn't really lag very much and I really don't have a need to uh to upgrade it at all so I've been keeping it around and you know I know it's supposed to get lollipop here very soon and that's always really exciting um on my home screen I have you know basic stuff email uh Visual Voicemail Play Store my messages and all that stuff so you know nothing really special nothing really unique I do have the flashlight there just in case I need it um um over here I keep all of my uh Social Media stuff all the utility stuff that I use because uh you know I like having that all in one spot I always know where to go to get it so it's like oh yeah you know just swipe to the left if I need to get to something like you know my bank or you know go to shopping or social media or any of that stuff as you can see you know it's a big huge device and even I have

it unfortunately but you know my team has been doing pretty well as of late so that's always good um you know it's weird cuz like I'm the app guy so I'm supposed to have like more stuff than everybody but I actually keep my devices pretty clean because I do review so many applications that I don't want all that stuff just hanging around there so I you know I keep the bare minimum on my phone and when I'm done reviewing an application unless I'm deciding to keep it forever I generally uninstall it so you know my devices are pretty clean and uh I do believe Gary is up next hello everybody Gary Sims here from Android authority what have I got on my Android smartphone well as you can see I'm using the Google Now launcher and basically I like to keep all my screens fairly cluttered I don't

their widget right below there this is my home screen it simply uses uh the Google Launcher and these are the apps that I use used most uh frequently um I'm also a big fan of double twist double twist is a uh media player and it also is used to convert uh my very large iTunes library uh to my um Android devices so that is a really great way that you can automatically wirelessly sync I've talked about that before but I love it very much and this is slack slack is the um online collaboration tool that we use on the Android authority team and I thought when we initially started on slack a few months ago that that would just be another tool that you kind of have to be burdened with but uh slack is actually really good it's engaging I like it we all use it it's a fantastic thing I've also talked about any do that I use every day any do as a task manager uh kind of reminder that for some reason is able to keep me on track uh consistently without being pestering and I really really like that now as you guys know I'm a pretty hardcore calendar geek I've spent crazy amounts of money on the best calendars but I still keep coming back to Google Calendar I had lots of hopes for it after the lollipop update the material design but unfortunately they've taken out a proper month view I mean they have a preview month view but it's just not the the same it's not what I want so I'm on the hunt again for better uh calendar apps that does everything that I want it to do I use Google keep quite often just to uh take notes and pictures and store them in the cloud and all that good stuff on my second page just is the you know I have prayer books games uh you know I'm big Angry Birds and quiz up guy uh you guys know I love daddy long legs I played that for quite a while with other Android authority hosts assana is our task manager that we use as a team and and I use Flipboard quite a bit too for my news a little bit of Snapchat but that is really about it I try and keep it clean and minimal so that it's fast um I don't I don't root at least I haven't rooted this phone because I haven't really needed to it does everything I wanted to do it's super Snappy never lags and uh yeah obviously these are all my cards I use those cards quite a bit if you guys have any other questions please put them in the comments below I'll be sure to read them and answer as many as I can hey guys Ash here and I'm just quickly going to show you what's on my home screen and what sort of apps I use on an everyday basis so my phone is rooted and I use the Google Now launcher in conjunction with exposed the module I use is the exposed GEL settings now let me just quickly find that so I can show you now this allows me to have everything that Google Now offers but with the functionality of something like Nova I tend to keep things quite simple so you'll never really see too much on my home screen I like to let the wallpaper shine through I have the appy gamer widget which Aggregates gaming news and underneath that I have the Google Calendar widget which I love over to the right we have the appygeek widget which like before Aggregates uh Tech news and also General news underneath that we have the Google keep widget which I use in conjunction with Evernote it's great for taking and inputting quick notes theyve made a quick selection for you to show you the apps that I use on an everyday basis first up we have Ender Mondo which is a fitness app that I use to track all my runs and cycle rides it offers a really nice interface with good functionality for tracking the various stats secondly we we've got F1 reader now I'm into Formula 1 and this is a great app for keeping up with all the news that may happen moving on there's thinging which is a great network analysis tool there's blacklist which gives the ability to block any calls that don't meet a certain set of parameters so for example you could set it to block any numbers that are private or any numbers that aren't part of your contacts other than listening I normally use two apps and they're quite simple the first is the simple FM scrobbler and it does just that scrobbling it's awesome secondly there's song kick which tracks the artists that I follow via Last FM and inputs them into Google Calendar finally for the last bunch of apps there's pin out I am often making cables and this app is a great reference for any formal soldering to find out what terminals are to be paired with what the last two I think you will know the first is ES File Explorer which in my opinion is one of the best file explorers out there it has great functionality and then there's pocket for those who don't know it allows you to save articles for offline reading and there you go guys that was my home screen and also what sort of apps I tend to use on a day-to-day basis thanks for listening and back to you Kevin thanks Ash and this was Android authority what's on my device now before you leave make sure you
