What's on my phone?

As indicated on my blog title "Yats' Random Reviews" today I'm gonna be reviewing/sharing insights (lol) on applications I use or barely use on my phone! Let's start from the topmost (left to right)




▪️ Mail (A bunch of emails I don't necessary read 😂)

▪️ Calendar (Do I need to explain this? Lol)

▪️ Photos (bunch of selfies & random shots I take on a daily basis 😉)

▪️Camera (For selfies and whatnot's 🤳🏼)

▪️Finance folder (A bunch of apps I barely use a.k.a. stock apps)

▪️Clock (I use for alarm & timer, also pala for bedtime alarm. A-must!)

▪️Health apps (Health iOS stock app and then Pacer app (Blue background white shoe icon)- its like an online platform for fitness enthusiasts, and I love that I can work out and share it with people who also love to workout themselves. I recently discovered this gem and I think I'll stick to it since I've only been exercising for like, less than a month; I also love that there are events section in this app wherein you can join in, compete and be motivated with other Pacers users 💙💪🏻
Btw, this is a free app but you can get subscription for a more personal fitness trainer/guide if you want to. 😊

▪️Podcasts (This app has a special place in my heart, I feel like users who don't use this app missed half pf their life. Lol seriously though, it's a better alternative for scrolling through facebook. There are lots of podcasts to subscribe to - this app is definitely one of my brain food! ♥️

▪️ YouTube (Of course I can't miss out on my fave YouTube channels 😁)

▪️App Store (Where I download all free apps and ignore in-app purchases. Lol)

▪️ iBooks (Where I feed my mind from different genres of books & magazines - will probably share my virtual shelf soon! Lol)

▪️Calculator (For my random calcutations. 😂)

▪️ Social folder (I'll shamelessly plug of my social media accounts)

  1. Instagram (Follow me @yoyoyats)
  2. Messenger (For messaging friends, even though I deleted my Facebook app 😂)
  3. Boomerang (I barely use this. Why is this still on my phone? LOL)
  4. StumbleUpon (One of my favorite platforms - interesting articles & websites everywhere. When I'm bored enough, I could read hundreds of articles in a day. 😋
  5. Pinterest (This platform way too awesome - I mean, you can find inspiration or motivation just by thousands of related interests! 👏
  6. Twitter (@yoyoyats)
▪️ Safari (I rarely browse in here, unless redirected by apps. LOL)

▪️ Productivity (These apps somehow make me productive. Hehe)
  1. Reminders
  2. My Wallet (A very useful app for Young Professionals (YPs) like me for tracking my daily expenses & income. It's actually very simple. I track my spending and income in here for me to save and budget "stuffs" LOL
  3. Notes
  4. Magic Cleaner (Cleans junk, cache and whatnot's on my phone)
  5. Keeper (This app is where I keep my passwords and government IDs)
▪️ Photo & Video (Disclaimer: Apps not entirely related to photos & videos)
  1. Dropbox (A file hosting app I use to access my files and photos from phone to desktop or vise versa. Very helpful for work, also for personal "stuffs")
  2. Foodie (My favorite and the only selfie app on my phone. Works like magic - you'll look more beautiful, kahit mukhang haggard ka na I swear gaganda ka dito bes! 😊
  3. Shareit
  4. GCash (My previous job required me to have a GCash so I have this app & a debit card, it's quite convenient actually since it's a Mastercard, I can load up my sim (up to 10% rebate), pay in-app purchases, & shop online for the most part. Yay! I think you can also register American Express (AMEX) thru GCash but I haven't tried it yet.
  5. BDO (Online banking)
▪️ Settings

▪️Flying emoji, money, bag folder (lol) I think you know what these apps are for - SHOPPING! Haha! Some apps are also for online bookings for travel & accomodation)
  1. ZALORA
  2. Shopee
  3. AirAsia
  4. Cebu Pacific
  5. Skyscanner (Super recommended for those looking for great deals on airfare)
  6. Traveloka (Another alternative for Skyscanner. I also recommend!)
  7. Airbnb (Perfect for home & vacation rentals, you can also book experiences & tours for travel)
▪️Duolingo (Where I learn other languages - I'm still stuck on my French lessons though, 😄)

▪️Investagrams (I'm into speculating stocks lately and try to learn as much as I can in the stock market. It's a good platform for beginners like me, I guess. You can try virtual trading, live charts, informative articles and such. 👍


▪️Phone (I don't use this much since I have a separate phone for calls & texts so I'm always in Airplane mode)

▪️ Chrome (An all-time web browser for sure)

▪️ Spotify (I cannot live without this app, seriously I forgot what phones were like before Spotify. lol)

▪️ Messages (Like I've said above, sim not inserted on this phone so - no messages, plus I don't have anyone to text so, HAHA!)

▪️Extras (Again, a bunch of stock apps I never use. LOL)

▪️iZip (I know for sure you cannot just download stuffs on an iphone, this app is most useful for zipped or rar files)

▪️eBook Downloader (I use this for downloading free ebooks, hence the name

▪️ Just Dance Now (I got into this app because of my cousin - I kinda like it, you basically dance using your phone as the console. Great for exercise!)

▪️ AirConsole (Also an online video game console, using smartphones as gamepads and play with friends! No need for Wii or Xbox. 👏

And that's a wrap! I don't have much apps. I stick to what's useful, convenient and at the same time entertaining for me! 👍

Suggest an app for me to try - you can comment down below! Hehe 💚💜💛💙
