Thanks for the help!

You and your friends don't have an iPhone, but you want a top 10 productivity app list? May I ask why?

Here's 10 I use:
Documents by Readdle
Scanner Pro by Readdle
Cam Scanner + l OCR Scanner
SwiftKey keyboard
KuaiBoard
iZip Pro
Dropbox
Box
1Password
Google Translate

Why? Because they're useful.

MS Office
Office Lens
MS Translate
MS One Drive
Infinity Calculator
Infinity Converson

I just noticed you specified iPhone. I don’t use MS Office on the iPhone (Except Outlook), only on iPad/
Laptop.

I travel the world for work (at least I did) Office Lens is great for scanning receipts.

Translate does a great job.

Infinity was a paid bundle, worth every cent. Powerful calculator with many modes.

I’ve also installed MS Math, but as of yet I haven’t tried it out.

These are the ones I use across my iPhone and iPad.

Goodreader - PDF reader/annotater that can hook into OneDrive/Dropbox/etc. I adore this app and hope the devs continue to upgrade it as time goes on.
OneDrive - Glorious to have access to my 1Tb storage in a decent file structure on my phone
Apple Mail - I use this for my work email account
Spark - I use this for my personal email account. I prefer to keep email account in different apps to avoid sending mail from the wrong account, which i've done.
Cozi - synced up calendar and shopping list with my good lady wife.
Duolingo - I'm brushing up on my (very, very) rusty Spanish
Lastpass - Because who can remember the thousands of unique 16 digit, upper case, lower case, number and special character passwords that we are supposed to have...
SAG-AFTRA - I'm an actor, so this app allows me to pay my dues, book classes/seminars and keep up to date with my industry
Zoom - Sad to say that many of my classes/seminars/meetings are now online due to COVID, and they all use this app.
Clock - Yep, the default clock. If it wasn't for this, I would oversleep, or my home made bread would be burned, or I would miss weekly chats with family back home, etc.
