Folks,

Ok think of those desert island lists, and in this case I'm giving you 1 app. Yes 1 app that you get on your phone. What would that be? For me it's Hoopla, and a supply of audio books to occupy my time! They also have some videos and music that you can download too! I think this would be PERFECT to make all that idle time easier.

So what about you guys? What's your desert island app?

Can I choose Safari?
Then I can get to many things.

Let's assume you get the built in Apple apps AND you get subscriptions etc for whatever app you pick. ;). What 3rd party app would you pick if you are limited to just 1?

If there was no Internet connection, it would probably be a puzzle game. Something that has a truck load of levels to keep my busy for as long as possible. Maybe 'Cut the Rope'.

If there was an Internet connection, it would be the iMore App. Just allowing me to communicate with people here and also allow me to see all the latest news :)

If there's internet, I could access most of what I do there, Facebook, forums, Box for my photos, Twitter, etc. So I guess it would be Superimpose, so I could continue my hobby of working with images/photos.

We'll assume you get free internet or cellular too. NOT sure how that would happen on your "desert island" BUT it does. ;)


The point is what is that 1 app you MUST have!

After some thought, I'd want Facebook, so I could communicate and keep up with friends and family.

Music/movie or reading app that does not require connectivity. (with a bunch of content)

Cheers,

Assuming I have a connection of some sort it would be YouTube. That gets me video and music.

Hmm... I think maybe - MAYBE - the Weight Watchers app, so long as I had access to plenty of yummy food!
