What are your favorite 5 apps on your phone?
Five.
WordPress specifically said five.
I understood the assignment.
I simply failed spectacularly at following it. 😂
First has to be Jetpack.
Since I started blogging, it has become one of the most-used apps on my phone. I write, publish, answer comments and, naturally, check my statistics.
Probably more often than necessary.
But we’re not discussing that. 🤐😂
Then there’s WhatsApp, which is essential for keeping in touch with family and friends, and Snapchat, which gets plenty of use too.
I sometimes disappear down the TikTok rabbit hole. There’s some wonderfully funny and creative content there, but lately it can also be incredibly toxic. It sometimes reminds me of X/Twitter, and I don’t have much patience for that kind of negativity.
Then we have Facebook.
Facebook and I are currently experiencing relationship difficulties. 😂
After having my page deleted and being blocked over posts I shared about the Liam Payne case, I’m not sure it technically qualifies as one of my favourite apps anymore.
Perhaps it belongs in a separate category:
Apps I continue using despite regularly arguing with them. 🤣
Then there’s Spotify. 🎶
Music has always been a huge part of my life, and now it’s become even more special because I’m not only listening to other people’s music—I’m creating and releasing my own too.
That brings me to AudioLab, one of the apps I use while working with my music.
And naturally…
ChatGPT. 😂💜
I use it for creating images for my blog and, apparently, emergency technological crisis management.
Yesterday was a perfect example.
WordPress suddenly informed me that there were around 8,800 draft posts sitting on my blog.
Yes.
Eight thousand eight hundred.
👀
I haven’t even been blogging long enough to understand how I could possibly have created that many drafts unless I’ve secretly been blogging in my sleep. 😂
After dealing with that little surprise, we moved on to my email.
Approximately 7,000 emails.
At that point, ChatGPT wasn’t simply one of my favourite apps anymore.
It had become:
“Please tell me exactly what to press before I accidentally delete the entire internet.” 🤣🤣
Thankfully, we survived.
The drafts were dealt with.
The emails were dealt with.
And I announced that I wasn’t touching any more technology that day.
A very wise decision. ☕️
Which reminds me…
Email!
Obviously, email belongs on the list.
And Word, because apparently having a blog isn’t enough. I need somewhere else to fill pages with words too. 😂
Right.
Let’s count.
Actually…
No. Let’s not.
Jetpack. WhatsApp. Snapchat. TikTok. Facebook. Spotify. AudioLab. ChatGPT. Email. Word…
WordPress asked me for my five favourite apps.
I gave them ten.
And considering the day I’ve just had, I’m declaring that close enough. 🤣
Besides, if I keep thinking about it, I’ll remember another one.
So there you have it.
My five favourite apps.
All ten of them.
You’re welcome. 🤷♀️
