Just a quick post on 10 of your most used apps. You can list more or less if you want and the order doesn't have to be highest to least used. Just a list.

Optional: You can give a brief explanation of each app if the title is not self explanatory.
Thanks

WOW! lots of good apps I wasn't aware of. Maybe I'll try a few.

BTW, you can list additional apps if you want to. It's hard to list just 10 apps because we have more favorites or more frequently used apps.

Thanks to all
