Apps Every Smartphone Should Have

Now that I have a smartphone, it's time I enjoy in wonders of applications (apps; I like being official sometimes). After searching the Internet, I couldn't find a list of apps that works for every phone. I didn't want games or other useless apps that I'd never use. So I decided to make a general list of apps for either Android or iPhone that a person new to smartphones should get:

• Facebook: self-explanatory app.
• Twitter: To let the world know your short witty thoughts, download the Twitter app to unleash those amazing statements on the economy, politics and cats.
• Instagram: The picture app that makes everyone think they are a photographer. Upload pictures and run them through filters and make everyday life moments look like they matter.
• SnapChat: This app allows you to send quick pictures/videos to friends that are deleted at most 10 seconds. But be warned, the other person can print screen the pic. However, you'll be notified if they do print-screen it.
• Flashlight: 'Brightest LED Flashlight' is the name of the app for Androids and 'Flashlight' by iHandy Inc for iPhones. Use at night for safety if needed.
• Movie Apps: US-'Movies by Flixster', Canada-'Cineplex'/'TimePlay'. Use these apps to find theatres and movie times near you on the go. Also 'TimePlay' allows you to interact with your screen to get SCENE points to watch movies for free.
• iTriage: For those who like to diagnose themselves or are prepping for medical school, this app allows you to learn about diseases and disorders by virtue of symptoms. When bored, browse through this app to learn something new.
• Shazam: For those who hear a song and want to know the name of it, Shazam becomes your best friend. Use this app to find new songs after hearing them on the radio or in clubs.
• Zedge: Use this app to personalize your phone, from ringtones to wallpapers.
• Simple Mp3 Downloader (Androids)/ MP3 Music Downloader Free (iPhones): Download free music MP3 straight to your phone for free.
• Online Banking: Download your bank's app to do online banking and check your accounts. Be careful when lending your phone to others when using this app and make sure you log out.
• Tomorrow's Gas Price Today: Provides gas prices the day before they are posted. Very useful for motorists.

To delete apps, hold onto them and drag them to the 'Trash' bin that shows up.

If you have any apps that you think everyone should generally have that aren't mentioned, or better versions of this apps for Android/iPhone, let me know and I'll add it to this list.
