What non native apps do you use and why? (alien.top)

I’ve been a iPhone user for ages and tried lots of different apps to replace the native iOS apps. As a casual user though I keep coming back to the native apps because they just work across all my devices. So I guess I’m curious what everyone uses instead from a casual point of view

Spark for email, because the stock email app doesn't seem to play nice with Gmail.

Google Maps for cycling directions because Apple doesn't offer cycling directions where I live, and sometimes for driving directions because occasionally places I want to go don't exist in Apple Maps.

Overcast for podcasts because I find it to be a better experience in pretty much every way.

A local weather app because Apple's Weather is basically a coin toss where I live.
