Apple

ClevCalc. Stock calculator is just awful. No history, no unit converters, etc.

Gboard. The haptics are more pronounced than the normal keyboard. Plus when you swipe type for profanities the keyboard doesn't stop you from doing so lol

I enjoy most of Apple’s native apps. The only thing for me is that Apple Maps, although great for navigation, isn’t great for search. So, I use Google Maps for search and then Apple Maps for navigation.

I have chrome but I rarely use it, otherwise I use B&N Nook instead of Apple Books

Gmail and Google’s Contacts because they are transportable between Android OS and iOS.

Reddit app. To respond to you right now

Gmail, Google Maps, Spotify

TBH I like the Apple Music app better but Spotify works better for me for music discovery, play a track radio etc.

Google Maps. Maybe ingrained but I have a car with built in Google Maps now and if I search a route on my phone there it is on my car.

Telegram/Whatsapp

Google Maps

Google photos

• Marvis Pro in addition to Music
• Fantastical in addition to Calendar & Reminders
• MultiTimer instead of the timer function in the Clock app
• Google Maps in addition to Maps

Most of Apple’s apps are lacking advanced tools and features. I have to look for those things somewhere else.

If I was a heavy or even moderate email user, I would be using something other than the Mail app. It handles attachments worse than any other app I have ever seen. It’s a disgrace that it can’t return to the inbox after deleting a message. The only reason I use it is because I can’t scroll the full length of an email from the lock screen notification banner without opening the app. No other mail app can do that. I delete 80% of my mail from the lock screen.

Waze for road trips and proton mail for my personal email because you can’t use the native one for a proton mail account.

Dexcom. Am diabetic

Weatherzone (has a better widget than Weather), Firefox as opposed to Safari. Google Maps as opposed to Maps (as Maps suck bigtime unless your in the United States.)

Guess thats it - most of the other default apps do what they're supposed to.

I never use the weather app from IOS

I use ticktick instead of reminders/notes

Spark Mail!

Google maps, chrome, gmail

Google maps. Hate hate hate Apple maps. And spotify instead of apple music.

CARROT weather because Apple weather sucks

Google Maps. My region Apple Maps sucks. And actually after fiddling it with Apple Maps, it’s not as accurate as Google Maps.

Outlook. Native Mail app just feel like a hassle, UI isn’t great as well.

YouTube music as I have YouTube premium.

Everything else is native tho.

• OneDrive instead iCloud Drive
• Overcast for podcasts
• AnyList, Scanner Pro, and NotebooksApp over notes
• Carrot Weather
• Spotify over Apple Music *Google Maps and Wave over Maps

Keyboard. SwiftKey IMO is superior to the native apple keyboard

I use pretty much all of the Google apps in leu of the apple ones. Google Maps, Translate, Google Assistant, Google Calendar... You get it.

All my info transfers senselessly between Windows, Mac, and Android between those apps.

WhatsApp as iMessage users are less here and Google Maps for more realtime information which Apple Maps is lacking in India

Outlook and Google Maps.

Superhuman for email. I mainly use this app on desktop/macbook but the mobile version is good.

Any ideas how I can play gba games on my iPhone yet?

Google calendar & Google keep

I use google apps because they are there on my work windows pc too and we use those for work stuff.

Notes and reminders are okay, but the rest of their native apps are too limiting. They don’t even add simple functionality on most apps.

For instance, voice recorder doesn’t allow bookmarking or pause/ resume recording. Good luck finding important moments in a 60 minute recording.

The camera app doesn’t allow you to pause resume video recording. Every camera app on other phones allows you to pause video recording so don’t have to take long clips or many short clips (for example steps in preparing a recipe)

Clock app doesn’t allow you to choose the snooze time. For some reason Apple decided you can Snooze for 9 minutes and if you don’t like it, find another app, which wouldn’t be integrated into Siri, etc.

Oversimplification of apps with few options ruins many apps.

I’ve used Fantastical for years. The built in calendar app is fine, but not flexible enough for my needs.

Overcast for podcasts.

google mail and google maps, mail mostly because im used to it and maps because they far more better than apple maps in europe, when im travelling i can chrck all the places with opinions and photos from dofferent users straight from the app

WhatsApp, Gmail, Maps and Google Calendar

WhatsApp is used by 100% of my contacts and Apple Maps are totally inaccurate in my area.

I can't stand native Mail and Calendar apps, I'm sorry

Firefox, to sync with my other devices. None of them are Apple, so Safari doesn’t make sense for me.

Google Maps and sometimes YT music and Gmail.

Google Maps, Reeder, Obsidian, Bookshelf, Spark

I use chrome because I hate safari. It also then links with chrome on my computer.

I also use gmail, this is because when we switched internet providers they cancelled my email address and I lost everything and gmail was good and I still do like it.

Stocard for my rewards cards instead of wallet.

Waze for GPS but I have been using Apple Maps because I like the “at the next stop light turn right” which is very helpful when I don’t know the area.

Spotify for music.

Libby for books so I can borrow and not buy.

Google Maps and Gmail frequently.

Gmail and calendar for work and personal use. Chrome because i have saved passwords there from my previous android phone. Google Translate, maps, keep because they are better imo. Google Photos because i sync photos through my personal gmail account and have lots of photos in the cloud from the past 5 years or so.
