On my phone, I have 100 apps
The common apps that I use are fitness apps, music apps, TV apps, language learning apps, and social media apps.
I have these apps because help me each day and are necessary to me, specifically music and social media apps, the others I use rarely.
The thing that makes me dislike an app is the use that you can have of that app, and also if the app consumes a lot of battery.

I have about 15 apps on my phone, I use Whatsapp to communicate by chatting with people at work or with my family, I also have a fitness app to record my jogging's miles on it, also a bank app to receive through it my payment, and I use "youtube" to watch videos and listen to music, that's all.

A big part of our lives is based on the time we spend on these apps, we must be more careful at the time of download them.
