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

  • 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.
