What's on your phone?

Recently, I put together a list of top smartphone apps to share at my neighborhood Home & Garden club and thought it would be fun to share here!

What are your favorite apps?  How about your favorite fitness apps?  I love MyFitness Pal, Mind Body Connect app to book my fitness classes and my Up band (and app!)

Enjoy!
