Your choice of apps

After hearing about LINE from a friend (which is like WhatsApp but free incl. Voice and Video Call) I'd like to know what Apps you guys use mostly for communication.
Not just the actual messenger apps but also what others you have to make it a fun experience for you!

Same friend also suggested me SwiftKey. Best. Thing. Ever. Will be worth the 4$ for me honestly (though I've heard that that's horribly expensive comparably but I don't even mind honestly)

What other apps do you use (e.g. to track your period? xD there's crazy stuff out there) and how much did they cost?
Do you even use them frequently or is your phone just full of them and you don't even get to use half of them? (Also, is there a good cheap/free GPS App that possibly functions worldwide? xD)

Trying to figure out must-haves and more or less useful ones that may be good every once in a while but that won't take up too much space.

Go ahead and share your experiences/suggestions etc!
Happy Basiling~~

Here a poll for what Communication App you use!

@Nashi I read that you downloaded SwiftKey, so I'm already assuming you use android.
Here we go, "must-have" apps/just apps that I own:
Airdroid - This app allows you to control your phone from your computer. It's ideal for texting people on your computer since it's easier to type on a computer, and you don't have to deal with repeatedly picking up your phone to reply to texts. You can do other various things such as transferring files wirelessly, etc. Check it out.
Any.Do - Just a simple task app for reminders, etc. Kind of annoying if you don't use it a lot, because it prompts you to make reminders.
Clean Master - Cleans up your phone by clearing RAM, removing junk files, etc.
Flipboard - Combines literally every website that you read for news into one super app.
Google Keyboard - I used to own SwiftKey until I got a new phone and tried out this instead. I honestly think it works way better.
Greenify - ROOT only. Basically hibernates your apps that would be working in the background, wasting battery.
Juicedefender Ultimate - The ultimate app to save battery, comes with advanced options, and definitely a must have. Try the free one first, though.
Pie Control/PiePro - This is literally the MUST HAVE app if you're into accessing your favorite apps anywhere, instantly. It's one of the first apps that I download when I get a new phone/android device. Seriously, try it.
PlayerPro - A paid app to listen to music. It's not a radio app, it's just an alternative to your stock music app.
Sleepbot - A smarter alarm
SayIt - If you've got too many apps that it takes pages to swipe through to launch, use this app to "say" the name of your app and it'll launch it for you. Costs money.
Themer - The very first app that I download when I get a new device. It's too awesome to explain, just get it and try it. 100% Must have. In fact, here's a video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKfnzawQFYU

Heh, and for Messaging apps, I suggest trying out GoSmsPro or something along those lines (it's called that, but I don't remember if the app has spaces in the name). You can customize it and all that jazz. I also use Hangouts and it now supports SMS/MMS. Really great stuff.

I use WA the most since most of my friends still use that. Would love to try KakaoTalk though their stickers/emojis are awesome <3
