A list of my favourite and most used iOS apps, most of which are also available on Android. I haven't listed those exclusive to iOS in order to minimise the overhead in maintaining the list accuracy!
Some are obvious, others less well known.
If you know of any app which is not in the list that I should try, please let me know!
