Last week we announced the new ChurchMag Staff Writers and Senior Staff Writers, and while I was preparing that blog post a few weeks ago, I thought it would be fun to find-out what apps everyone is using. So I asked everyone what their top 10 apps were – and even though everyone had a hard time narrowing it down to just ten – so without further ado, here they are:

John Finkelde says
Trello
Logos
Inbox by Google
Feedly
Pocket Casts
Tripit
Buffer
OverDrive
Chris Wilson says
I’ve heard of tripit but never tried it. It collects information about your trips right?
John Finkelde says
Yes Chris.
It grabs info from your the travel confirmation emails (flights, hotel, car hire etc) in your inbox and adds it to the app and your calendar.
It’s powerful and a must have for travellers
Eric Dye says
Ah, yes, Buffer. Can’t imagine life without it!

Evernote
Wunderlist
Feedly for subscribing, Newsify for reading
Spark
Overcast
Slack
Text Wrangler
Cyber Duck
Eric Dye says
Since moving to PC, I went with Cyber Duck. It took a little to get used to since it takes a little different approach than the usual FTP. It’s done well and the features are really great for free. If I’m still using it in another month or two, I’ll be sure to donate to the project. 🙂
