I'm fairly obsessed with my iPhone (as is everyone, right?) and I'm a bit of an App hoarder. I go through a pretty steady rotation of Applications because I enjoy testing them out - but only a few actually stick around for the long run. This is a comprehensive list of Apps that I check and utilize daily.

Alright, I don't know if Simple really deserved the 10th spot - considering it's probably my most used & favorite App. But I also didn't feel it was a fair contender because Simple isn't exactly an App - it's more accurate to describe it as a Bank Account with an App attached. And yet - that's exactly why it's fucking amazing. It has one of the best UI's I've ever seen and it allows for super easy budgeting. I highly recommend going to their site and checking it out.

If you're a narcissist, like myself, you obviously need an app that will tell you exactly what you posted on all of your social media accounts every day for the past few years of your life! I have to say, I enjoy checking every day to remember some long-lost witticisms. I imagine the novelty may wear off once a year's worth of Timehop is recycled and you start seeing posts pop up you've already revisited. But for now it's definitely entertaining! I liked the fact that the very first Facebook status it displayed for me was the very elegantly stated, 3-year old sentence: "I want a calzone". Ah, memories!

Ness isn't too revolutionary but I'm a sucker for a pretty, well-designed App. If you're looking for an easier way to find restaurants without having to use UrbanSpoon or Yelp (both of which I'm kind of over) this is a good alternative. It has an easy rating system, with which it determines other restaurants in your area that you may like. I've been using it a lot this past month and it's earned it's spot outside of a folder. Damn, good stuff.

I have no excuse for having or enjoying Haze as much as I do. The weather App on iOS7 (which I am currently using) is actually lovely, and free for that matter, and yet I find myself going to Haze to check the weather much more. The interface is almost disappointingly simplistic. When I first launched it I was dismayed at how little frills there were. But the more I used it the more I realized it was designed to check the weather in the most intuitive/quickest fashion possible. When you open it, the current temperature is very boldly and clearly displayed with a beautiful color scheme (of which you eventually have many choices). If you would like to know a little bit more information (as in the screenshot above) you simply tap on the screen. Mock if you want, but I really love Haze and I think it was well worth my dollar.
