Just reading through the thread about your favourite gadget of 2013, got me wondering what my favourite apps were, and than what yours are?
There's obviously too many categories and platforms to make this an easy call, so I figure let's go for a few main ones as below and then see if you can pick a best-of-the-best out of them, and a runner-up. Feel free to add more categories, and be sure to say what platform the app is on too, so we can go out and buy it based on your recommendation :)
Productivity
1. Evernote. Still my number one, and the 2013 UI update on iOS is fantastic!
2. MindNode. In my new job I’m doing a lot more project work so having good mind maps is really useful - this app is beautiful. Mainly use it on Mac but also iOS for viewing on the go.
Reading
1. Feedly. A really nice Google Reader replacement. I use this every day on all platforms I own
2. Comic Zeal. I started reading comics last year and this is the best reader i’ve used. iOS.
Games
1. GTAV. Easily my game of the year, played on Xbox 360
2. Tomb Raider. A close second, really great gameplay/graphics/story. Xbox 360
Notable Mentions
1. iOS 7 - I really love the new iOS in comparison to its predecessors. In a year where Mavericks also came out, iOS 7 made the biggest impact on me.
2. Moves. An awesome “quantified self” pedometer for iPhone. Gorgeous design and really accurate (surprisingly)
