I want to start utilizing my iPhone on a greater level than I have been. Sure, I use it all the time for basic things like: phone calls, texting, internet browsing, tracking my bicycle rides, checking the weather, listing to music, creating reminders and to-do lists, and checking my bank account, but I still feel like I'm missing out.

I know there are some amazing apps out there. (There's an app for everything, right?) But, to be honest, I don't entirely love browsing the app store with the current way it categorizes and sorts apps. There's just too much junk and confusing ratings for me.

So, if you use your iPhone for everything from brushing your teeth to changing the oil in your car, what are some of your most recommend apps for day-to-day life?
