The rest of the apps are fairly self-explanatory Amazon, eBay, and my bank's terrible app because I buy a lot of Lego, Google Inbox because email is a necessary evil, and notes because I like the simplicity of it. I have considered Apple Music but it doesn't integrate with my Amazon Echo so that's a no-go, at least for now. ![]() Mac counterparts isn't something offered by a lot of Android apps so coming back to iOS I was happy download Fantastical and PCalc although the latter isn't as much a calculator for me as it is a game that can also do calculations.īefore I used Android I was a plug-in-and-sync-from-iTunes person but I signed up for Spotify the day I got my Pixel and I've been using it ever since.
