What non native apps do you use and why? (alien.top)

I’ve been a iPhone user for ages and tried lots of different apps to replace the native iOS apps. As a casual user though I keep coming back to the native apps because they just work across all my devices. So I guess I’m curious what everyone uses instead from a casual point of view

Weatherzone (has a better widget than Weather), Firefox as opposed to Safari. Google Maps as opposed to Maps (as Maps suck bigtime unless your in the United States.)

Guess thats it - most of the other default apps do what they're supposed to.

Apple Maps works really well in the UK. It’s on par with Google maps for me. I think it’ll be a while before it’s decent for everyone though
