Vinted
I used Vinted's app a lot this year. With picking out clothes, I put all kinds of things on it. But also bought things like toys. Vinted is constantly expanding, making more categories available. This makes it increasingly similar to Marktplaats, only European. Placing an ad is easy and the advantage is that your ad will not expire. This in turn saves you time and hassle of re-posting.
F1tv
Like last year, F1tv is also back in the list. Since there are 24 races in a season these days, as well as sprint races, it is not always possible to plan to watch the race at home. Then it is always easy to be able to watch on the go via the F1tv app. Besides, you have the option to watch the race, but you can also choose a driver and then have the picture on board.
ANWB Onderweg
As petrol prices remain high, I also continue to use the ANWB Onderweg app a lot. Just like last year. Filter by the relevant fuel and easily see with colours and prices where it is cheaper. You also have the option to navigate somewhere directly from the app. I also use the app for my ANWB pass in the shop or to look up benefits due to membership. In short, a versatile app.
Weatheronline
I do like a reliable weather app. Every year, I therefore like to read the weather app test. Like last year, the Weeronline app was the winner in this. It's really nice that you immediately see the current temperature and what it's doing in terms of dayparts. And at the top you can also see any warnings or tips, for example whether there will be rain in the next hour or if there is dense fog. It also includes a 14-day forecast, which I use a lot.
Flitsmeister
Flitsmeister is an app I have been using for years. Mainly to know where there are speed cameras. But I also really like the other notifications you get, such as a stationary car or that there is something on the road. What I personally also like is the notification when an ambulance is nearby, so I can make way on the road in time if needed. I'm also sure the app has saved me fines.
Other apps
There are of course many more apps that I use regularly, such as Google Maps to navigate and see if there are traffic jams on the road. Socials like Instagram and Facebook. But also Pepper for deals and, of course, WhatsApp.
