I have loads of apps on my iOS devices and my OSX but i want to know what is your favorite/mostly used apps on iOS and/or OSX?

Annoyingly for me it is Whatsapp, purely because that is what the majority of people I know, use as their messaging client. Much prefer iMessage but not everyone I know owns an iOS device.

Second to that is Mailbox and Sunrise.

Mac: ReadKit (used to use Reeder, prefer ReadKit anyhow), Evernote, TextWrangler, Caffeine, Moom, XtraFinder, Steermouse, VLC, The Unarchiver, VirtualBox, Handbrake, Max, Tag, Dropbox, plus the majority of the commonly used Apple apps (Safari, Messages, Mail, Pages, Notes).

XtraFinder, Moom, Steermouse, VLC and ReadKit are particularly recommended (the best available for what they do IMO).

iOS: Reeder, Evernote, Dropbox, Safari, Mail, Messages, Google Hangouts, Hullomail, plus a bunch of games and few other small apps.

I've just come across and OSX app called Flexiglass which I'm quite liking. It brings some useful features to window management - including the Windows 7 style 'snap' which I've really missed. It's available for a trial from there website.

Try out bettertouchtool while you're at it, it has the window snap features too alongside a load of customisation abilities, and its free!
