Remember when you got your first smartphone?  

iPhone, Andriod, whatever.  

If you were like me, you had every app you could get your hands on.  

When apps were first exploding, it was a real novelty.  

So much so that you ended up with screens and screens of apps, 90 percent of which you'd eventually never use.  

There are some, though, you can't live without and quickly become part of your regular routine – outside of, say, your banking app, for instance.  

Here are the three I currently couldn't live without...  

Hip Camp

It's basically the Airbnb of camping, whereby private landowners let you camp on their properties. We camp regularly, so it's fastly become our go-to.  

Strava

If you're active, chances are you're already on Strava. To the uninitiated, the app effectively lets you track all your exercise activities, as well as get kudos from your friends for staying active.  

Asana Rebel

A friend put me on to this mid-last year. It's basically a holistic resource for being active and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. In fact, it's easily the most comprehensive platform in this space that I've come across.  

I'll also add a fourth – Domain.  

As you'd expect, I'm on it daily or at least every other day.  

I definitely prefer it over realestate.com.au – that's just personal preference, though.
