My most frequently used iPad apps

I've fallen into the "app trap!" I'm trying to claw my way out by spending less time reading reviews and downloading the "perfect" app, but I keep sliding backwards at an alarming rate.

In reality, when morning's light provides clarity, I'm back using the 10-or-so apps that remain on my iPad's tray (thank goodness for folders). Oh, an occasional stray app might find it's way into the multitasking pane, but a quick home button double tap, hold and delete can chase it back to some buried folder.

Quickly, here's my "Most Frequently Used" downloads:

Used most often: iPhoto, Pages, Flipboard, Downcast, Google+, The Weather Channel, TuneIn Radio, TouchRetouch HD and Artista Oil HD.

Trusted, but not as utilized: Pro HDR, AutoStitch, Superimpose, Photo Transfer and SiriusXM.

Recent downloads eagerly waiting to make the list: Blogsy and Glaze.
