Productive: Maps, check the stock market, read non fiction/Wikipedia, pay bills, translate voice or text written in a foreign language, use as a bike computer or GPS tracker, hail a ride/taxi, rent a bike, communicate with people.
Fun: Read books/comics, amateur photography/videography, puzzles, listen to music.
Purposefully left out apps that cause doomscrolling and addiction.
I don’t trust the phone browser anymore after I had it crash during a payment. The money was sent, but the token wasn’t sent back to the website.
Thankfully we now have instant bank transfers, so the state of the browser doesn’t matter.
Anyway, I still prefer to take out the laptop for serious stuff like payments.

Yes, addiction is not fun. Reddit is not fun and neither is using drugs.
