@cheesemaker For me, the earliest purchased app that is still in use is PayPal (July 10, 2008).

@teisam Shazam is definitely one of my oldest purchases/downloads as well.

@dejus that's really interesting. I haven't used PayPal since I stopped selling things on eBay. I am half suspicious I have a few dollars on an old account somewhere but I'm too lazy to go try and figure it out.

@Burk what's the first app you remember downloading when you very first got an iPhone?

@cheesemaker from what I have installed right now, I would say it's between Tweetbot, 1Password and Drafts. Of course they all gone thru many iterations but, yeah.

@cheesemaker I use PayPal mostly for consulting invoices and payments. I hardly ever use the app, but it’s nice to have it. Other apps from the same date that I no longer use: iTunes Remote, AIM, AOL Radio, NetNewsWire Classic, Pandora Music.

@cheesemaker Apparently it’s Podcasts (the Apple app—it wasn’t/isn’t a default part of the OS!?)

For third-party apps, thinkorswim and GasBuddy, followed by Merlin Bird ID a month later in advance of the 2015 Great Backyard Bird Count.
