Apps for Teams . . . what do you use?

I'm just curious about this. I see articles with titles like, "10 Must Have Teams apps" but then the article lists like four planners, plus Weather, Wiki, and a couple more dumb (IMHO) ones. Does anyone out there have Teams apps they find really useful?

    It will be dependant on the specific Team, but one "App" that I use almost all the time is "website" - I find that adding a URL to the Teams site as a tab is incredibly useful for keeping my students on the Teams site, but also accessing an external website as needed.
    For example, I usually add a tab for our school's website and another for the Learning Management System (where they check their grades 🙂

    MindeaLLC my list is pretty small TBH, but this is what I use fairly regularly:

    • Yammer/Communities app
    • OneNote (if I'm too lazy to open my notebook in another window
    • Lists - probably my most used Teams app

     

    Apps that I don't use but are worth checking out:

     

    • Approvals
    • Shifts for Teams
    • Viva Insights
    • MS Bookings
    • Power BI

    Apps that aren't worth the time or effort:

     

    • Tasks for Planner and To Do
    • Wiki
    • Stream
    • Anything with the word "Bing" in the title.
