My choice of app for Hive based services is Ecency. Ecency is the most useful place to be for newcomers at Hive. There are quite a few reasons as to why Ecency might be good choice for newcomers as well as anyone on the platform. For newcomers, the Ecency point (ECEN) are very useful. Users get those tokens basically for free. Those tokens are rewarded to the users by doing essentially what otherwise they would have done on hive blog. The users can then use those tokens to promote or boost their content. As a newcomer myself I used those ECEN points to boost my introductory post. It may not seem a lot to the regular users but to a newcomer it means a lot. The promote feature is also very useful as it helps the post to reach more people. One problem newcomers have is that they don’t have much visibility in the beginning. The Ecency promote feature really tackles that problem and gives user the peace of mind. The UI itself is very nice. I like mobile app the most. The mobile app makes it very easy to engage with the community on the go. It is very easy and you also get points for only using the app. This is a win-win for anyone. You are getting benefits only for using the app. All in all, the Ecency is the go to app when it comes to using Hive.

My best service is all about Ecotrain. Ecotrain gives all reason every weeks to develop our ecosystem. Reason to write what challenges you're facing, and the good things about nature

I mean, I only use Ecency. So it’d have to be Ecency. I’m still not that clear on the division between Ecency and Hive, tbh. I’m new on the Hive :P

The best and really overall favorite service is Hive.Blog. It is the backbone of all my favorite apps: Ecency, Peakd, Splintertalk. 
All these apps have only begun, the future of meaningful information sharing and productive social media is today, and we're using it now. 
Monetary incentive or not, I'm all for this. 
Personally, my favorite app is actually Ecency, I've found it to be the best platform for using hive.blog on mobile.

For me it foodies bee hive because I get to see different type of food yummy!  and ecency because it very easy to use no stress 

Actually there are two as ecency and dbuzz.
Ecency because it gives me points for doing activities through it which I can use later on post for support. Dbuzz because I can do micro blogging with less words and they also very supportive and give rewards if our post is excellent. In short both are very supportive.

I probably use Ecency and Splinterlands te most. But I want to promote @actifit because while lots of people focus on financial gain and investments on Hive (which is totally fine) our health is an important "asset". We can't enjoy financial success in a broken body.

Easy, Ecency of course, I recommend it to my friend also. Because it really easy to use, user friendly and very refined just like other well established social media accept Ecency is pioneer of web 3.0 social media. Hopefully because it does seem like it in my opinion.

I use on my PC peakD, ecency and for the shorter messages dbuzz. On my phone I have the ecency app. Ecency feels light and easy to use and I like the point system. On the other hand, I like the functionality of peakD and its editor.
Everything has its pros and cons and I can't tell which one is better.
And yes, I'm playing Rising Star and Splinterlands too. 😁

Hello there! Yes I really like Tribaldex. I am new and just learning, but so far I really like it. I still have barely scratched the surface, but I have staked tokens, dabbled in the diesel pools, and begun to buy/sell the tokens I've gotten. I think it is interesting and overall simple, but it is a lot to take in.  Ow I've been checking out leodex and I do like it as well. It seems like you can do a lot of the same on both, but certain things on only one or the other. Maybe I just need more experience but so far I like them both. It's almost like they work hand in hand... lol!  I think that is really awesome how all these apps work together. I also love how the communities here do the same. It is a great opportunity to have something that everyone can come together, create, and grow! This is theWay!

I'm giving two thumbs up for @beeswap for swapping tokens and monitoring pool liquidity.

https://beeswap.dcity.io/swap

my favorite app used to be ecency until you guys arbitrarily capped the value of a 500 points boost to $3.3 down from above $10. Basically lowering the value of ecency points some people spent a lot of time earning in order to boost posts when hive increases in price.  Sure, Hive's priced has dropped in the past few days but not by two thirds ( i.e the amount points have lost in value ).  Rant over, you may resume doing unexpected stuff with ecency points  and spreading holiday cheer :) 

**Ecency** for blogging/reading. Very good interface especially for beginners on hive blog. If someone has problems with markdown they should start writing on Ecency. It is quick and easy to make a title, add a link, upload an image and even make a simple table. With the recent update we can see our hive engine tokens in the wallet which is also cool.

**Threespeak** for uploading/watching videos. Very good for people who upload videos and sometimes you can get a high upvote from @threespeak. At first it seems complicated but once you get used to it, uploading a video, making a description and adding tags takes no more than a few minutes.

**LeoDex** for trading hive engine tokens.  The only problem is low liquidity in the market but that's not the app's fault. We are waiting for Web3 and the problem will be solved. Then we will surely catch up with Uniswap.

It is nice that there are more and more applications on hive and developers are constantly working on them to make them even better. 

**Thank you guys!**

Indeed it's ecency. I can use Hive on a proper app!
Thx very much for this service. 👌

Good job

Ecency is my best.
I've been using this app for more than 3 years and it has never for once, disappointed me.
Another reason is the introduction of ecency points which I've made some cool cash from my activities. It's a life saver when your comment is found invisible.

PeakD -- ONE feature enables me to regularly produce, and the second allows me to get organized in all that production:

Feature A: Scheduling allows me to put in focused time writing content that I can spread out over several days or weeks to maintain consistency even when life will not allow me to be here writing every day!  I am already planning out JANUARY content at this point!

Feature B: Collections allow me to gather my work together in mini-series within the never-ending sagas I tend to write ... I have created two entirely separate character universes, and in them, groups are living their lives and having their own storylines that people want to read back to ... or, there's a collaboration set or series I do with another Hiver that both of us want to refer back to ... I will be making much more use of collections next year, as I have just started realizing the power of this feature!

Hello. 

hohoho this is where nicholas speaks. have a nice nicholas day. unfortunately without snow here in germany. I wish everyone good health! my english is not the best 😊

Well to be frank and want to be real, I have been using @ecency app like probably from the start and this has kind of replaced Facebook app for me. 

I love the ease of use of ecency. Whether you want to check notifications your feed etc, it's all available at your fingertips.

Now I am not saying this because of the question being asked by Ecency, but I have to be real and honest about my answer and this is my answer. 

It is difficult to choose between so many awesome DApps on Hive from games to mobile and video platforms!
But the ones I use the most almost on a daily basis is Actifit, 3Speak and Ecency!

Actifit speaks from itself as it motivates me to "walk to earn" and it has been my way to keep consistency in posting everyday with their feature inside the app to create reports!
3Speak together with some support of other members gave me confidence and  motivation to start creating videos! I did started with DTube to be honest but as soon as I understood how to work with 3Speak I fell in love lol so easy to use and the support from the team with upvotes is awesome!
As for mobiles I've been through a few like Partiko and Dapplr but Ecency kept consistent in improve and develop so today is my best friend to be on top of things on Hive and especially now at my offline job I can even use it through the browser format when Hive is kind of blocked in the work PC (their firewall or whatever thinks it's a game ahaha but accepts Ecency website shhh)! Not no mention their gamification feature with their points system!

Again, it's difficult to choose one so I hope picking 3 is not too much :)

Ecency is the best for me

In the first place, @ecency itself. From the methods to interact with the blockchain, I prefer it to Hiveblog or Peakd. Not only because it more visually appealing, but I love all the relted to the ecency points.
In second place, I would probably mention @actifit, being a good way at being productive with the aactions I usually made in my every day.

Yes indeed @elianaicgomes has said the biggest truth its really very difficult to choose the best hive dapp.
In my view @actifit app is the best app so far cause because of these features:
* It  counts your every physical activity. 
* Does not asks the presence of internet to count your activities.
* At night it only takes 5 to 10 mins at max to use internet and submit your post.
* Light weight than any other DAPP.
* Runs in background passively without draining your battery and without consuming mobile resources.
* Introduced DeFinance as well within the app.
* Can submit your post both to Steemit and Hive.
* Gives you the option to make same passwords for both above mentioned blockchains.
* Bringing easy to use token bridging from hive to Bsc(Binance chain)
* You can buy physical gadgets from the app.
# Most important feature makes you Healthy by encouraging to take part in Physical Activities Contest.
## They say Health is your Wealth.

I transferred #500 points to ecency and requested for vote with the link below, uptil now the vote hasn't come, post link below

There is nowhere to turn my favorite application is Ecency, for all the benefits it offers, its totally friendly and very intuitive environment, for its token that is earned doing what we like; And something very important, there is a very professional staff behind who seeks your continuous improvement of the chopping ... Ecency is always the best because the best did.

I would say ecency is one the best Hive service app and I would also like to give an applause to ecotrain for their constant rewarding contest for people around the world to learn, gain something and earn hives. Thanks 😊

### Absolutely @actifit is the best dapp. I am a housewife and a seamstress.  Have to look after three kids. Always busy with household chores and activities. All other apps ask active attention. No matter how beautiful or elegant they are, they are useless for me. Cause Actifit helps me to earn online while I do my daily activities.

@Actifit is my favourite among all!

Using since last 3 years. Many Real use cases and solid user base. More than anything, the real cause of motivating people to move. With lot of interesting developments recently, it will go as  no.1 on my list!

@threespeak @threespeak @threespeak 
O yeah, I'm an instrumentalist and I use @threespeak to upload and share my videos. One thing I love about their service is that they appreciate and upvote their users to motivate them. So far, my highest upvote value came from @threespeak and I'm indeed thankful. Although I encountered some problems with having access to my account earlier this year, but it was resolved.

Well, I cannot forget @ecency and the assistance they gave me as a newbie!!! @ecency is on point 👌

@actifit  also helps in the physical activities and contests... 🤸🤸💪💪

Initially, I was going to say that it's Splinterlands, as it's just the best NFT game that we have on the Hive Blockchain.

But I decided to chose www.1UP.Zone as my favorite Hive based service. I love gaming and I love NFT, and I think that having a tribe that only talk about those is great to Hive, more even than a single, good game like Splinterlands.

I would definitely have to say Splinterlands! It is the ultimate play2earn game, and it's right here on Hive. I Complete my daily challenge every day, and continue to stack my deck and DEC.  They keep continuing on making awesome developments. I am excited for Chaos Legion in a couple of days and the land expansion. It's gonna be awesome!

@ecency definitely is my favorite app -- in the past, present and unforeseeable future! The app has ~~so many~~ *tons* of amazing features that can't be found in any of the other apps including points for delegation, posting, comments, reblogging, a daily spin and running fun contests such as this one! The wonderful developers who designed and support the app are amazing and respond to questions/issues in record time! 💯

Ecency is like Rudolph the raindeer. It gives power and has a  glowing red nose that shows the way of Santa Hive. Also brings presents in form of Ecency points. 

I began on hive with Actifit, but have become much more involved with Splinterlands.

Vimm, because it gives hope that a worthy competitor for streaming platforms will emerge in our ecosystem.

My favorite application is ecency because it allows me to publish what I want quickly and also gives me points with which to promote the content.

!BEER

I have to go with peakmonsters.com and it's ability to allow you to easily rent out your card collection making it true passive income.  That's been one of my most recent amazing finds while getting back to being more active on Hive.  But there are truly so many to explore and gain something from.  Overall, the community here is so supportive of each other and it seems like so many great people are coming up with new tools for all of us to use and add to our own online activities.  All around it's hard to beat this community.  Props to ecency for making mobile blogging on the Hive blockchain easy and accessible for all. 

Good luck everyone and happy holidays! 

Hi, my favourite dapp doesn't exist, let's say that to use hive from the computer I prefer Peakd, while from the phone I love Ecency, an application that I really like is LEOFINANCE, I'm sorry it only exists for leofinance, it would be nice to see it all on HIVE too, with some improvements though, for example being able to search for users, something I haven't seen yet...
