but you can't add a bunch off apps.

The minimalistic phone has no web browser and its screen is paper-like similar to that of some e-readers. In its simplest form, you can call, text, set an alarm, and use it as a hotspot, but there are add-on tools that include a music player, notes, a calculator, directions, and more.

Sure sounds like you can to me.

many dumphones have these functions.

calculator and GPS is not what most people think of from the phrase "a bunch of apps"
