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.

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