If you could only have/recommend 5 APPS ?

[JoeJxn]

I've had my Droid for a few days and so far:

1) Assistant Free (PageOnce) - Great free app to let me know how my funds are doing, what all my recent transactions are, and what my upcoming bills are going to be. I can also check my Netflix to see what movies I have on my queue, I wish you can edit your queue though.
2) Meebo - MSN, AIM, Facebook chat, and others all in one app. Awesome
3) Handcent SMS - Makes Messaging look alot cleaner and sexier.
4) Cestos - Simple but fun game that you can play online, and you can chat with people in the lobby. And it's free
5) AppBrain - Found a few good apps in here, love the recommendations section

Honorable Mention: Beautiful Widgets - Decent app, I don't get why everyone loves it. It's just like Fancy widget but with a couple extra features that are worthless for me.


Worst app: Facebook - God this is horrible. I don't get push notifications, and when I do have notifications, I have to load up the mobile site to check them and clear them off my list. I should be able to check and clear them right in the app.

This app is worthless and I think I'm about to uninstall it.

I'll add a few that I haven't seen mentioned but I use all the time:

OpenVPN Settings: Still a pain to get things set up but well worth it to have a (nearly) always on, secure connection back to my home/office. This program makes turning on/off the VPN a 1 click affair.

Wardrive: Constantly scans for WiFi access points and puts them on a map.

IP Cam Viewer: Lets me see my security cameras from anywhere. Simple configuration even for my oddball camera setup.

Docs Pics: Basically another file manager but allows you to upload/download from Google Docs and Picasa.

Screeble Lite: Keeps my screen lit up if I'm holding the Droid or even just prop it up a bit but otherwise allows it to timeout quickly if I just set it down.

Some honerable mentions would be:
Pure Calendar Widget
Note Everything
Web Sharing
K9 Mail
Remote RDP / Remote VNC
Mobile Defense

I cannot live without my alarm clock, camera, an insulin calculator application for my son's newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes on his sixth birthday [!!!!], better contacts, and led flashlight. I doubt a day goes by without me tapping on them.

Navigation, Find Starbucks and Google Goggles have all helped in a pinch. I remind my Husband that he is deaf, w billboard bot and Astrid makes him love me more when I remember to get the laundry with its help.

I believe in anti-virus too but recently found out that your phone will go berzerk if you are not utilizing the recommended provider tool. Apparently mine was going crazy because of an anti-virus. Only took two visits to the store.....sigh. I think the guy that finally fixed my phone rocks and needs a raise.

OK mine have changed since I posted a month or so ago. Mine to date are:
1. xScope browser. Fast, customizable, easy to manage. I love this browser.
2. Handcent: Txt messenger app. So much better than the stock. Easy to use, easy to customize.
3. gDialer. A widget that allows you set profile pictures on your home screen to use as a one touch dialer for frequently used contacts.
4.FolderOrganizer lite. Let's me group app's into folders, change the folder icon to something I like, and put the folder on my home screen. Keeps my screen less cluttered, better organized, and cuter!!
5. Sirius XM. My new favorite app!! I love that I can take my XM with me where ever I go. :yahoo: Well worth subscription fee 2.99 month.

aps

I love Car Mode so I can keep it auto on speaker when driving
Tip Calc (obvious)
Key Ring (get discounts without carrying annoying plastic)
Bubble Breaker because I've never gotten over that addiction
Friend Stream (easiest way to keep up w/Facebook, etc.)

 

[audioscience]

When it comes to music apps I love both DoubleTwist and Cubed. I'm starting to swithc between them. There is a good comparison here.

My other top apps are Xscope, Touiteur, SugarSync, Docs to go and Wordup.

 

[audioscience]

Oh, and Pandora. That's huge but kind of obvious.

I have read all 25 pages and found a bunch of new and awesome apps thanks! All of my top 5 were already mentioned but one that every husband I have that I didnt hear mentioned was:
Super Call Log Faker
This App is a must for all those husbands out there whos wives swear that we didnt call them. Let me give you a transcipt of last week.
Wife: Why didnt you call me today!
Me: Hunny, I did!
Wife: No you didnt I have no misssed calls on my phone
Me: Look its right here in my call log, see for yourself...

Allow for custom call log entries, including time of call, number and date...

Figured Id pass it on for all those guys out there!

Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! going to look for this in a few, after the wife goes to bed.
