1. App Protector Pro – Very easy to use app locker. It will lock any app you’ve added to their list and comes in real handy when you let other people use your phone, but don’t want them to have access to certain things.
2. Blogger – The interface is a little remedial, but it lets you view, edit, and post to your blogger on the go.
3. CameraZOOM FX – I’ve purchased several camera apps to use instead of the stock one, and this is by far the best. It lets you customize how you take shots and lets you assign different camera functions to your screen and stand alone keys. It has a very fast shutter and also a lot of effects included, as well as more free downloadable ones.
4. Dolphin Browser HD – Much much better than the stock web browser. Lots of customization with this one, and they came out with an update this week that will allow you to sync your browser preferences and history with your other electronics (i.e., tablet) if you have Dolphin installed on it.
5. Google Voice – Gives you pretty much two phone numbers with just your one phone. Also allows for text messaging.
6. Amazon Appstore – Downloadable from Amazon. Gives one free app a day. Every now and again they have some gems.
7. Printershare – Lets you print via any wireless printer. I’ve used this several times, and it’s amazing.
8. GasBuddy – Finds the cheapest gas closest to you. This on especially comes in handy for me since I do a lot of driving in and around DC.
9. Gold Live! – Shows you real-time precious metals market prices. Comes in handy if you’re into this sort of thing.
10. USAA Mobile – For the folks who have an account with USAA. This app is awesome. USAA is a great bank and this app is worthy of their name.
11. Netflix – An absolute MUST if you have a Bionic and Netflix account. I don’t watch feature length movies on my phone, but I do use it a lot for adding movies to my instant queue, as well as for watching tv episodes. If you have an HDMI dock, this is even better. I’ve used this several times to watch movies on my 40” LCD and the picture quality is fantastic.
12. OpenCaching – If you’re into geocaching, or just curious to try it out, this is a good app to have for it. It’s by Garmin, so you know it’s good.
13. Profile – I have it set up so that my wifi turns off and Bluetooth turn on at certain times of the day automatically. This is saves me so much battery, I can’t even begin to describe how much a ‘must have’ this app is.
14. QR Droid – The best QR code reader, hands down. Plus, it makes it super easy to create your own QR codes for sharing.
15. SoundHound – This app is better than Shazam, imo. Makes it real easy to buy music through Amazon as well.
16. SplashID Safe for Android – This is another must for me. I have all my passwords and info stored in one easy place, and it syncs seamlessly between SplashID on your desktop, or even iPod Touch or iPhone.
17. Tiny Flashlight + LED – The best flashlight app. Allows you to put a widget on your homescreen of whatever flashlight mode you use; flashlight, lightbulb, or screen light. I use keep a widget on my homescreen that uses the LED camera light, and it is super BRIGHT. Awesome on the Bionic.
18. Taptu – DJ Your News – Awesome news app. They have a whole bunch of pre-built news feeds, and you can add and build your own; up to 1000. I absolutely love it and read it everyday.
19. The Ultimate Drive – For anyone with a BMW or who just loves driving. Lets you search through fun driving routes as well as sharing, uploading, and rating your own.
20. BeWeather Free – So much better than the stock weather app. Has so many customization options, and a much prettier widget. I’m on the fence whether or not I wanna purchase the pro version because the free version has pretty much everything I need already.
I have a few games loaded as well, but kept this one just for apps. I’m always on the lookout for app ideas as well, so I think I’ll really enjoy coming back to this thread and seeing what everyone else has on their Bionic. Cheers!! :biggrin:
