What apps do you like and why?

I thought we'd get a thread going on cool / helpful apps available in the market or web.
Lets try to avoid only putting the name of the app. Tell us a little about the app. It doesn't have to be a story. Please provide a link to app found online only.
Games apps are welcomed.
Ex. NFL Mobile, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8469781&postcount=628 gives current stats and scores. <-----I don't have the app installed so I don't know why it's any better than one off the market. Feel free to tell me why.
I like Silent Toggle Widget cuz it allow me to go from volume on, silent, and vibrate, from my home screen and only takes 1 icon.
Handcent SMS allows me to avoid small MMS pics and slide shows which are in the default messenger.
I like the game Alchemy. You start off with 4 elements and combine them to create new ones. I think theres over 300 combinations but I've only come up with 40ish. It's addicting.

FeedR. Great RSS feeds app, also has excellent sync with Google Reader.
Touiteur. I feel this is the best Twitter app out there.
Fruit Ninja. Very very addictive. Awesome fun. Open Feint makes it better.. as I always strive to get higher scores against my friends.
Tapatalk Pro. The best Forum surfing app out there.

Mp3 music download- it let's me download all the songs I
Want to my g2 for free!
Tikl- push to talk with your friends. Like a walkie talkie.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2

Google Voice - 2 numbers 1 phone?? What can be better.
Gameboid - Who doesnt love classics.
Handcent - Better than the default texting app imo.

Tech Buzz - it gives me my daily dose of android news
LED Light - Much more handy using the bright light from the led flash to look for stuff in the dark rather than the phone screen.

Because you can watch the NFL Network 24/7 stream lag free...for free...and SNF games for free....if you dont get the NFL Network..like me...its great

Firefox for Mobile 4 (beta), syncs my bookmarks, awesomeness...

LauncherPro = 7 homescreens, silky smooth, Sense style pinch preview, drag to un-install.
doubleTwist = Music player that looks a whole lot better than the stock
LED Light = turns your G2 into a flashlight, its a widget so that makes it quicker than having to open an application.

What are some must have apps

Just wanted to kno if im missin out on some good apps.

Battery Monitor Widget (free)= gives you up to the minute updates on how much power your phone is using (or getting, if you're charging). The widget tells you your battery life and clicking on it gives you several options on viewing exactly how fast your battery is draining.
Subsonic (one time donation of ~$10) = my favorite app ever, it sets up your computer as a server your phone can access so that you can play EVERY song you own without having to load it to your phone. I sold my iPod after getting this because, hey, I don't need it anymore. My 32GB iPod Touch is nothing compared to streaming all 300+GB of music I own. Audio Galaxy has a free version but if you haven't been keeping up with your id3 tags, you're screwed.
If you don't like the sense news widget you can get feedr. Not sure how much it costs though, it's a nice alternative and works very well. They do basically the same thing except feedr gives you more options and it's easier to find the rss feeds you want to subscribe to.
Other than that, I just use sense widgets. Hope this helps.

Yea thanks alot im a look into the subsonic app it sounds pretty interesting

Not all of these are FREE, but look into them anyways.
Customization
Launcher Pro/ADW Launcher - These replace your launcher, or homescreen. They allow you to change a lot of the way the phone looks.
Widget Locker - This replaces your lockscreen, allowing you to change that like a homescreen. You can use custom unlock bars and even add widgets to your lockscreen.
Widgets
SwitchPro - This is my most used widget, its a transparent bar that allows you to turn on/off system settings. I use it for my 3G/4G Radios, Wifi, Bluetooth, and a quick button to turn my phone on vibrate and mute my media.
System Info Widget - If you look at screen-shots around here, you'll run into this widget. It monitors your Battery, Temperature, RAM, Disk Space, and free space on your SD card. Its a handy tool to check how much space you really have.
SMS Unread - This gives you an icon for Email, Messages and Phone that has a little bubble to show if you have new Email/Text/Calls. I keep it on my lockscreen, since my notification bar is hidden.
Applications
APK Installer - Install APK's downloaded from the internet. As you spend more time on XDA you'll find a ton of custom APK's, free programs, and beta releases.
Titanium Backup - This is the MUST have APP if your going to be trying new ROMS, it backs up your apps and data so you don't have to go through the tedious task of reinstalling them all.
AdFree - Removes Ad's from your phone. First thing I install personally.
Lookout - Mobile security, find your phone if lost through GPS, Wipe your phone remotely, backup all your data, and scans for malicious APK's.
Apps are a funny thing though, It's half about functionality, and half about what suits you personally. So I'd recommend you dig into the market and check out XDA to find the apps that you can't live without.

Thx for the subsonic..... trying it out shortly
Sent from my HTC Evo

Check the link in my sig, it has a big list of apps that I use.
I haven't used it in a while but I preferred Mecanto over Subsonic because it is free and actually loads your music onto their servers so you dont have to leave your computer on to listen to your tunes.

MIQLive - Cloud management app (http://miqlive.com/tour)
Dropbox - Cloud Storage
Handcent SMS - A great SMS application

I used Subsonic for sometime the only that really got to me was the fact that you had to keep your computer on all the time if you wanted access to your music library.
I recently discover Mecanto, it's free and it stores all of your music on their servers, meaning you can pull it up anytime anywhere without your computer having to be on. It's truly amazing! Many people havent heard about it but they are doing a great job. I'm not sure how long it is going to last free, so if I were you I would get it ASAP. It doesnt have all the tweaks as subsonic but the music is streamed in CD quality and it's fine.
As far as other must have apps...
Handscent
Wireless Tether
Pulse - Amazing news reader and very easily customizable
AdFree - blocks ads...lots of debate about this one...
Dolphin Browser
Dropbox - Probably the God of all other apps
Epistle - Takes notes on your phones and automatically syncs with your dropbox! I use this all the time!
Folder Organizer - If you use folders this is the app to have!
Sportacular - to keep up with sports, sends you realtime updates
Music Junk - stream and download music for free!
TV Show Stream - Watch tv shows free on your phone
Where's My Droid - God this comes in handy all the time
Zedge - download millions of ringtones and wallpapers
Wordfeud - it's scrabble, play with friends or

The best app in my opinion that streams music from your pc is audiogalaxy alot better then subsonic and its free.

Yes but audiogalaxy has a 3GB limit. Oh and your computer needs to be on as well.

IPCam viewer lets you look at traffic cams in your area (if you have any). Quite nice for watching traffic or weather.

[Q] What would be the best set of apps to install at first ?

Hi,
Coming from symbian/winmo phones, the S2 will be my first android phone, what would the best apps to install right away -input, launcher, navigation, etc. (I don't care about games, and I don't mind paying for my apps).
Thanks in advance for your help.

Pulse is the best news app.
Google Maps is the best nav app.
Launcher Pro is my favorite home replacement.

Google Goggles
Opera Mini
Callmeter NG (data count calls sms..)

astro: mentioned before, best file manager
chrome to phone: send stuff from your chrome browser directly to your phone (note: works with both chrome and firefox!)
dropbox: send files directly from your pc to your phone
google maps: navigation etc etc
msn talk pro: best msn client
root explorer: file manager with root acces, nice if your a bit more comfortable with your phone and you want to place stuff in system folders
simi folder: nice free folder manager (very customizable)

skype: not the best app, but hey, skype on your phone.
soundhound: best music recognition app (similar to shazam, but a bit better)

thinkfree office: nice office package (also reads pdf)
titanium backup: best backup app for me
google translate: handy if your abroad all the time (like me)

JetCarStunts: really addictive platformerish game
Modern Combat 2: nice fps
Speedx 3d: strange reflex game, highly addictive
I have some more stuff, but these are my recommendations!

Thanks tennis11, okorn and stitch !
I understand your point stitch, it is a little bit like if I was asking "what would be the qualities I should be looking in a GF ?" We are all different, and our choices in anything including what we install in our phones directly reflect who we are, what are our personal interests, etc.
Still, if I could avoid going through 3454 web sites and 234 threads to discover what's the best rss reader or nav app, I would be very happy
Therefore merci beaucoup for the time you spent answering me guys !

and on the top of it, you will see a fair share of complete android noobs (like me) who juste made the move because of THIS phone !
Sorry in advance for the large number of basic questions we will ask the seasoned android warriors over here...

i'm one of these noobs too
thanks for asking JohnDoe01, and thanks for answers

Yeah I do understand, as I mentioned, thats why I gave my complete list. For rss reader you might want to try BeyondPod podcast manager, its the best rss feed reader imo.

Pulse news reader has a nice layout. Free aswell

AudioPlayer
MIUI player (don't think that this is in the Market, but there is a link for it on this forum)

tTorrent (lite). The paid version allows unlimited d/l whilst the free one allows a max 250kB/ps, which is quite adequate.
All these app are available for free on the Market (bar MIUI player, which is freely available). however some have paid versions that offer better features. LauncherPro comes to mind. I bought this.

That was a nice collection. Allow me to add more.
In alphabetical order:
1Mobile Market: As great as the normal Android market, has some additions IMHO.
aMetro: Subway maps for various countries.
App Update Notifier: As the name says. You can also schedule updates check.
AppRemover: Best uninstaller out there.
BatteryCalibration: As the name says.
Cache Cleaner: As the name says.
Dual File Manager: Best file explorer IMHO (Root Explorer is great too if you want to access the system, but this one has a better interface).
FasterFix: A fix for applying fast GPS lock.
HD Wallpapers: As the name says.
JuiceDefender: Best battery saver out there, truly makes a difference.
Maxthon: An excellent browser indeed. As well as xScope.
MoboPlayer: Best flv videos player (Am not sure if SGS2 plays flv by default).
Mp3TaggerPro: Best tags editor for your music tracks.
MultiTasking Pro: Visual task switcher (Something like the good old task manager, back in WinMo days ).
PhoneUsage: Statistical reports for your usage (calls, SMS, and data).
Plume: The very best Twitter app out there.
PowerAMP: The very best music player out there.
SD Speed Increase: As the name says, makes a difference in reading/writing speeds.
Smart Keyboard: Best one IMHO, as well as SwiftKey.
Where's My Droid: Excellent one, if you lost your phone, just SMS it & it will ring.

NoLED is pretty handy - it shows a little sprite on your screen if you have a missed call or unread text etc, and uses very little power because of the SAMOLED+. A bit like the glowing trackball on the Nexus One.

can i download the apps on the pc and then install it on my phone?
If yes how?
and where can i get the apps to download from?

Try market first.

I personally think spark 360 is an excellent app for xbox live costs about a pound but well worth it if u have xbox

Music downloader and other requests
I've just arrived at Android, having spent the last 18 months with the HTC HD2 and would like to try to find some similar apps to Winmo ones that I particularly miss (I don't miss the phone though...).
My wish list is for the best Android versions of;
Scilor's groovedownloader - absolutely superb free mp3 downloads
SPB Backup - saved my sanity on many occasions
iGo Primo - Great offline sat nav
That will do for now, if there are any suggestions out there.
I am loving this phone.

What apps do you recommend? Would be nice if you guys could post a description of the app next to it

1. Open Playstore
2. Browser through best free and best paid apps
3. Think about what kind of app you want then search.
4. Don't post something like this again.

Gtasks for android und ios
Beautiful widgets
Pure Messenger widget
Pure Kalender
Folder organizer
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9300 mit Tapatalk 2

I personally would recommend,
Android pro widgets (widget set with calendar,... highly customizable),
beautiful widgets (widget set with many clock widgets and loads of themes),
tasker (root needed) (make jobs at time, place or any other condition like app starts [turn on wifi,...]),
titanium backup (root needed) (app and data backups),
gta3(^^),
chrome beta (chrome for phone with direct synchronization of bookmarks, open tabs,... to desktop chrome),
ultimate call screen (fullscreen hd callscreen replacement),
ttorrent (torrent client),
solid explorer (pretty nice tabbed file explorer),
swype beta (keyboard where you can draw the words over the keyboard instead of typing them)
and everything from chainfire what is usable for our device (root needed)^^
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9300 mit Tapatalk 2

1. onenote - note taking app.. notes, memos etc.. syncs online and onto your computer. apps are available on the iOS too
2. double twist player (for itunes syncing.. I guess you'd need that if you are coming from an iphone)
3. ES file explorer - just a file explorer but capable of lots of other things once you root your phone
4. Swiftkey - keyboard that predicts your next word when typing.. pretty good and can save you time

Fancy widgets is better IMO than beautiful widgets. Nicer clocks styles.
Simple Calendar widget. Activate 4x2, multi skin to get loads of lines for diary entries, then shrink back to 4x1 to save space.
Pocket
S Baro - free from Samsung on More services
Amazon Kindle
BBC Iplayer.
Shaman, shop savvy
Zite
Google Sky Map
Amazon, amazon mp3
eBay
PayPal
Syrious scramble - great word game

Light Flow, cant stress enough on that one. Fully utilizes SIII's LED for notification.

NOVA 3..
s3 runs it smooth..

It's all very well ripping this post, and he could have phrased it better, but the guy has a point. There are no such thing as "must have" apps. It depends what you like/want and is entirely subjective. So you'd do just as well looking at the list of top apps on the Play Store (where you effectively get the recommendations of millions) as you would reading the opinions of those who post on this thread.
$0.02

I prefer user on xda give me opinion than million on playstore.
Some apps that people posted earlier are on my list.
