Business man here, I use these daily.
CamScanner - It works like this, you take a photo using your phone's camera of any document, business card etc. and it will automatically optimize the image i.e. sharpness, contrast as if it were scanned on a scanner, it will then convert it to a .pdf file you can email. Say goodbye to fax machines!
Smooth Calendar - A widget that displays your next 3-5 calendar events. I stick it on my homescreen.
Power Nap - Set a 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60 minute alarm in two clicks.

Hi,
all these are Just same as the softwares we install in desktop /lapptop OS considering Android as OS(Indeed it is).
After every new flash, the apps that I ALWAYS re-install straight away are;
ROM Manager/CWM
Root Explorer
Tweetdeck

Let me please rephrase myself. I meant when someone states an app they use, put a "what it does" beside it.
Example:
Sirius App - Sirius Satellite Radio app allowing you to listen to Satellite Radio.
My list from a few other threads, but very relevant here since everyone is probably wondering what "app" to get.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnAJoa0-ynONdGJiVDRSQ0p4VGtCaklESmtEbkJzNUE
edit: you guys can add to it ^_^
Great list, a few I couldn't live without:
Badass Battery, 4.7
Mobi Calculator, 4.8
FX File Explorer, 4.7
N7 Player, 4.7
Gtasks, 4.5
DIGI Clock Widget, 4.6
Palmary Weather, 4.5
GasBuddy, 4.6
YouAreHere, 4.7
Navfree, 3.8
Widgetsoid2, 4.6
I've found some of the widgets by this dev are excellent and he supports them very well if you mail him.
The Pure Grid calendar widget has options for tablet size widgets, multiple calendars, colour coding etc.
Also imho HDR Camera+ should be up there with ZoomFX
OP - amazing list!
That is a very clean and comprehensive list of apps you have OP. Thanks for posting... I am definitely going to try some of them out.
Has anyone tried Autodesk Sketchbook Pro on the N7?

Here's my Android tablet list of "best of breed" apps:
GTasks - syncs with Google Notes, has reminders, great widgets. Augments my calendar for many things. Free.
Dark Knight - good tablet chess app. Free+no ads.
AndroXplorer - first-rate file explorer with CIFS support. Free (minor advert), but I bought Pro with my Play credit. Better than all the others I've tried and has proper tablet interface.
SuperSU - fine-grained control of root permissions. Free+no ads, Pro has some sweet features, bought it.
AdAway - prevents ads from even downloading. Probably the biggest performance booster you can get. Free, no ads. This is one of the killer apps that will hook you on Android.
System Tuner - you won't believe the crap that starts up automatically. Fix it with this free app (minor ads). Pro is worth it.
AnkiDroid - Can't believe it's free w/o ads. Flashcards app to study nearly anything, many study decks available. Better than the $25 Anki iPad app which I bought.
Cool Reader - ebook reader, lots of useful features. Free and ad-free.
Aldiko Pro - slick reader, works with most formats, worth the $3.
Apps I'd like but which don't work yet:
Moon+ Reader (incl Pro) is broken on Jelly Bean, doesn't show text. When it works I'll buy Pro again.
Encore Learning Platform - free, no-ads, flashcards app.
If I could have clicked the "Thanks" icon 10 times for supplying us with this great database I would have. But I couldn't so THANK YOU X 10!

MX Player is a sweet video player.
ADW launcher is still a good launcher. I use it on my ICS Transformer. Apex is my favorite though.
WiFi File Explorer is easily the most handy app for transferring data between devices.
XDA App!!!
Rom Manager
Word Feud - online scrabble clone
Android Pro Widgets for scrollable Twitter and Facebook
Thumb Keyboard
Delver - awesome 8bit Dungeon crawling FPS
Sixaxis PS3 Bluetooth Controller pairing.
Tango for video chatting
Netflix and Redbox
Deadly Dungeons - another dungeon crawling game I found today.
Bluetooth OnCall - Enables/Disables BT for calls. Great for headset users to save battery.
DailyHoroscope - its always spot on.
Notification Toggle for CM style notification menu power toggles.
I the above apps are my core apps.
Also my transformer used Polaris Office which I really liked too.
Some apps were mentioned above. I think most weren't mentioned.

Any chance we can get a column on the spreadsheet specifically to indicate if the app is using Holo and/or follows the ICS design guidelines?

I was able to add a few in.
So, for some reason I can only pull this doc up at work. Now my problem is I can see where it's seperated into sections, but the apps aren't organized into their respective sections, they are in alphabetical order. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Josh

Thanks for the work.. love it.. I needed for my own reference guide..
As a flasher I always end up losing one or two desired programs along the way..
Well done..
Can only install third party APP to solve it?
Android Wear has no IOS version, right?
I don't think there's even a bad way, let alone a good one.
Aerlink is the best way so far. Works with most notifications that would show up on the iPhone.
You still need an Android phone handy so you can sync the app to the watch.
You have to download the app from Google Play and sync it to your watch and then you have to download the Aerlink app from iTunes app store (it's not free) and install it on your iPhone.
Here's the thread over in the Android Wear section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android-wear/development/android-wear-ios-connectivity-t3052524
There is an app called wearaday. I have no chance to test it myself
The app shortcut function is really useful.
I love the home and work shortcuts on the Google Maps app for example.
Can we compile a list of compatible apps here from the Play Store.
These would be in addition to the Google's own offerings.
I'll start with the compatible apps I have come across:
BBC Sport app
LinkedIn app
Sent from my Pixel
Backdrops
Sd Maid
XDA Labs
Sync for Reddit
EX Kernel Manager
Substratum
L Speed
^good to see adoption is picking up! ?
To be fair only the recent Nexus range and the two Pixels have 7.1 at the moment so I can understand the currently limited number of compatible apps.
