Example:
Sirius App - Sirius Satellite Radio app allowing you to listen to Satellite Radio.

I am surprised that no one has had Swype on their list. I have recently added the new beta version and for me it is now the first app I will add to a new Rom.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using Tapatalk & Swype

Running a custom ROM... I have installed Catch That Bus, Dropbox, IM+ Pro, Link2SD, Google Maps, Nova Launcher, Play Store, ROM Manager Premium, Root Explorer, Smart Tools, Superuser Elite, TuneIn Radio Pro. That's it.
Used to have Facebook, YouTube, Twitter installed too, but don't use YouTube on my phone, and the Facebook and Twitter apps have gone to shirt just lately. So those three got removed.
Swype annoys the crap outta me... why do I have to download an installer, install the installer, and then install Swype itself? And sign in to get the beta! Tried TouchPal keyboard, just as good as Swype, but I find that I'm actually quicker using the stock ICS keyboard, so I don't have any others installed.
I have all my apps, both past and present, backed up as APK's using a leecher tool. I still keep them up-to-date, but don't have them installed.

I got SwiftKey 3 for keyboard very nice
and got the solid explorer for file manager.
know if want to find a app that improve the sound (like incoming call I lost call because I can't hear them :banghead
any suggestions?

List of "good" apps

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?
Sent from my Nexus 7

I have. Responsiveness is still am issue
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

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!

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

Apps you must install on N7!

I have been playing with my N7 for a few weeks now and have just rooted it ( after realizing my cable wasn't fully pushed in after an hour of banging my head on brick wall).
Forgetting Facebook, G+, Twitter & Games what are the must have apps that should be downloaded to show off the N7.
I am thinking wi-fi killa, Pulse and any other apps that are truly used daily and really have the wow factor on the N7.
Thanks in advance for all the help I have got before joining the site.

I know you didn't ask for games, but granny smith and modern combat 3 are my favourites!
Also if you can install the AOSP web browser, is faster than chrome, which I usually use it only for tab sync

Granny Smith is such an odd game. On paper you'd never think you'd like it but I've honestly replayed the entire game 4 times and counting now.. The replay ability is fantastic..

Whatsapp - Obviously this has to be side loaded but its so much better than on a phone!

... well, I've got an 8GB; so I figure that the most crucial apps to me would be the cloud ones (i.e., Google Drive @ 5GB free, SkyCloud @ 7GB free, Dropbox @ 3GB, and the pre-installed Google Play Music @ 20,000 songs free...)
As a perk, GrooVeIP Free (tablet to phone) is a true Wi-Fi Calling experience on top of the Google Voice app.

Because Gameloft tend not to optimise for Tegra 3 devices and most of their games are laggy. I've got a few Gameloft games and the main culprit of an unoptimized game is Amazing Spider-Man! Incredibly laggy. But some others work fine (for me at least), like Where's Wally Now, Asphalt Urban 7...

I could never get my library to work, but Flipboard has some widgets that I think are similar.

What App do you use?

Let's all share what apps we are using (name and a little info for the app) so we all can have the best apps for root/non root tablet. This include games, drawing programs etc..
Please add just the most awesome apps not every app you have.
So I am with no rooted device and I use -
Castle clash - online game - build your city and attack others.
Nova Launcher - everyone knows it (change the look of your tablet)
SD Maid - clears my temporary files and other - like 2 GB for 6 months.
Silk Paints - it adds cool effects to your Spen.
ArtFlow - for drawing.
What are your best apps ?

Lecture Notes

Here are some of the apps I use the most....
Apex Launcher - The first thing I do when I get a phone or tablet is install Apex. Complete control of over the number and size of icons that can be put on the screen. Many gestures available. Just a wonderful interactive experience that is consistent from phone to tablet.
Pebble - Yes, I have a Pebble watch and love it.
Drippler - This app is a news aggregate app that has news stories specific to the device on which it's installed.
Team Viewer - A remote control app to let me work on my PC from anywhere.
Groove IP - This app works in conjunction with Google Voice that lets me make/receive phone calls on my wifi-only Note. When a person calls my Google Voice number it rings on my phone, PC, tablet, home phone and office phone. Ironically, the tablet and PC start ringing about 3 seconds before the cell phone rings.
Google Voice - This is my main text messaging app.
Touchdown - Connects to my company's corporate Exchange email server.
Samsung Milk - Samsung's new music app that I really like. It's not in the Play Store for the Note so I had to search XDA forums for an APK download.
Chrome Beta browser - I just like it better since it easily syncs bookmarks with my desktop.
Timely - This is a clock replacement that I use for my alarm clock.
7
Auralux - This is a fascinating game that's very hard to explain. If you have Osmos then you kinda know what Auralux is like. Try it.
Pulse - Another news aggregater.
Droid of the Day - A daily app finder
Amazon app store - A paid app for free every day.
Fancy Widgets - Nobody has more weather widget skins than them. Most of them are very pretty.
PushBullet - It's the easiest way to pass links, text, etc. from device to device to PC. If you've been emailing links to yourself to get something from your PC to your tablet then you need PushBullet. It also has the side benefit of being able to display your Android notifications as fly-outs on your PC's Chrome browser. You won't need to pick up your phone/tablet to see what your phone/tablet is buzzing about.
Slice - I buy a lot of stuff online. Slice will parse through my email and keep me up to date on where that stuff is at in the supply chain. And, since it knows everything I bought I don't have to search my email to find a receipt if I want to buy the same thing again.
Wakelock Detector - If your battery is draining then this app will pinpoint which apps are waking up the CPU. Very handy.
Droid Over Wifi - Want to send/receive files to/from your tablet without plugging it into your PC? This is for you.
PicSpeed Wallpapers - This app has the most beautiful wallpapers around. They add dozens daily.
Wallpaper Changer - Combine this with PicSpeed and your background will never be boring.

Thanks very much I will try some of the apps (PicSpeed and Wallpaper Changer are installing right now).

Lecture notes, EzPDF, Kindle, Dolphin Browser and Tapatalk would be my top five if you don't count background apps like Nova Launcher and my clock widget.

I don't know how I forgot this app: Color Note.
It's probably the app I rely upon the most. It's a note taking app that I use strictly for checklists. I keep a list for the grocery store. I keep a list for Costco. I even keep a checklist for the things to take for a UCLA football tailgate party. I have dozens of list.
But the best part is that it's also a cloud app so that the lists are all synchronized between devices. It's also shared with my wife. I drive by Costco on the way home and when I stop there to get gas I look at the list to see if my wife has put anything on the Costco list. If so, I stop in and pick it up. I put things on the Trader Joe's list and she picks them up when she shops.
It's such a simple and wonderful app.
