Must have apps?

Ok, just got my mytouch today, and wondering what the "must have" apps are for this? Free or pay, what's good out there?

Papi jump is a must
beside games, Rings Extended is handy, so is Battery Widget.

down load the apppack from t-mobile and there are some good ones there. digital voice mail and fresh face (gives you more screens, although i paid for open home, more skins free and paid.)
search for a task killer. good for when phone boggs down. snap shot is a great camera- zoom and stuff.

Help_clean_me - cache clearer
Task manager
Estrong Filemanager (works over samba)
Quick Boot
Babbler
Tone Picker (use mp3s as ringtones/notifications)
Twidgit Lite (twitter widget)
AnyRss
A few that i use and find i load whenever i flash my phone

Astro (cant live without it)
Abduction (most addictive game)
Flixster
Tunewiki
Picsay (fun app)
Taskiller/ Advanced task manager
WikiMobile
Nav4All (free nav app, works quite well)

This sounds interesting I may have to find this...

App Dragon (1.22) - Helps to share your app list or just send to yourself
Barcode Scanner (3.1)
cab4me (2.7.0) - Find cabs in your area
G-MoN (1.3.5) - Wardriving
Linda File Manager (1.4.1)
Mobile Defense (1.2.5) - Find your lost phone
MuniAlerts (2.0) - SF Muni times
Share By QRCode (1.01) - That
Shazam (1.2) - Song ID
TaskPanel (6.3.2) - Task Killer

Transdroid (0.13.5) - Remote torrent UI
TuneWiki (1.7) - I mostly just use it to listen to shoutcast stuff

Yeah I've been looking for a utorrent app too. I'll have to get on this. Oh I forgot about shazam, too, that's a pretty cool one.
Looking forward to biowallet though, looks potentially impressive. It's an iris scanner for phone security and password storage.

It's called transdroid.

WINNER - Transdroid

That's what I felt like when I turned off the Shutter Sound in Camera 360... but honestly, the camera "KAASHIIISHK" sounds is cheesy, lame and just all around loud and annoying.
If I could change it and/or turn it down, I'd be happy. But no, I'm forced to go find some other app that lets me at least turn it off.

Heytell actually works on the Gtab?

My favorites are:
Google Reader
Evernote
Dolphin browser HD
Winamp: but would love to get MIUI player (Can't find it for gtab)
awd launcher
Aldiko: Best ebook reader
Skype
Documents to go
Dropbox

I love Google Earth, N64oid, and flash... because i cant have them on my aria

Yep, but it doesn't use an "account" like interface, so you have to send all of your requests again. Hopefully they'll fix that with an update.

2. Words with friends
3. Amazon Appstore
4. Titanium Backup
5. Fruit Ninja
6. Angry Birds Rio
7. Dungeon Defender

It wasn't my suggestion but I like firefox more than dolphin hd because of firefox sync and it has several popular addons from the desktop version. It doesn't support flash (yet) so if you want flash use dolphin hd (I just use the default browser when I need flash).

Haha i was thinking the exact same thing! Unless hes using it on a table and scanning items across the top. Like a grocery store checkout.

My 10
10 Apps I couldn't live without (but have, admittedly, in the past, before smartphones and tablets)
1. RepliGo Reader - I'm a grad student and read mountains of PDFs daily. This app has made my whole world different.
2. Springpad: Nothing can compare to it. It's free. It's versatile. It's simple with a lot of depth.
3. Drobox (and Titanium Media Sync - together they're great). Whole semester sync'd between my desktop, laptop, and tablet. I don't even take the laptop out anymore!
4. Business Calendar (hands down my favorite calendar app - both for the app and the widget). Stunning.
5. FeedR: people will disagree and I don't care. This is a great feed reader. The layout of the articles makes sense. The widget is phenomenal to have, and not annoying like some others.
6. Aldiko Ebook Reader - Great ebook reader. That's all.
7. mNote - One App that does 1 thing really well - minimalistic cloud text notes. Nice little reminders.
8. Titanium Backup (a swiss army knife for you tablet if used right).
9. QuickOffice: Thank you quick office working directly with and through dropbox, google docs, and my local folders.
I'm never not able to reach my stuff quickly or save my notes some place where I need them.
10. WinAmp (It really whips the llama's ass). You sync with winamp on my PC. I forgot about winamp. Still a great media player!!
Honorable Mentions:
* Miren Browser
* Skyfire Browser
* Just Pictures
* Rock media player
* Firefox Browser
* MobileNoterSE: Because I still need my onenote notebooks even in absence of my laptop for clinical outcome measures, reminders, and notes. Onenote is a powerhouse application. This is only on the list because there isn't anything else that reads my onenotes on a tablet.
I admittedly am not very consistent with my browsers. Miren is my fav, but sometimes firefox or skyfire just do something better. Didn't like dolphin for all the bells and whistles. Opera and OperaMini didn't do it for me either.

Favorite apps

Thought it would be nice to exchange recommendations on apps for the HD and HD+.
My favorites are:
- ES File Explorer (I use it mostly for file xfer between the Nook and PCs on my LAN or in the Cloud - Google Drive for me)
- Text+ (free texting to others on their cell phones or other Text+ users, they actually give you a phone number. Can do voice calls too but not free. I've only had it a short time but seems great so far)
- Ruzzle (a word game, free version is ad supported)
- Words With Friends (but I'm having to run an old version due to problems with the latest on CM 10.1, at least at CM's default of 240 PPI on the HD+)
- Titanium Backup (good for backing up restoring apps and data, needs root, so probably not as useful on Stock)
Sent from my Nook HD+ Running CM 10.1 from emmc

To name a few apps that get the most use are
Plants v Zombies
Broken Sword 2
Plasma Sky
The Bards Tale
FF III, IV
Pettsons Inventions Dlxe
Root Explorer
Andro Zip File Manager
BS Player
Nova Launcher

Here is my list:
Flipboard
Mantano reader
Diceplayer
Box
Root brower
TTpod

I forgot to mention Readability. Its a reader for articles you've marked in your browser to read later. You get a chance to read your articles with nice font and layout, and no ads.
Sent from my HD+ running CM 10.1 from emmc

My Favorites Android Apps
1Weather cause you need 1 good weather apps and has good widgets
AdAway speed up browsing by blocking ads (not on Playstore)
Amazon Appstore it installs to any device, unlike Google Play Store
Appy Geek stay current on news
Aviary great photo editor
CameraMX good layout, lots of features
CamScanner replaced my home scanner for email documents and saving receipts digitally
CifsManager download big files directly to you shared hard drive, useful if you don't have memory card slot (nexus 7)
HBO2Go, Netflix, A&E, History Channel, Fios Mobile- Game of Thrones, Big Bang Theory, and a 7" tablet 7" from your face is like a 50" LCD TV
ES File Explorer I use back up feature for apps that the Play store won't let me install to my tablet, but will for my phone. BT transfer and install. And search feature to find shared LAN drives, and FTP works good also. This is my favorite app of all.
FBReader- reads almost all book formats, available on almost all device (winCE, Nokia N800, Symbian, Linux, Windows)
Folder Mount Jelly Bean 4.2 won't let me move App/Games to my microSD card, so this is the work around because Dark Knight Rises is 1.81GB
GrooVe IP- free VOIP calls. Verizon minutes run out fast if you are sharing, free calls over 4G, 3G and Wifi if you have data MB left over.
Instructables- the Man version of Pinterest
LCD Density- how tight can you get your DPI, helps minimize scrolling, like having high resolution monitor.
Micro CPU Monitor- system getting laggy? watch your CPU usage
Minecraft keeps family entertained for hours
MX Player hardware acceleration for almost any video and audio type. Like VLC but for Android
NZB Leecher+- download from newsgroups on the go?
Opera and Opera Mini right now its the fastest, has sync but switch to Chrome engine, have to wait and see
QR Droid- bar codes have so much information and also for getting price match
Screencast- record you Android screen, I like to make "How to Videos"
TV Stream- links to websites that stream shows and movies, might not be legal (not on Playstore)
Wifi Analyzer: tweak router antenna for most gain
XBMC - turn almost any HDMI Android device into a media center
:good:
On my blog I have a list of 127 Free Games for Android (all have LINKS to Google Play Store to download). Found list on XDA.
