I have just got a new Samsung Galaxy ace phone and I wondering which Android apps to put on to it
Rainwatcher
RAC traffic free
Ringdroid
Shazam
The ones I use all the time are more system things than apps themselves, to get the best out of the handset, so:
2g/3G switch shortcut (select between WDMCA, GPRS and WDMCA/GPRS so that you can keep a stable connection in variable signal areas)
RVolume - volume profile controls
ToddlerLock - keeps Stoners Jr quiet in the pub 😉
RAC Traffic
Tricorder - Signal analysis
Wifi Analyser - Wifi analysis
I did use gmail unread counter widget, but it stopped working then went pay only so no longer using.
TaskManager - task killer
Best games
Tesseract Gin Rummy
Backgammon
Yahtzee clone
By far my favourite game is trial x, a trials riding game.
Try the free demo, but it is worth paying the few £ for the full game is its miles better
wordfeud....and of course Angry Birds
Evernote
OI Shopping list
Ultimate To-Do List ( syncs with Toodledo on each of my PCs = very handy )
Dolphin Browser
Co Pilot for navigation
Power Amp for music
Shop Savvy barcode reader
Tricorder for geekiness.
Endomondo is my latest fave.
aparatuts is a goog game.
google Goggles is useful.
Kindle reader is my most-used I think... It's not as nice to use as a proper ibook, but then again, it's free and it's always in my pocket.
I would recommend the apps that do the things in which you are interested...
http://www.androidlost.com/ for remote tracking / control etc if the phone is misplaced or nicked.
cheese monkey
elbow finder
rivet spacer
pebble challenge
elbow finder
Lol 🙂
Oruxmaps - seems to do masses of stuff but all I really want it to do is track my route - which it does very well indeed. It's got built-in integration with MapMyTracks so works perfectly as it syncs right after saving (or automagically if I tick the right box).
Usual stuff -
IMDB
GMail
BBC News
BBC Iplayer
YouTube
TweetDeck
Backup Master - seems to backup everything but minor issue with text messages restoring to the wrong contact name but as it's only jokes I've no issues with that.
BT FON - if you are a Bt customer with broadband through them, you can get free wifi connection using the app - you connect to any available BT wifi next to you and login with your details...
dolphin HD browser
Seesmic (for twitter)
facebook (for facebook)
the daily mash app is good if you like the daily mash
Greedy spider
Wordplay
Google goggles is great, useful too
endomondo is the best mapping/tracking app for me.
navfree works well even on a cheapish handset - haven't tried any others though
MM tracker: for my ride planning/ lighting.
A torch app. For finding things in the dark.
Skymap for celestial geekiness.
BBC Weather.
Swype brilliantly clever text input
Evernote synching notes between lots of devices
Sky+
TuneIn Radio tons of streaming radio stations
Timeriffic setting schedules for switching things on and off like alerts for text messages when you are asleep etc
