Your Favorite Smart Phone Apps?????? Why? was created by Grady

I just switched from a Windows based phone to an Android based phone. Needless to say there are many, many apps out there. I do want to find a good screen manager so I can get rid of all the crap icons the come pre-loaded on the phone. I did load Google maps and a compass app just because. So what apps are worth downloading. What apps are a must have, and what apps are just fun?

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

Runkeeper if you like to walk or run.
Pandora for music.
Angry Birds....just because.
AndRecord.....you can record messages or anything with it.
Advanced Task Killer for when those apps that get stuck.
Google search for everything internet related.
Facebook....duh!~
Kindle....for those long waits between appointments and hospital waiting rooms.
Dish if you want to set your DVR from your phone.
Easy Tether Pro if you want to be a mobile hotspot....

(That on makes it hard for other local websites to keep track of you LOL)
Groupon or Living Social but be careful....they aren't always such good deals
Scanner Radio if you want to help the scanner folks out when you are 1200 miles away

Urbanspoon is awesome for finding food.
