What is your favorite oh so special app you cannot live without?
I like a TON of apps, from games to entertainment and so on and so forth. but, my favorite app is....
*drum roll*
SLACKER RADIO.
Not only is free streaming radio, you get to pick your stations and you genres. Unlike pandora where you must type your favorite artist/band etc... You can pause skip and favorite songs.
Pretty awesome. I would be sad without it.
So tell me, what is your favorite app?
I absolutely love Lithium Music Player... Eliminates the need for an album art grabber because the one built in is incredible! Plus the graphical interface is very cool!

ePocrates, for work.
Love the fact that the beta android version seems to run faster than the iPhone version, and is also much easier to read with larger font
Second favorite app right now is probably the game Air Control
Tippy Tip, Aldiko, AndroNote are runners up

I love Beautiful Widgets. I don't think my phone would be the same without it.

A tie between Slacker radio (i even subscribed for the monthly fee) and Beautiful Widgets. quick question do you know how to "fine tune" the station on android? i could do it on my iphone but cant find it here.
I never new knew you fine tune it. I will check on my sisters iPhone and see what you mean.

I think beautiful widgets is a given, it makes the phone. I love the mobile buzz widget and get excited any time my vibrant is the subject. Also adw launcher and curve fish widgets. I just can't decide!

Honestly I think I'd have to say the good old stock web browser. I use that more than anything. I've tried alternative browsers but I always come back to stock. The gestures and add-ons in dolphin are great, but the browser is just too slow imo.
And of course I love LP plus and Slacker.
Beautiful widgets, launcher pro, slacker radio subscribed, hd youtube app(replaces stock so I can watch hd as default) ebuddy, photo funia, xda app

Doggcatcher. Podcasts make up about 80% of all listening that I do and that app has saved my sanity on the Android platform. Best 7 bucks I ever spent.
Id have to say that SetCPU is my favorite. Sure I dont interact with it that much, but it makes a world of difference. It allows my phone to run at blazing speeds when needed and then throttle down to near nothing all very quickly and automatically as needed. Now I have awsome performance but on a battery that lasts me all day.
Close runners up are mypics, screenshot, and a few games. Actually I just thought of something, a tie with setCPU will have to be One Click Lag Fix as it has taken my handset from lame to badass in no time at all.

Thanks for mentioning this. Great app. I really dig the slide up menu for artist,track,genre search because it really makes for a one handed operation. Man its really nice. The album art grabber worked great for a few albums I didn't have art work for.
These two are my fav on ipad2, flipboard for social news and planetary for visualuzing music collection.
Do screened some in android market, none I found good enough to ....
Any app you found good?

I would highly recommend pulse. I use that app more than anything else and on the tablet the split screen is really nice.

Try the following:

My favorites are Feedly and Newsr currently. Several more are in beta stages.

thanks for these suggestions. i tried news 360. its user interface is nice .... and reminds me of flipboard somehow. before any updates from above apps mentioned , ifeel news 360 acts more reasonable for 10.1.

I love pulse. A preinstalled app that doesn't suck is great.
Pulse is okay, I hope flipboard comes to android.
It would be nice but I recently took a survey with News360 and they're currently working on Twitter/Facebook integration. It could possibly help me forget about Flipboard.
Man...if only I could code, I would have started working on an app just like Flipboard called Scrapbook. LoL. I wouldn't be surprised to see Flipboard appear on Android sometime after Christmas. I still wonder if Apple doesn't pay some of these developers not to work on both.
It seems silly as anybody who can program, can just take your idea, change it a bit and put in on another marketplace.
with that being said , flipboard to me ,also is far more better in providing iformation than any apps i tried on android os.
just by searching word 'cancer' , in these apps vs flipboard , one can clearly see the difference ....
hope flipboard coming to android soon ...

Another thing is that they need to make the content more customizable and give more consideration to the individual preference.

That is true.
Apart from the tremendous claim for their attractive layout, this is a real problem.
There is not enough personal customization of content, and most often, the status updates chronologically.
Ive never had the chance to play with it but having seen reviews, I would really like to use planetary on android.
I would pay 4.99 on the market for that
What do you mean there is no Flipboard-like app? Theres Google Currents which is superior
I was currently searching for planetary. Only thing i found , was this thread.
Can someone port it for android? Or am i asking something incredible?
I have flipboard installed on my tab. In the play store says isn't compatible but you can instal it if you download the apk from other source. Once installed the app says in the first time open that is not made for this screen size but works perfectly!

These are some of my favorites
Quickpic - can't believe nobody's mentioned this since the stock gallery is horrible
Grocery IQ - autosync with spouses phone so when you add or delete from the list, it shows up on the other person's phone within a couple of minutes of opening the app.
Handcent - much better messaging app than stock...I even have my LED set to purple!
Ad Free - have to be rooted - especially since most of my apps are free
SoundHound - almost as good as Shazam but is unlimited...Shazam only allows 5 per month unless you got grandfathered in
KeyRing Rewards Cards - hate carrying those little cards around since I don't have keys to carry
Battery Circle - since MoPho only reads battery in increments of 10, this app reads in ones
AirControl Lite - free little game that's a good time waster

+1 for wizz, just installed it and the widgets are pretty nice!
Another vote for Android Pro Widgets. Works as well as FriendStream.
Leaning towards flip board. Haven't felt either out long enough tho.
I like pulse better than both

I second feedly, after learning of Google Reader's demise i've used nothing but this and it's fantastic.
I prefer Pulse myself.
You can see more headlines at once and then decide which stories you want to actually read.
I find having to flip through every story with Flipboard and Currents annoying.
But I can see how they could be appealing as they are more like flipping trough a paper magazine.
I like Google Currents if I want to read from a specific source. Swipe left right to switch between new sources and up down to scrollbetween articles. So convenient! I llike flip board for the compilation of articles or news from various sources at once.
I'm used to flipboard.
So im gonna stay with flipboard
+1 for Feedly. Not perfect but good enough. I can't stand flipboard and especially currents. Too much gloss. At least with Feedly, I can make it look more like Reader.

Pulse for blogs and news, flipboard for pictures . Addicted to both
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Pulse is too condensed making it hard to read full titles, Currents I feel like is not as intuitive and simple as Flipboard. I mainly use Flipboard on my note 2 and ipad.
I'm a fan of currents, personally.
