The stock google maps/navigation app is about as good as it gets.

As for other apps, the social apps (Facebook, G+, twitter, yelp, latitude), google apps are really good. google talk is great, so is google voice & google messenger. Amazon Appstore, youtube, flickr, root explorer, ROM manager, endomondo, I heart radio, pandora. Ad Away, at bat 11, WatchESPN, Cam scanner, Dolphin HD, Google earth, paper camera, skype, superuser, swiftkey x, titanium back-up pro, and the xda forums app.
 
Google skymap is effing awesome. Out of milk is a good list app. Sound hound is good for finding out what that song is you heard. Slacker radio is a cool app. I also have the nfl app. MyFitnessPal is pretty cool for tracking calories and other food stats. Also Evernote is helpful. It's hard for me to remember them since I'm typing this on my phone. I might add more after I check my phone,ha.
 
also dictionary.com app. And I got a compass app and a bubble level app. And audible, google music and google +, if you use any of those services. Netflix app, again if you use netflix.

Prolly should have put this in the mobile devices forum, btw
 
can people say wtf the apps are? lol

i love hte GPS that comes with the phone.
Pandora = music radio
whoopee= a whoopee cushion. yeah immature but my kids find it funny
NFL mobile
facebook
google music

thats pretty much all i have. is there any i "need"?
 
For the OP, i would suggest the app:

DOSAGE CALC

Double check your drug calculations for safety sake!

Dosage Calc is an initiative to assist in the avoidance of drug errors. To do this it provides the following range of calculators for the health care professional to double check his/her own calculations:
Volume of Liquid
IV Drop Rate
Number of Tablets
IV Volume Rate
Fluid Maintenance
Dosage Calc works when your mobile is in "Flight Mode" making it very unlikely to interfeer with any equipment.
The application is being offered free during the initial pilot. Please note that it is not intended to be used as the primary source for drug calculations. If your calculations disagree with Dosage Calc, please consult another authority in order to resolve the issue.

Opera Mini - Great for browsing when you've got low network connectivity. It compresses data by about 70% I believe. End result is a much faster web browser. Not a bad idea to use it if you've got a capped data plan as well.
 
Opera Mini is faster than the stock browser
BBC News
Weather Bug
Kindle
A couple versions of Angry Birds
Astrid Tasks (to do list)
Camera FX (Much nicer than the stock camera app on my Bionic)
LastPass (Password Generation and Management)
Lookout - (Antivirus/Security)
QuickOffice
Tapatalk
TuneWiki (Music)
Rhapsody & Napster (More Music) (*Rhapsody bought Napster)
Pandora (Music)
Slacker (Yet more music)
Zedge is OK if you want to play with Wallpapers and Ringtones

It is better to use Opera Mobile and turn on "Opera Turbo" when you want Opera Mini's compression. Opera Mobile is a much better piece of software.
 
OS Monitor for finding the pesky apps that are waking themselves up and running the background. Boat Browser is an example. I had never launched it before but it was starting itself up for whatever reason. Get off my phone!

GrooVeIP use your google voice phone number over data. With a fast 3g connection or Wifi the latency is great and sounds much better than using standard minutes.

A Online Radio for streaming free musics. I usually use this for SomaFM streaming GrooveSalad channel (chillout/ambient electronica).

ScoutMob for finding restaurants near you with hot deals (usually 50% off).

QuickPic lightweight replacement for Gallery App. Much faster to load and scroll through and find photos.

Wifi Analyzer to see the channels that wifi near you are on, so that you can set your router on a channel that's less "full".

FTPServer to create a server on android on wifi, then you can load files off your phone from your computer without plugging it in, very very nice.

GTasks has a great widgit.

OldMarket to bring back the Old Market style before they started trying to cram books and TV episodes and what have you down your throat.

Titanium backup a must if you like to root your phone and switch roms all the time like I do. It's also great for freezing or uninstalling apps which you're not using that wake themselves in the background, like the Gallery app and the Email app. I uninstalled both of those since I only use Gmail.

LauncherPro replacement launcher program, DEFINITELY the fastest launcher App there is out there IMHO, has the smoothest scrolling, love it. Lets you create shortcuts to direct activities, for example composing a new SMS with the stock SMS app and composing a new email in Gmail, I have both as their own shortcuts, just tap (or hotkeyed to the hardware keyboard shortcuts) and it opens a new email/sms. Probably one of my favorites for it makes using the phone just like blackberries of old with their keyboard shortcuts to compose email / sms / etc.
