10 best smartphone apps

Some obvious and some not-so-obvious ones (and its not all Facebook and Twitter)

 

[bwana]

Surprised not to see the gr8signal app on the list…

 

[LinuxMan]

"Think of Dropbox as iCloud, but done right.."

 

[AlphaJohn]

Interesting list.

Would add no 1 to be some sort of phone tracking or/+ remote wipe be it Apple's own solution to Avast for Android, anything to get your phone back once stolen.

Oh and for Cloud storage, I use Box, instead of Dropbox
More free space example 50 Gig promo going on now. Also they finally have a PC client under the free section.

WhatsApp would also be on my list if they added tablet and PC support.

If you have a Wireless Router at home, Airdroid makes connecting to your Android devices a simple task!

I would add a flashlight app to that list especially in the South African context. The usefulness of one cannot be under estimated.

 

[BigAl-sa]

Nothing on that list that I use...

Must be a Windows Phone user then, well either that or a Nokia 5110 owner

Android 4.0.4 and 4.1.2
(and another I'm not quite sure of)

 

[roguemat]

Pretty bad list IMO.
And really, Dropbox? There are way better offerings.
Edit:AlphaJon, only FNB and flip board aren't on WP.

I hate the IOS YouTube app. On Wifi it always assumes I want to view the high-quality version (guess it was developed for the US market) and at home my iBurst almost-1-mbps can't cope with it. Ended up uninstalling it and using the mobile website (which has a HQ button you can turn off).

PS: I wasn't mocking the availability of said app's just the fact that most WP users normally say they do not need aps

Does it allow you to Drag and Drop by using your phone to connect to the PC? Or only allow you to work from within the desktop's browser environment?

 

[BANG_Mutha]

Great list...always been must have apps for me!

Included by default in most versions of Cyanogen Mod (in the pull-down menu no less), so I'd expect it to be an option in ICS or Jellybean too.
