Although TechSpot regulars are mostly about desktops -- and all the tinkering, tweaking, customizing, and performance-squeezing that comes with it -- there's no denying that for most of us mobile devices are increasingly becoming must have items in our tech... Read more
Have to Agree with Netflix, Spotify, Evernote, and Gmaps. Additionally: Cloud Magic (more robust mail client - I use for bypassing corporate exchange security policies) Trillian IM (Multi Protocol IM client) Remote Mouse (For lazy changing of Netflix on the couch, etc.) Teamviewer (Remote software for managing multiple PC's on Android) Copy (Cloud Service) Swiftkey Keyboard (Pad Android Keyboard) Strava (Map my bike rides/runs socially)
Mine is an asus android tablet. after finding "Timely Alarm Clock" I've found an actual use for the thing. There's also "Scanner Radio" to listen to the police scanner in my area and "Tune-In Radio Pro". other than that I've never really found much use for an android tablet other than an addition to my collection of useless tech junk I've accumulated over the years.

My favorite app is my own Stolen app, which emails your exact address to you every time the phone is turned on in case it's stolen. It costs $5, but you can make an additional $10 from google for referring it, according to a techspot article. Work for me. The conclusion I've come to is most people don't download anything but the free apps. My suggestion to google is to charge a minimum of $1 per app, so we can make some money. There are others but they've been hacked.

WhatsApp and my banking apps. Everything else just takes up space as far as I'm concerned. I seldom use anything but those. Heaven knows my phone came preloaded with a whole bunch of waste of time sh!tware which I've disabled. I'd like to remove them altogether but I'm not interested in rooting my phone. Oh yes I almost forgot, built in Google Maps is a Godsend, far better than my old Garmin.
You too eh? I'd still be using my 8 track stereo if I could get cartridges. If if ain't broke, don't break it is my motto.
I have an app (can't remember the name) but what it does is that you press a few numbers, wait a couple seconds and then you can hear someone talking to you and you can talk to them.
1. Google Maps 2. Viber 3. News & Weather 4. FB The above I use daily.. a lot. Apart from that other essentials for me are.. (even though not used very frequently) ColorNote, Mobo Player and CamScanner
Don't own a cellphone, was given a Tablet, given that I have the Wi-Fi off, I use Kindle reader and Adobe Reader. I did turn the Wi-Fi on yesterday and rooted it, so who knows what I will get up to.
I have a slew of apps but I would only say are few are essential: Opera, Gmaps, Gmail, IMDb, Evernote, 8tracks, MLB At Bat and ESPN Streak for the Cash. Does 8 still count as a few?
If you have to take off your shoes to count them up, then that's more than a few... So yeah, 8 counts as "a few". (Unless of course, you're wearing mittens).
