With 10000 apps what are the essential apps you simply can't live without.

I have lots but not many I would describe as ' killer apps'

Maybe onetapdial is something I find genuienly useful but it's not exactly a killer.

Please let me know as there as so many apps I just don't know where to look.

My list
Penytel
Flickfishing

Then I struggle

BeatMaker (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=285512415&mt=8). Really powerful. There was a huge update some days ago. Now with mic recording and step sequencer. A professional studio for electronic music in your shirt's pocket. Awesome!

For me my essential apps are:

Sorry I really don't have any, there is nothing I can't live without.

The supplied features are what I use most of the time and for me the apps have been a let down -so far.
