I know there is a sticky to discuss apps that specifically support the IP4, but I'm curious as to know what free apps out there are a must. With thousands of apps in the app store and the top 50 free mostly games, I want to know what others determine "must downloads", and why?

I miss my JB apps...FWIW

Thanks in advance!

Thank you thank you thank you so much! i have been luking for a nice app that'll let me do BASIC adjustments like cropping, changing brightness, contrast etc to a pic and couldn't find one. But this is just perfect! Can't blv it's free!!! :D

Neway some of my fav apps are:
- Planets (nice little app for that curious astronomer in u, and if u fancy seeing a 3D Mars)
- 5-0 Radio (it's fun to tune into the neighborhood cop's walkie talkie once in a while)
- Stanza (coz it has access to the whole Project Gutenberg books.!!!)
- Touch OSC (sooooo beautiful to create ur own little apps with Processing)
- Pandora, Flixter (for reasons ppl mentioned above...)

games:
- Archetype (awesome graphics i cant blv i can play such an FPS on my iPhone)
- Samurai

i like fring too. hope they solve their ruddy issues with skype. :\

other apps im trying out based on recommendations above- Layar and iHeart Radio
