I'm trying to find useful apps. I know a lot of people come in here looking for very specific apps. I just want more apps that I can use so I'm wondering what people here find to be their most used, most useful, best apps that they have found.

And I'm referring to non-native apps. I already have...

360 Panoramic
Trailers
Hanging with Friends
777 Poker
Chess with Friends
Sudoku
Shazam
Best Buy
Chase
Wells Fargo
Dropbox
Wallpapers HD

What do you guys like?
 
Of the non-native, I use these a lot (no particular order):

1) Facebook
2) Echofon
3) Stitcher
4) Pandora
5) Spotify
