Favorite App so far.... Developers please see link to Announcements above.

so far for my entertainment i love Google Music

from a security standpoint I am extremely impressed with Avast Mobile Security. This is totally geared toward the root user, and blocking internet access on game games like Angry Birds eliminated ads. It also has Theft Aware integrated...and its free to boot!
 
Game-wise, I'm going with Assaulter. No other Android game I've played has such detailed graphics and music, and it plays a lot like an older console video game (maybe SNES-era) that requires a joypad and a few buttons, yet is playable with one finger...
 
I've been listening to Scanner Radio a bit. Vlingo is my favorite for as much as it does. Then there's Tasker that can't be beaten. For utilities I downloaded SetCPU. It sped up my Captivate to the point of not looking for an upgrade right now. I use Mapquest for GPS. And I use Foursquare and Facebook but if you leave FB running for too long it'll wear out your battery power. It uses about 30 MB of memory.
 
SpeaktoIt, it's the bomb. Just like it say's...Speak to it, does a lot of thing's. Just about anything related to your Droid. :)
 
A few of my favorites.

Right now I'm very impressed with AirDroid.

Network Signal Info works great if you want to check your network connection strength.
https://market.android.com/details?...=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImRlLmFuZHJvaWQudGVsbmV0Il0.

Parkometer for keeping track of the time on parking meters and finding your car if you don't remember where you left it. This has become more of a problem as I've gotten older. :)
https://market.android.com/details?...sImRlLmphbnNjaG9wcGVuaG9yc3QucGFya29tZXRlciJd

PlayerPro is my favorite music player at the moment. I try others and always go back to it.

I like mahjong and Random Mahjong is my favorite.

Password Manager, LastPass.

Bookmarks, XMarks, now owned by LastPass. Lets me sync and access all of the bookmarks on my computer from my Android phone.
https://market.android.com/details?...1bGwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLnhtYXJrcy5hbmRyb2lkIl0.

Best weather app I've found is Weather, Radar, Alerts, Quakes by Elecont software.
https://market.android.com/details?...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5FbGVjb250LldlYXRoZXJDbG9jayJd

Volume Control + Pro if you want to control and lock your different volume settings.
https://market.android.com/details?...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5jYi52b2x1bWVQbHVzUHJvIl0.

Favorite grocery list is Mighty Grocery. I love being able to just speak what I want and have it added.
https://market.android.com/details?...sImNvbS5taWdodHlwb2NrZXQuZ3JvY2VyeS5mdWxsIl0.

Keyboard. I didn't use to care for swype type keyboards, but it didn't take long for Flext9 to become my favorite keyboard and I've tried most of them.
https://market.android.com/details?...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5udWFuY2UuZmxleHQ5LmlucHV0Il0.

Browser. Lots of good ones, but I still like Dolphin HD the best.

https://market.android.com/details?...=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm1pa2Fkby5iaXpjYWxwcm8iXQ..

Scheduler/Planner: Pocket Informant. I like the different views it gives me. It's always synced with Google just fine for me. I hope they make it compatible with ICS before I get the update. Kinda' pricey, but it's about half price right now on Amazon. ($4.99)
Amazon.com: Pocket Informant: Appstore for Android

I almost forgot Taskos. Still playing with it since it's fairly new to me, but I do like it so far. Another one that uses speech to text.

Network connection app is LTE onOFF. I know Verizon says not to use it, but it gives you more options than their built in network switch and is basically a shortcut to dialing *#*#4636#*#* on your keypad which takes you to Verizon's own advanced settings.
https://market.android.com/details?...1bGwsMSwxLDEsIm5ldC5hbmRpcmMubHRlb25mb2ZmIl0.

LastPass and XMarks are bundled for $20.00/year. To me it's well worth it, but others may disagree.

Probably one or two more I'm forgetting, but I use these every day. Most of these are the Pro, or paid versions, but most have free versions available. If I like an app I try to buy it and support the dev.

Hope these links work.

Guys any suggestions on a good freeware to calculate daily expenses. I like Easy Money but it's paid.

i have used some really bad free ones that are not worth mentioning and have used easy money and still do i agree you might just have to pay for it and if you use the amazon market they have given a few finical apps as the FAOD
 
Why not just get My Backup. You can back up your contacts, or everything. My Backup is free, or My Backup Pro is on sale in the market for $2.99 right now which is about half what I paid for it.

Thanks for the suggestion pat. I've had some issues in the past with backup apps. Some of my contacts actually got deleted and duplicated :(.

How long have you been using My Backup?

I did some research and found this new app coming out. Maybe it will be an answer to my issues. meetdextr.com

Google sync???? It's built in your phone or export then to your ad card

I think the key to that would be her last sentence. "I'm looking for something that I can trust"
Sometimes my contacts sync, sometimes they don't and sometimes, (like now since I got a new phone), they just disappear. You also have to remember to save them under Google and not Phone which I sometimes remember and sometimes don't.

With My Backup, I know I can restore them even if Google can't find them. Backup of the backup.
