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

I agree that's how I like lists. Not only showing the description for the app but also a quick link to the source/Android market page.

As for sleeping's List,
Circle launcher I use this also and it comes in handy on tablets.
Airdroid, I like its view, but for some reason does not show my contact list on my Photon. :mad:
aCalendar, I think I have found my replacement calendar. :)
Photo Calendar all I can say is wow. I love it.

Now let me add a few more..
Recently when I click on the MyApps link in the Market on my Photon 4G phone, it does not show anything. With the "Best Apps Market" app I am able to and the interface is more pleasing than the actual Android Market.
The apps for you feature is very useful and actually shows apps that have been better recommended than the one currently on the phone.
It also has..
A nice Widget to place on home screen.
Ample settings.
Allows a nickname to be used when signing comments.
Also adds a direct shortcut in the apps drawer to your apps.

Combine this with the developers' other app titled "One! Best Recommendations" and your search and management of apps is complete.

Note: most of these apps are free, at least for their basic versions (which are themselves very functional). Have at it!

App access
Circle launcher - I keep this on my home screen for all of the apps that I might like to keep close at hand. Very attractive and highly functional.
SwipePad - Set up a hotspot on your screen and you can call up a grid of 12 apps to access from anywhere on your phone. There are several paid-for extras (for example to expand the number of apps on the grid from 12), of which I've only bought the AppLauncher, which lets you appoint the app drawer from one of the grid spots.

Tools
Airdroid - Many others have talked about it and it is a great app. Essentially performs a similar role to Samsung's "Kies Air", which lets you control various of your phone's functions from your computer over the wi-fi network.
aTimer - A grid of 15 configurable timers and stopwatches. You can label each individually too, if you like.

Calendar
aCalendar - A nice, clean and well-laid-out calendar app. I now use it in preference to HTC's built-in one. The developer seems to have put a lot continued work and thought into improving it.

Search
CloudMagic - A centralised search function to trawl through your Google and Twitter accounts. It works well, but doesn't support as many different account types as Greplin (but Greplin doesn't have an android app).
Evi - The best natural-language voice search app (think Siri-alike) I've used so far on Android. It had some initial server connection issues, but they have now been fixed. It doesn't perform voice actions, but it's worth a look.
Google Gesture Search -Allows you to search your phone for contacts, apps or bookmarks by drawing figures on the screen. You can activate it by turning the phone over and back again (although this drains the battery faster).

Location
Glympse - Location sharing done right. Share your location for a user-determined period of time or until you reach a set destination. Your location can be sent out to phone numbers, email addresses and even Facebook. Highly recommended.

Camera/gallery
Actionsnap - Lets you turn your phone into one of those Lomography cameras with multiple lenses that puts multiple images on the same frame. It makes for some pretty cool effects.
Pano - A great app for making panoramas - the stitching on this is excellent. My Sensation hasn't got an upgrade to ICS yet, so I don't know how this compares to the stock panorama utility on Android 4.0
Photo Calendar - I find scrolling through all of my photos to find the most recent ones annoying, so this organises your shots by day. Very useful and well presented.

Media
ReadItLater - I send so many things from either my Twitter feed or Google Reader to this. It saves article-style pages to your phone and to their website (which also has Firefox and Chrome add-ons available, so you can sync a bunch of different pages for later reading easily). It cleans up the layout, removes ads and gives you just what you want. Pretty much perfect.
Spool - Similar to ReaditLater (above), but for richer media like videos, etc. Not as fast, for obvious reasons, and the layout work isn't quite as good. However, the app is relatively new and they're still working on it, so it's worth a try.
Sensor Music Player - It allows you to use various of your phone's sensors to control your music's playback. Extremely cool.
Youtube Remote - Lets you control your Youtube viewing on your laptop or other screen from your phone or tablet.

The conversation was about aCalendar. I gave it a spin today and loved it. In fact, I un-installed Business Cal to make room for this one ;)

I was funning with Blkblt message #2417, lol. Its a running joke.

Since youve used Business Calendar and now lime aCalsndar even more, could you please post bulleted items where aCalendar trumps Business Calendar? Id like to read these.

So far, I just cant tare away from my Business Cendar. I have 6 different callendars activy attached... One of which contain retro dates and events as far back as 2003 where these have either monthly or yearly evens scheduled.....
 
I think it boils down to "preference-based-on-feel," not much more than that. Granted, as pat mentioned above, BizCal has a lot more options and it is more robust, but for my needs aCal, being leaner, is perfect. I especially like the weekly look, it reminds me of my old Treo ;)
 
my favorite app is called "autoforum", search it in the market, it's very cool. it's a forum that discusses cars. (powered by the same software as this forum). my second favorite app is probably BGR which is a great tech news source
 
My favorite apps are...

Slacker (Radio)
Big Oven (Cooking App)
World Newspapers
Ringlert (App for Ringtones) -- Got deleted from App Market but you can google ringlert apk and download it that way.. I couldnt live without this app. It's the best!

Backgrounds
SmS PopUp
SoundHound (Searches what song your listening to if you dont know the name)

ColorNotes (Note Widget)
My Days ( For the Ladies)

Just downloaded Best Apps Market and it is great. Very easy for moving apps to card and the recommendation of apps based on what you already have is also tremendous. Good find - thanks.

You hit it right on the head... its more of preference based on feel. I for one, have attachments to BizCal, like you, because it reminds me of other apps and devices i had before. Plus, Ive got so much stored and built arouned BizCal that I am content with it. Plus there some features Ive not tapped into yet and its good to knnow i can 'discover' these features as time and the need arise.

well my favorite application so far is, JEFIT PRO...as its really cool and great app which helped me a lot when am working out at home..it is my everyday trainer...i love that app..i hope u should try too...:)
Click to expand...

What is the difference between JEFIT and JEFIT pro?
 
I tried "ONE", looked promising, but half the recommendations on the 1st page are for free versions of the Pro version I already have. I'm thinking it's not recognizing all the free "Pro" versions I got at Amazon. I must say I like Appbrain better. Easy to sort by rating and see what's "best" in any category.
