I've seen some app threads, but they're very disorganized, I'd hoped for a thread that had a little organization so, I decided to start one. Here's the thread posting guidelines.
1. Try to not duplicate an app someone else already posted if at all possible. If the thread goes to 30 pages then the occasional duplicate is understandable.
2. Link to the app in the marketplace or wherever you found it.
3. Don't just give the name, tell everyone what the app does and why you like it.
4. When possible, if you can, include a screen shot of the app or widget.
5. Personal preference but, lets try to keep games to a minimum, there are just way too many games and too many individual tastes that it's best to have a totally different thread for game apps/widgets. But the occasional game that's really a must-not-miss isn't too bad.
6. Limit yourself to only a couple of apps per post at most. It isn't a "top ten list" thread. It's a "This is a very good app you should try" with details about each app.
7. This is Note specific, so if the app doesn't work with the Note, don't mention it please.
8. Don't DISCUSS the apps, just post the app and the info, discuss it in another thread maybe, lets keep this clean and organized and a place for people to go to see what apps people like without having to read through pages of conversations about it.
9. Exception to #8, if you know the app being mentioned contains malware or some other reason why people should avoid it then this can be posted, but don't drag out a conversation about it, if there needs to be one, please start a thread for that which is separate from this to avoid clutter.
10. I don't have a 10 but 9 just seemed incomplete, so, this is 10.
Here's a starter. I recently grabbed this app for making clock/weather/etc widgets. It doesn't create instantly gorgeous clocks but technically if you use it properly you can make clocks, weather widgets and email widgets that look like anything you want. You just have to fiddle with it and take a little time to learn it.
It's called Ultimate Custom Clock Widget, here's the Market link:

Because the resulting widget could look like anything, a pic of the results from the app wouldn't do much good, the interface for creating the widgets isn't anything exciting but it does the job.
I gave it 4 stars out of 5, a few UI tweaks would improve it but overall it's a nice app that makes great custom widgets.
