"Must have" aps

[Uno-Mom]

Hey. So maybe you saw my post about making the jump into smartphone land. Well I got my Droid yesterday! What a toy. Right now I'm learning the operating system as best I can.

I want to avoid dowloading a bunch o' junk but I also want to collect some cool aps. What are you must-haves?

So far a I have: iheartradio, a few games (Angry Birds of course) and Backgrounds. What else should I check out???

I have an iPhone, but I imagine these apps are on both platforms. If not, sucks to be you! j/k ;)

Facebook
Pandora
Netflix (if you have a subscription)
Shazam
Tapatalk
The Weather Channel
Urbanspoon
Mint.com
Starbucks Mobile Card
Red Laser

I'd second all of PP's recs.

unfortunately netflix doesn't have a droid app yet. there may be a 3rd party solution, but that is one negative about the droid os. I would expect, however that this will change, so keep checking on it. netflix does make an app for adjusting one's queue, however.

ETA: I also think that redfin is fun.

Calorie Counter (the Fatsecret version) is good if logging food is your thing

RedBox app is nice

Google Sky Map is fun

Astro File Manager
Color Notes
Color Flashlight
Craigslist App

The ones I like so far are:

MyFitnessPal
pandora
piano (ok, not a Must Have, but if you're easily amused like DD and I, it is fun) ETA: called 'xPiano'
angry birds (of course!)
colornotes
I find google calendar really easy to use online and on the phone
I've heard good things about Astrid for todo lists etc..., but haven't figured it out yet
a free puzzle app and a free coloring app for dd (it looks like sprog has a little while lol)

Will it play within the web browser?
