Thumbs up Best Applications, Games, Widgets and MORE!

I wanted to make a thread so that the best applications, games, widgets, ect. could be found easily, instead of searching many threads. Any app you find resourceful? Fun? POST IT
Lets make this thread have all the best for your Android Phone! List as many apps as you like! The rules below are in place to make this thread efficient for its subscribers and viewers.


Rules:

In this thread DO NOT repost an app that is already up and NO "o that app is sweet" comments. If its in this thread it must be sweet.

If you disagree and think the app is bad,or you have a better app for the same use, quote the bad app and post the better app and write your review or explain.

Reviews about the apps are helpful (What they're used for)

You may agree an app previously listed is the best, and include why you like it. Most apps agreed with will make the Need to Have List

You may also discuss an app, widget, ect..


New:
Please include wether the app is for a rooted Android user, a simple capital R in parentheses will do next to the name of the app.

Also please put app names in Bold

If it is not listed in the market, you can ask where to get it.

You can ask for reviews on apps.

PM me with anymore rules suggestions.



Lets make this a thread to come back to for apps, widgets, games, ect.!

Barcode Scanner
