I know there's been a few threads about apps that don't work on ICS yet and also a few threads about apps people can't live without in regards to the Nexus. I must say the thing that I love most about Android is the apps...(that's why I've started a site to review all kinds of Android apps).
So because I love all things apps, it is my goal to create a thread that will one day become a "sticky" specifically about the Galaxy Nexus and Apps. I am going to take it upon myself to solicit everyone's feedback about both apps that don't seem to work right on the Nexus yet AS WELL AS apps that you can't live without. I'll keep two separate lists in this thread to make it easy on anyone who is new to ICS and the Nexus.
Edit: I'm going to try and add a description beside each one as well as a vote count in front of the app (for when it's listed by more than one user). I will also see if I can link the marketplace for each app. (Yeah, I didn't call it Play Store on purpose)
