Apps.

[Gareth]

Having just joined the 21st century with a Galaxy Ace, I was wondering what fun or useful apps you chaps have on you phones?

[jzmtl]

Opera browser, tapatalk (free on samsung market, found out after I paid for it lol), swiss army knife, draw! (as scratch pad to quickly show others what you mean), unit converter, barcode scanner, merriam-webster dictionary.

And lots of games.

lots of people rave about that constellation app where you can just point it at the sky and it tells you what stars are there. The weirdest thing is when you point it down and it shows you the sun....

The Photobucket app is pretty handy (if you have a photobucket account)

i use the amazon app for buying myself gifts  , Evernote for taking notes that you can later edit on your computer. google reader for getting my rss feeds, and youtube for reviews.

welcome to the 21st century mate

Cheers chaps.   I've gone with the Photobucket and Swiss Army Knife ones so far, but keep the suggestions coming, I'm sure I'm not the only one who might like some suggestions.

That just sounds incredibly dangerous for my bank account! Might be best if I stay well clear of that.

NAVFree, a free gps road navigation app, with offline World Maps available to download. Nowhere near as good as a dedicated unit, but a useful backup, and always with you.

GPS Essentials, gives you a nice compass and OS grid ref.

Dunc- I'm surprised you'd use an iPhone consider that Steve Jobs tried to ban pornography!  I'd have figured you'd boycott anything associated with someone who'd do that! 

Getting back to the original question though, I really don't have a lot of games on mine- Pinball Deluxe and Bejeweled at the moment, but here are a few of my other favorite apps:

Social Blast- updates all your social networks at once (yes I understand that may not be useful for you!)
Jorte- Calendar that syncs with Google Calendar, which syncs with almost everything else
Beautiful Widgets- kind of a must have
CamCard- scans business cards and enters the info into your contact list
Dilbert- updates every day with a new Dilbert cartoon
eReader and FBReader- ebook reader apps
QRDroid- reads QR codes
Wired Magazine & Endgadget- latest tech news

When I use tapatalk sometimes to host my pictures it won't let me get my photos to upload on here. I can not open the folders needed to get to my pictures. They just disappear. Anyone know why?

[Beerplumber]

I've been using "tunein" radio lately for tons of free radio worldwide, a must have for me.
:edit: I also have a very useful ithesaurus app which comes in handy.

Stay multi my friends

Oh and .nomedia manager is nice to have, so the gallery doesn't pick up all sorts of stuff from other app's internal file and such. You can do it manually but after a while you tend to forget which directories you have set.
