Anyone know of some good ๐Ÿ†“ apps for a droid phone?

So far I have:

My Tracks (uses GPS to track distance hiked, walked, etc etc)

Ohio State Football (app with OSU ringtones, schedule, RSS feeds that I don't really know anything about, etc)

Paper Toss (fun little game/time killer)

Peter Griffin Soundboard

Ron Burgundy soundboard (awesome)

Shop Around (supposed to tell me where everything is around me using GPS)

Solo Lite (cool little guitar app you can strum...if I knew how to play guitar)

Guitar Chords Lite (I thought it was like Solot Lite, but it actually shows you the chords...since I don't how to play guitar, as mentioned above, it's of little use to me)

Tennesse Football (same thing as the OSU app)

Homer Simpson soundboard/ringtones (HI-Larious)

Connect 4 (the game...which I apparently suck at)

Cheech and Chong soundboard/ringtones (dave's not here)

Carl Spackler soundboard/ringtones (FREEZE, Gopher!)

Borat soundboard/ringtones (not kid safe)

Air Horn (for use at sporting events or the grocery store when people feel the need to park their cart in the middle of the aisle)

Advanced Task Killer (kills apps and processes that are running and not being used to save precious battery life...which kind of sucks on this droid)

Color Flashlight (useless app that can be used as a flashlight or some other colorful flashing lights or hypnotic patern that you can also flash messages in like "get your azz out of the highspeed lane, moron") LOL

Tuese are some of the apps I have. They're all free. I apologize if I hit on some that were already listed, but I was just looking at my phone and not the lists on the other threads.

--------------------------------------------------

Pandora - a must have if you like music

Barcode scanner - name says it all

Caller ID Faker - for the cost of listening to an add, you could clone someones phone number to make calls

Craigsnotification - Anytime the word Canoe comes up on Craigslist, I get a notification. You could set whatever parameters you want.

FIOS Mobile Remote - I have FIOS instead of Cable and this App lets me use my phone as a remote

Key Ring - Scan the grocery store cards or key fobs into your phone and use your phone instead.

Kindle - I've downloaded some free books from Amazon, but I have not actually read any.

ESPN Sportscenter - nuf said

PDA Net - supposedly, you could use your phone to act as a wireless hot spot for a computer.

Photoshop Express - name says it all

Safe Neighbor - find the pervs around you.

Shazam - Hear a song but don't know it's name or who plays it? Use this app to get that info.

Slydial - Ever have to call someone but didn't want to talk to them? this app will let you slide directly into their voicemail. "Honey, check your voicemail. I called you!"

TideApp - get tide info for surfcasting

Trapster - find out where cops are hiding

TV.Com - watch TV shows

Zillow - see which houses around you are for sale, click the link and see photos, prices, etc.

Bible by YouVersion...

[I have Bible Verses by Webworks and Applications Inc. Just gives a verse each day, but I'm not sure I like it that much.]

Droidlight - use camera led as flashlight...

[sadly, my droid doesn't have an led light/flash.]

Rick Bobby Soundboard...

[I was going to d/l one of those, but the comments weren't very favorable...volume too low, didn't have some of the good quotes, "all jacked up on mountain dew" "shake n bake", etc. I want to find a good one]

ScoreCenter by ESPN...

[I think I was going to try that one, but decided not to. Maybe it's all the access you open up to it?]

Whereโ€™s my droid - if you canโ€™t find your phone, you text it a password and it rings even if its on vibrate or silent...

[If I can't find my droid, how am I gonna text it? LOL]

x3 watch...

[interesting...it's tedious enough to browse the net with the size of mine (eris htc), which is deterent enough to even want to go on the net. For some reason, I can't even seem to watch Youtube vids.]

I haven't quite figured out what a "widget" is or why people complain that an app doesn't have a "widget." And I get a little concerned about how much access an app has to my phone's info..."full internet access," "read phone state and identity," "read contact data," etc.

Thanks, J.Redleg. I've looked at some of those...Pandora and Barcode scanner.

Not sure I fully understand Caller ID Faker, but I looked it up on the [droid] market, and it looks interesting...and has potential for fun.

PDA Net..interesting. I have unlimited internet so that could be useful...if I was web saavy enough and knew how to use it. LOL

Trapster...cool. I was thinking that would be a cool app for someone to design. Lo and behold, someone did. LOL (but it looks like it has a lot of access to your phone)

Just d/l TV.com ๐Ÿ™‚

I forgot a must have for any jokesters:

PRANKDIAL - I used it to call someone who was sitting on the other side of the table from me. He began to talk to the recording, thinking it was a real conversation.

It also lets you clone numbers, but it has pre-recorded gags, some of which have pauses to allow the victom to reply. (Conversational pranks)

"Why you call me" is a classic.

re: 6, yeah nothing beats the real thing. Especially when my boys are watching a spooky movie at night with the lights off. Classic.
