    What IOS applications do you use regularly on your iPad, iPhone or iPod (not including games or the default apps)?

    For example, I often use:
    - TouchArcade application.
    - Testflight - For beta testing
    - AppShopper
    - Clear - To do list
    - Air Video - Streaming vids from Mac to iPad.

    What apps do you regularly find useful?

    I regularly use...

    NewsRack - Add lots of RSS feeds to this, very useful
    ComicZeal - My favourite app, import comic .cbr or .pdf's to this to read. Love this app !

    Dropbox - Can access so many of my files online, can then download them to use in some apps such as ComicZeal or iBooks

    MyBookPlayer - Can add mp3's to this, great for audio books

    iCatcher! - Use this for podcasts, download tons of shows to listen to in the car

    I am not going to mention stock apps since that would be pretty silly so..

    Notetaker HD <--best notetaking app in the App store [totally not subjective] PS, notability isn't that good for notetaking with a stylus.
    https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B6jO4uut9wwUZU9hNE5xU3hwbHc <--An example of the type of notes I usually write out on Notetaker HD with my Adonit Jot Pro Stylus
    Planetary <---awesome visual way of going through your music collection [Provided everything is properly tagged]
    Appshopper
    AudioMemos <--the iPad doesn't have voice memos!
    Whatsapp(duh)
    AV Player HD <--- Only video player that can play Hi10p [Has been pulled from the App store]
    GPlayer
    Comic Zeal
    Tweetbot
    XBMC( for jailbroken devices)
    dropbox
    Jump RDP <---I use this quite often too ..Love how easy it is to manipulate the mouse
    The Weather Channel
    GoodReader for iPad <-- Best PDF reader with built in dropbox functionalities, smb drive sharing etc
    Splashtop <--Best RDP app
    Notes Plus <--an interesting notetaking app with handwriting recognition..inkstrokes arent as smooth and the zoom function isn't as intuitively utilized as Notetaker HD though
    Noteshelf <---Another pretty looking notetaking app..too bad it doesn't have PDF import functionalities.
    Display Recorder <---Records what is on your screen!
    Manga BDR
    Comikon (Free app for downloading chinese scanlated mangas)
    CloudOn
    Isle of Tunes <---Something cool
    Air Display <---Using your iPad as a 2nd or 3rd monitor!
    Flipboard <---A very pretty looking interface for going through rss feeds
    Agenda <---I prefer this to the stock calender app for marking out important events/tasks
    Evernote <---self explanatory
    IM+ <---messenger app
    TapAlarm <---A very pretty and functional alarm [The iPad doesn't have the stock clock app for iOS 5!]
    Groove <---Metro styled 3rd party music player
    Procreate <---- Best app for digital art


    Yes..comiczeal is awesome..but it has to uncompress the cbz/cbr/zip/rar files to be able to read them. It is annoying to wait for it to do that when you are importing a large number of graphic novels etc. The nearest competitor Comic Glass is more functional but less pretty ..so I am definitely not switching over =p

    Wasn't VLC removed from the App Store? I had to get it through lnstallous which I thought was incredibly stupid. All I see on the App Store relating to VLC is VLC remote and streamer which I find useless.

    TuneIn Radio
    File Browser
    Skyfire Browser
    FLAC Player
    VLC
    Equalizer Pro

    Why would you use it anyway x_X. It has extremely poor codec support and no hardware decoding at all.
