    I'm presuming you mean non games so I'll just name the five I use the most

    Mailonline - Basicly just a newspaper app but I do read it every day at work

    AllofWiki offline - lets me look up Wikipedia articles anywhere takes a lot of space though but does come in quite handy on occasion.

    CueplayDJ - DJ software lets you mix tracks anywhere and does a good job

    JumiGamer - Lets me remote control my pc from anywhere

    Left out a few of the more common ones like skype, instapaper and beejive im

    edit: Took Instacast of my list since it updated to V2 it's completely useless it's hard to believe how badly they have ruined a nearly perfect App it really doesn't deserve my recommendation anymore.

    Excluding Apple's standard apps, these are my favourite.

    AppZappPush. Like AppShopper, but better (don't tell Arn I said that :p).

    UK Map. Offline OS maps for the UK which also takes full advantage of the GPS.

    Met Office Weather. A much more reliable and accurate weather forecast than the standard weather app.

    Star Walk. An excellent app that lets you identify planets, stars, constellations etc.

    LED Flashlight. Allows me to use my iPhone's flash as a torch, very useful.

    +1 to AppZapp Push. Use it more than AppShopper as it's faster. Sorry arn...

    Also I like Just Dance 3 Auto Dance as it's a fun app! :) I don't have my iPod around so I don't remember all, but AppShopper and Snapseed are also good.

    World of goo- an oldie but it'll never be bumped off my list!
    Grooh
    Where's my water
    Joining hands
    Bag it!

    There's many more, but I find that those 5 are of upmost quality graphic wise, with a fresh fun innovative concept and awesome puzzles to solve, but never too hard, and they never get boring, they keep adding new elements to keep the game fresh and fun.

    Monsters ate my condo really should also be on that list, though it's only one mode so you don't get as much of a variety as the other 5 listed.


    WOG is a classic, its what modern day gaming should be, sheer brilliance.
    WMW- innovative idea that's fun and adorable, constantly being updated with ne content, never ending fun.

    Joining hands has alot of levels, another very unique concept, I couldn't put it down, played for hours right through to the end. No more levels being added though, well so it seems..so that's a bummer

    Bag it! Such a cool concept.. And so life like, we all go grocery shopping and it makes an everyday chore really fun. I only enjoy the puzzle levels and collecting badges and medals, not interested in the arcade modes. More levels coming soon too.

    Grooh - my current addiction.. Very unique..kinda like a match 3 platformer with color changing elements..I'm in love with the grooh character too. And the devs said more levels coming very soon.


    Notable mentions and why they didn't make it


    Juice belts - no updates
    Iblast moki 2 - no update despite more levels promised
    Bumpy road - not enough variety or campaign mode
    Saving private sheep - graphics a little sloppy
    Zen puzzle garden - doesn't evolve enough
    Zen bound 2 - doesntbevolve enough
    Home sheep home 2 - not enough levels
    Scribblenauts - not enough levels
    Monsters ate my condo - not enough modes
    Puddle puzzles - no updates, sloppy graphics
    Triple town - only one mode, doesn't evolve much, lack of gameplay updates
    Sploosh - not enough levels

    Cut the rope - too easy and slightly over exposed..almost bored of it because it's so popular..kinda like getting bored of the Simpsons because you've heard all the writers jokes and kinda get over it.


    Edit **

    Ohh you said apps

    The top 5 apps I used would be-
    1. Soundhound - tells you what song is on the radio..you can even sing/hum the song

    2. Photo editing
    More beaut - photo editing app that lightens, brightens, smooths and tones your photos..and it's free
    Photoshop free - I use to crop and sometimes contrast, exposure, etc
    Snapseed - lots of different editing options
    Plastic surgery stimulator- I use this just for the liquify tool to edit graphics and photos
    With the combination of those 4 editing apps it gives me results just as good as photoshop on the computer, that goes for graphics and photos, though the resolution isn't as good obviously..but it's good for mockups or whatever when you don't have access to your computer.

    3. Noteshelf - you take notes, draw, color, symbols, etc.. Better then I real notepad.. It's a simple app but I use it alot just as a note taker really, to do lists, grocery lists, reminders, doodling, etc

    4. Messages from your angels - Doreen virtue - oracle card app that allows me to have guidance when ever I need it. Use this daily, brilliant cards, very accurate. I have 6 of her tarot card decks in real life.

    5.splashtop - connect to your laptop or computer and control it from iPad.. I often do this when a family member asks me to show them how to do something on the computer so I don't have to even get up! Ha ha I'm lazy


    Honorable mentions
    Smule - play the piano with no actual talent! It's free
    Pianist - play a mini piano and you van record your songs and stuff
    Animation HD free - it's fun to make little animations :) I draw certain phalic objects..really fun !
    Appzap - it's already been mentioned or it'd be 1.. This has come in handy alotyou can set certain apps on alert for sales and updates
    Testflight - be a beta tester for game developers straight through the app, no computer required
    Atomic web browser - actually let's you download stuff which safari doesn't allow.. My bf often sends clips of his new song demos and I rarely go on my comp so I download them to my iPad instantly
    Puffin - let's you view flash sites like pr0n and habbo!! <- this has COME in HANDy very much lol
    Vidrhtym - Make a music video in 30 seconds..really awesome video effects and sound
    Wicked unusual unique photo effect apps-
    Toonpaint turn yourself into cartoon
    Percolator - adds rings and circles into photo
    Half tone - comic book
    Wordfoto - turn photo into words
    Photo tropedelic - psychedelic effect

    Dicovr apps is good for discovering new apps or games..you type in an app you like and it tells you other stuff you'd like based on that app.


    If you have a cat or dog you have to get " game for cats" or " paint for cats" my cats love it so much and full on go skits trying to catch the mouse..paint for cats actually makes the cats paw prints show up while catching the mouse and paints a painting and u can print it out it pit it on the wall. My cat is a picasso for sure ! :)

    "wreck this app" is really fun for people who are into art..it's a spin off of "wreck this journal"
    It gives you instructions on each page like " get someone else to draw on this page" and "attach a photo and deface it" etc it's quite fun but not many pages for the price..

    Torch apps do come in handy.. But I often just use the brightness of the screen as a torch nut if I need a proper torch that comes in handy

    Every aplenty device needs some word games..7 little words (free), bookworm, and text twist and who wants to be a millionaire should all be on every single apple device, they never get tiring..I have had them for a year or more and they always get opened atleast once a week, still. Wordsworth hd is another good one.

    I always have fun creating faces on "face factory" too..I'm a little kid in an adults body haha

    Also, if your into sticker photo booth..this app called "photoframe dada" is literally the BEST sticker photo app I'm the world.list possibly even better then a real booth, it has hundreds of frames, confetti, stickers, font, pens, etc. I have spent countless shouts playing around with it, there is so many possibiltys seriously, and it's constantly being updated too.. Probably the most content ice ever got for 99c

    If you have foxtel then the foxtel guide app is awesome..I always forget to tape a show then I will panic thinking I might miss it, then I get on the app and set the show to tape straight from the app..I wish u could delete other tv shows though cause if ur memory is full it still doesn't tape and that's annoying.

    Words with cheats - I usually use this to make a good first word..if words with friends starts off with a short word the game doesn't evolve much cause there's not much to build off..so yeah if I'm ever stuck on the first word I cheat and make a big first word for the benefit of both me and the other player lol, but sometimes I also have to peak if I'm totally stuck. It comes in handy.

    Snapseed is the freebie app at Starbucks this week, by the way. Or just wait for it to go free again. It's gone free several times.

    1. BBE SonicMax Pro
    Restores clarity to music and allows you to hear the 'lost' frequencies. The dream app for audiophiles.

    2. Dictionary.com app
    Self-explanatory. Large file size but irreplaceable functionality.

    3. Notes
    Convenient note taking. Can't believe no one mentioned this :cool:. Perhaps I'm the only one with short term memory?

    4. Instapaper
    My favorite tool for storing web articles, not just for later reading.

    5. Remote
    For listening to music out of reach from the computer. I'm lazy so I love this app that allows me to be lazy (and not jump out of bed everytime I try to change the volume/song).

    It's nearly impossible to pick just five, but I'll have a go:

    -Slippery Seal (a client works with the developer of this game and I've been addicted ever since: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/slippery-seal/id499638045?mt=8)

    -Zite (awesome news aggregator by category)

    -Dropbox (Cloud)

    -Spotify (recently upgraded my account and don't regret it EVER)

    -Hulu (tv on the go)

    -New apps I'm trying out: Path, Time Warner TV App (so far, not sold)

    I've used these for awhile and worth mentioning.

    Dictionary.com http://appshopper.com/reference/dictionarycom
    It's free (with some banner ads/there's an ad free one). It even looks up the word after pronouncing it.

    Balance http://appshopper.com/finance/balance
    Nice basic check book (free)

    System Activity Monitor- frees up memory
    http://appshopper.com/utilities/system-activity-monitor

    LockBox Pro http://appshopper.com/productivity/lockbox-pro
    I've used this for a long time and never a problem.

    TuneIn Radio Pro http://appshopper.com/music/radioin
    Unknown reasons why I've no radio reception where I live till I downloaded this radio app. Works great!

    In no particular order:

    1. Camera+ (the ability to edit photos easily is awesome)

    2. SoundHound (being able to identify what song you're hearing is so convenient)

    3. ScoreCenter (the ability to view all the various sports scores is really nice)

    4. Fandango (I'm able to view every movie time, then buy tickets)

    5. MLB At Bat (being an subscriber is so nice, I can view every detail of my teams stats and plays) (GO RANGERS!!!... Haha)

    Soon to be #1 will be the upcoming TA app ;) (can't wait)
