What are some "must have" apps that you have on your phone?

For myself, I love "Untappd" - a great app to help you track the various beers you drink.

What about you?

Games?

News?

Etc.?

Milk music and Pandora. I have several personalized stations on both but I do prefer the layout of Milk.

KY511 is a handy road conditions app.

Podcast Republic is a pretty good app for exploring different podcasts.

World Lens- you hold your phone over writing in a foreign language (French, Italian, Spanish or German) and it translates it to English. No typing required. Great when trying to order off a menu that you can't read when in Europe. Probably good for high school kids looking to cheat in language classes.

Kindle Reader- never know when you might need to kill some time

LGE KU Outage App- when your power goes down it tells you how many people in a given area are affected and when you can expect restoration in your neighborhood.

I'll be in Europe next week. The World Lens will come in handy. Thanks.

Scout - it's a navigation ap - you can simply say where you want to go, location, store name, restaurant etc. and it maps your route and gives you visual and audio guidance.

Garmin Blue Chart - marine GPS chart plotter

Around Me - search your soundings by category - restaurant, bank etc. and it will find them by name and display a pin on a map, then guide you there.

Altimeter - gives you accurate altitude readings. I've used in on commercial flights and it works great.

Red Laser - you can scan any items bar code in a store, and it will display all the places available both local and online where you can buy it and it's price. Also a detailed description of the products and some reviews.
