I still want to see a navigation app where the voice gets mad, curses you out and then shuts off and refuses to help for the rest of the trip after you make three wrong turns. It would just go off about how you clearly know better than it does, etc. before shutting down or just pouting the rest of the way.

I really have no idea why. I just think it would be funny to see somebody's reaction which is why it really makes no sense because I would never be in the car with them to see it.

Cisco's Spark is good for sharing docs/discussions within a group and it's free. Presence can turn any iPad/iPhone into a surveillance device and it's free. What's App is a great app for avoiding any charges for texts while traveling internationally.

I use weatherunderground rather than the weather app that comes with my android.
Garmin Connect so I can peak in on my running data remotely(though since my garmin watch version doesn't Bluetooth sync this app is underused as of now)

I usually just google or surf my way on the phone for other utilities-rather than using a special app for other things I care about-like beer food music, sports scores

Flashlight app. Of course. My bro had elevation app that was fun to have around on trips in CA and CO this year -Sacremento is about zero elevation...who knew?

I just got Target's app since they get a chunk of my earnings. Smoothie King because my daughter is an addict.

Not a fan of these store apps though.

The only store app I've ever really cared for is Home Depot. I don't know why but I felt like such a manly man when somebody said they're going to Home Depot and I could tell them exactly what aisle to go to. I haven't used it in years but they were really impressed. I never told them I was using an app.
