Default best Android Apps you have ?

Old or new , free or paid , whats the best ones you have ?

not games or social networks


Had Tunee (free music) for a while , but it stopped working.
Just got Torque (diagnostics/OBD) and allough i am still waiting on the Bluetooth dongle to arrvive, it looks good.
Photaf takes cool 360 photos , but kinda only viewable on the phone.
Lapse It (time lapse video) is good in theory , but to many settings to make me use it.

My phone downloaded the update to jellybean last thursday but since it updated it takes forever to charge. I can't really see any difference from the 4.01?


Bioforger I'm on tmobile and my SGS3 updated to jellybean although mine is a proper sim free phone so the update was straight from Samsung.
