Once again, here is the revamped version of my original thread of top apps, that was made BEFORE paid apps hit the market so for all noobs or vets, check it out, you might see an app you didnt know about before. These have all been tested by ME so i can assure they are not malicious and none seem to be an abnormal battery drain in the background. lol
Also if u wanna see the app market online u can go on www.cyrket.com on any computer/laptop to view the newest apps available or just simply check from ur phone. If u have any questions, just msg me.
Apps are in no specific order. To search for these, just remember the name, open your market then start typing and it will search the market and you can download directly. Sometimes things may not be found or you have to scroll to find them, type one word, first or last word of the app name to find the app if you have problems locating it in the market.
