Also bought Monopoly yesterday and also got ..

I notice there's a standalone version of my all time favourite ZX Spectrum game "Chaos" on the app market, but the reviews all suggest it keeps crashing which is a shame as i'd certainly buy it.

Sky news- absolutely fantastic news app, use it every day to get an update on the news, always updates with the big head lines quickly.

Speedtest- check the speed of your data/wifi connections.

Tvguide

Shazam- checking what song is playing.

Jasmine- YouTube app which is better than the official one and you can watch HD quality on 3G connection( can't on official one)

My car check- check basic car info using reg number (free) pay to view ALOT more info on a car

Free music- free app that let's you download ANY (well everything I've searched) song for free, add the site mp3skull into the inbuilt web browser.

Cinema times- just that

HD wall papers- very good as ALL the wall papers are HD quality.

Itorch- torch

games

Ronnie o sullivans snooker(best snooker app out there).

High noon

Angry birds

GTA 3

Into the dead

Doodle jump

Street fighter 2 collection, £2.50 but well worth it if you used to play street fighter on the old Super Nintendo, exact port of this version, plays really well aswell

Might check that out, cheers.

I've got genius turned on in the app store so i'm going in to that every now and again to see if i can fine tune it to recommend some good things as well.

As you've included Rooted/None rooted for Android do you also want Jailbreak apps?

Fair point actually - I didn't include that as I didn't (and probably still don't..) plan on Jailbreaking my phone.

But have at it .. I did jailbreak my original 3G and got a good ZX Spectrum emulator going on it.

You might convince me to Jailbreak if there's anything good - the number blacklist one is very tempting. It's the one feature i do miss from Android.

I've put link to jailbreak apps above.

I got fed up within a day of jailbreaking my 4S on 6.1, the things like vshare and app cake(like installous) would either not download or if it did download then it wouldnt work. Had no problems on ios 5xxx, nothing works on this jailbreak apart from cydia(which is the main thing) but dont expect to get everything you had on a ios 5 jailbreak because chances are you wont be able to, or not yet anyway as i found out

P.s i know its not new but i download CSR racing the other day and its fantastic especially for free.

If you use IGN they give away a free app a month, this months free app is Need for speed most wanted. Get it from the link no need to register just get it

There's definitely some good apps out there, but I still don't really want to at the moment. Not saying I never will, but I spent years flashing different roms onto android phones and I suppose I wanted a break from messing around.

The main thing that would probably make me jailbreak is getting some proper ad-blocking going while surfing, followed by a ZX Spectrum emulator I suppose.

The apps I have are
Tube map
My fitness pal
Nearest bus
Argos

Which I think are all useful my kids always download lots of games but I'm not really interested. I prefer practical apps
