To me a good app needs basic functionality, stability, speed and an interesting and engaging user interface. As a music lover apps that enhance or enable experiencing music in a novel manner are interesting as are applications that offer new ways to access information or give me different ways to stay connected with SprintUsers.

The three non-bundled apps that I couldn’t live without are:

1. Music Player Remix. It allows me to sort my music by artist, album, genre and even flylists I create myself.

2. Pandora. The ability to choose music by artist or song type as determined by the Music Genome project and to do it from my hone is simply amazing

3. Friends Flow. The ability to check Facebook anywhere and comment on posts is invaluable to me

About

MOBILE APPS SHOWDOWN

spacer

The Mobile Apps Showdown is a fast-paced contest where you're asked to weigh in on the apps you think have what it takes to make it. For the months leading up to the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2012) we'll be presenting the contestants to you. You can try them, watch demos, make your feelings known, and ultimately vote on a winner. We're platform agnostic, so if it's mobile it's in the competition.

The top ten apps will join us at CES 2012 for an action packed event hosted by Jon Hein and Gary Dell'Abate from the Howard Stern Show.

By the end of this year more than 7 billion apps will have been downloaded. Only you know which ones are the keepers.
