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
