Gas buddy! It shows you all the prices of gas - and it will figure out where you are and find the stations closest to you. That way you can find the cheapest gas!

RedLaser is a free app for scanning barcodes. You can scan a code at a store, and it will tell you if there are any stores that carry the product at a lower price in your area - or online.

I also like Skyview Free -- shows you what the constellations are and planets. Kids like it.

I don't have many apps so I'm also looking forward to seeing what others say.

Love the Songify app, it's free, but it has some things you can buy too, but I adore the band that made the app, The Gregory Brothers.

I don't know them by name, but my husband has tons of cool ones, there are a lot of cute kids things too. You can read user reviews on which ones are worth it.

Urban Spoon is good to help find local restaurants, Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja,

good ideas here:

I read your question and thought, "Wow, how funny". Then I saw your

I have no suggestions since you pass them on to me already.
