I searched through the other apps thread, but the majority of posts there are a couple years old, so I thought I would fire up a new app thread. I'll try to keep all the suggestions indexed and categorized here in the OP.
Just looking for what you guys and gals find to be the best apps for everything.
I was looking for a decent app for video editing (free or otherwise). I tried a few but they wouldn't do simple things like trim the beginning and end off of a clip. So I would welcome any suggestions on a video editing app, but I also want to hear suggestions for your favorite apps for everything, so I make sure I'm not missing out on any greatness.
I'll throw out one from the other thread that I tried and found to be pretty awesome. Waze, for maps/navigation. It not only does navigation, but also accepts input from users on locations of traffic snarls, speed traps, etc. Pretty solid.
What else ya got?
**Numbers in brackets next to an app represent multiple votes/mentions
Finances/Credit Monitoring
Hooking up: Grindr
RoadID (Give it a contact person and it will send them a link to track you around and alert them if you stopped for too long, etc. Good safety app.)
