top ten essential apps

[Guest joe t]

hi,

ive not searched but guess there are many threads along these lines.

but with the v5 de-orangeated SF what would be the first/top 10 FREE apps bearing in mind the phone has been stripped.

i realise this is simple for many here, but i am totally new to android and apps too really.

i have a few games from when the market works, but the only real app i have is astrid.

Correct, there's an entire forum for this question. Search first and don't create a new thread.

the thread you link too is exactly the reason i started another relating to the bare bones SF.

there are about 9 posts since april in that thread, apps are changing all the time hence when i read around the net i get conflicting out of date info, that tells you of the best apps.

im asking for apps that peeps feel relevant to a bare bones phone that they feel are essential.
