Android Central app -- Duh! Keep up with your fav devices and Android rumors on the go.

Super User / SuperSU - the most important.
Your phone is gay without one of them.
I'm learning Russian and German so Dictionaries and Google translator are my favorite apps.
Google Authenticator - Now I can sync my passwords without worrying.
Google Plus - I don't use Facebook.
and Google Finance.
Apart from what's already been mentioned above...
Just Pictures - I have my local, facebook, picasa and deviant art photos all in one place.
Pulse - much prefer this to Flipboard or currents as you can see more news stories at a glance and decide which ones you then want to read, instead of having to flip through each story individually.
Freenote+ - my go to note taking app
Dolphin Browser HD
Whatsapp - hardly send any sms messages now
Picsart
Pro HDR Camera
Caustic - easily the best Android music sequencer
Audio Evolution - easily the best Android multi track recorder
Tape machine - the best app for playing and chopping audio files
Loopstack - hours of fun. the best looper on Android.
Easyband - good for mapping out song ideas
Solo - nice for noodling around with song ideas
My guitar - more realistic than Solo, but a bit fiddly on the touch screen as your fingers have no traction on the strings.
Moon+ Reader
Showtimes
aCar - good for tracking costs and mileage

I wanted to share my list of disabled bloatware (Disabling wont remove the app). This is done from Settings - Apps - All -click the app you want to disable, uncheck Show notifications, then simply hit Disable and done! If Info-Eye still keeps haunting in the Update Center, or any other bloatware. Those update notifications can be turned off! To-do this open Update Center, click those three dots you see in upper right corner(aka settings), manage updates and then click the apps name, that you don't wanna get updates anymore.
