Many of these are rather mainstream, but I find a surprising amount of people who don't know about them:

Google clock- a fantastic alarm, stopwatch, timer and normal clock. It's extremely reliable for getting me out of bed in the morning.

Ingress - a real life game with a great community where you go around with your gps capturing portals at various landmarks in cities. You'll get lots of exercise walking around, and probably become addicted.

Player FM - fantastic free podcast app. I don't know why people pay for podcast apps when this one is perfect.

Pac-man 256 - awesome endless pac-man game. It's wonderful.

Business Calendar - the best calendar app, in my opinion. It shows you bars on the days so you can just glance and see when you have time open. It's hard to explain, but try it and you'll see.

Google keep - best notetaking application.

Office lens - take pictures of stuff and turn them into pdfs. Great for students.

Zedge - ringtones and wallpapers galore.

Quizup - really fun quiz app that lets you do trivia on any subject with people around the world.

Chaos Control - pretty great to do list app with nice widgets.

Poweramp - best music player on android.

    I keep my phone not too cluttered with apps. I don't like all the permissions I have to give most of them, so I keep it down to essentials.

    I have a Droid Razr and it came with GPS and Navigation, which I never used because I never tried it and thought it would be a distraction when I'm driving, and I'm the kind of person who gets lost in my back yard. A perfect candidate for that app.

    I spent about 4 hrs lost a month ago and decided afterwards to give it a try. I absolutely love it. Haven't been lost yet and I often go places I've never been to before. It does drain the battery very fast so I have a lighter charger that I keep it hooked into while using it, but it has become my number one app.
