Your top 5 Most Used Android Apps

i love android and the many apps it has. I have many favorites but here are my top 5 most used apps.

I own N9 linux-meego based phone so i ocassionaly use on Android:

trackid

mapfactor
whatsapp

TV Sideview
ES File Explorer

WEQ4U and SayNoTo0870

i personally like cyanogenmod better than android but most of my most used apps are actually widgets that stay on on my home screens (even though i rarely click on them):
ap news
espn score center
accu weather
go calendar
image gallery photo frame

also i like lbe security (runs like a daemon in the background) to disallow the crazy permissions of most apps (why does mixzing music player need access to my location ?).

here are some of my other favorites (if people dont mind editing what application the programs listed above cover):

Quote:

clockworkmod (bootloader allows to install different roms)
air calc (floatable widget tip calculator)
contact vibrate (set different vibrate rhythms for each contact)
connectbot (bash terminal)

Dell Venue 8 tablet with Android 4.4.2

Lyne -- good game!
FBreader -- reading while traveling
Chrome -- web, email, news

Don't use it for much else, but I'm going to look up some of the suggestions here.

I have a Nexus 5 and the most used apps on it are:

01. Facebook
02. Gmail
03. Evernote
04. CM Browser
05. A game (I love hidden-object games - I do often play some, but right now I'm hooked to Clash of Clans :) )

I've got a Galaxy Note 10.1, which I primarily use for reading. But I'm kind of confused here about which ebook reader is THE best. I've tried quite a few ones, but couldn't yet settle on one.
