New iPad : Essential apps?

[Marcel]

What apps do you have installed on your iPad. What do you consider absolutely essential?
Free or paid (Although free preferred )

In the few days I've had mine, I've installed a number of those recommended here.

Looking through the top free and paid apps is always a good start.
Appshopper is good for seeing the price history so you can if the app you want is often put on special offer.
The tp forum app is also a must
Flickstackr is also a very good Flickr app.

[nikonuser]

Long time exposure calculator
iDepth of field calculator
Night Sky - point your iPhone/iPad at the sky and it names the stars for you....amazing!!
Temple Run
Talking Tom 2

 

[LongLensPhotography]

Free:
dropbox - is a must
Wi-Fi finder
myzenfolio - if you deal with them
Wodpress
GoogleEarth
Evernote
Free Boks
Epicurious - (recipes)
TuneIn Radio
Skype
TeamViewer
CloudOn

That's not quite enough but a start.

Paid
iPhoto - not worth it (nothing really that great, no RAW support)
Photogene - really not worth it, iPhoto is probably better. No RAW support contrary to writeup. App only loads a previews for editing.
there are a lot of poor low quality apps, without any trial so beware and don't jump in spending money. Email devs if need be. I'm personally not spending any more on anything not absolutely essential.

Filterstorm
Snapseed

Laminar .....a new one I have come across today also which seems to have good reviews so far, mind you, only 5 reviews, its is free though.

I know, some of em are complete crap. I gave my iPhone to my daughter last year, so when I plugged my iPad in, it tried copying a gazillion crap apps (Horoscope checker, mood scanner et al) to it.
I had to quickly cancel then run a vacuum through my iTunes to delete them all
