Smart Phone users, please read

I am looking for suggestions for apps that people would actually use on their Android, iPhone, etc.

If there is an app that you wish you had that could be useful, please leave your suggestion.

I use advanced task killer to kill apps to save my battery, also make sure that you have it set on safe kill mode or it will kill your clock, meaning your alarm wont work unless you click on the clock again.

I think hes asking for suggestions of apps to make, not ones you already use.

Not sure if this exists or not but how about like a drag race log? Where you can input, 1/4 time/1/8 time, 60 time, track temp, date, etc, etc. Then have it track it all and graph it so you can see improvements, etc, etc.

You need to make an app that shows moon phases and hunting/fishing times.

Also just a tip try running it on moderate, but go in and uncheck your clock and it wont kill it and screw up your alarm but it will kill all the other crap you don't want. I don't have to worry about it since my EVO has upgraded to 2.2 but that is the way I ran it on 2.1 and it worked great.

I would really like an app for the android device that will automatically adjust my phone settings based on either time of day or location. That way when Im at work my phone rings loud, and text messages just vibrate. But when I get to class, my phone automatically turns to silent in my pocket. Once I leave again, it changes back. Or just set it by time.

Speed View made by Code Sector is the best I've come across. It doesn't have a bunch of useless stuff and its a clean interface.

I know of one app I would like, and pay for if its nice enough - that is a photo stitching app. The Droid X comes with the capability to take panarama pictures and the camera will automatically stitch (6?) photos together pretty seamlessly.

This would be cool. I hate when my phone goes off like when im in class. I always forget to change it back and forth. Good idea
