I've checked out many lists. Most have a few apps in common, of which I either wasn't that impressed with or I had already found them on my own. Occasionally I find a hidden gem in them.

I am always skeptical of lists in magazines, some of which you can read the lists, then flip through the magazine or surf their site to see the ads for the very products they are pushing in the list.

I selected a few from those lists and other I found on my own.

Any more suggestions before I close this?
