TrustGo is an antivirus and an Android security app that is just what I decided to use after trying a lot.
Why?
1. Very good detection rates.
2. But still more lightweight than well known antiviruses like Avast.
3. Has a simple theft protection system through online free registration.
Assume you are trapped in an island in the dark and are trying to seek help or perhaps waiting for your friend who can't see where you are standing at night..

If you are a tourist in the UK or the US and you found yourself stuck unable to understand unofficial English words related to their culture, this dictionary may aid you out.

Ever wondered why your WiFi setup at home suddenly stopped working as good as before? Check this..
Every WiFi / access point will provide its signal with one of 14 or 16 (depending on brand) frequencies called channels. If you are on the same channel your neighbor is on, chances are there is signal interference/distortion. You have to log in your device settings and change the channel.
Here is the problem though..how are you going to know the channels the other WiFis are connected to? WiFi Analyzer app is the solution through which thou will be able to scan surrounding devices. It will provide you with the necessary info.
As you can see on the screenshot these WiFis are connected on the same channels but their owners are probably not aware of it. One day when the interference becomes so strong they will have to change the channels or experience problems in connectivity.
In my opinion, kobo is the best reading experience Android has to offer.
The kobo books database has lots of free books as well as paid ones with affordable prices. It is a neat application with constant improvement through updates.
The best beloved feature in my opinion is the instant dictionary available for you the moment you hold on a word. I've waited for it for so long and kobo hasn't failed me.
kobo is also found on Apple store which means if you switched to Apple products you will still enjoy the books you purchased in the cloud.
You loved something you were reading on the internet or a book and wanted to highlight or express an idea? Then take a quick screenshot and share it with the skitch app and start working on it.

Edit: Level Meter app works more accurately on my phone, and I recommend it as a replacement to this app (1 March 2013).
Open this app and put your phone on your table, if the green bubble is not in the middle circle then the table is not on a leveled surface, or perhaps your phone is slightly inclined. And if you are facing this app you want to find out where the 45 degrees to your left will be, this is the app for you.
This app is mostly useful for engineers but it might come handy sometimes.
Just in case you want a very simple and easy to use mind map app that's working great :-)

When I matched this app with a physical ruler I found it surprisingly accurate.
A very simple app to measure tiny stuff. Depending on your phone size it will give you an average of 3 to 10 cms long.
If you haven't tried the Flipboard app yet you're missing the fun of reading news on Android!

Flipboard is the app if you want to skim what's going on life quickly and with style.
