As you know there are a near infinite number of apps out there. Let's post the best ones here.

Google Opinion Rewards. A survey app that pays a small amount of playstore credit on most surveys. The set up survey is one of those read carefully and follow instruction tests that weed out people not paying attention.

Chrome remote desktop. Lets you use your desktop from your phone, the interface is clunky but it works.

Wakie- A social alarm clock, you set the alarm then the app finds somebody else using the app to call you and wake you up. If you ever wanted to be woken up by a drunk Russian singing Jingle Bells in broken English then this app is for you.

I'm on mobile and can't link, but Shark Tracker is an app that tracks tagged sharks (and boats for some reason) on their journeys through the worlds oceans. Most stick by the coast but some of them go on weird pilgrimages to faraway places. I like to pick a favorite and root for them.

Edit:
Apple: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/global-shark-tracker/id570772231?mt=8
Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ocearch.activities&hl=en%22

Bomrek has a new favorite as of 19:16 on Nov 9, 2015

Merlin, a bird ID app from Cornell Lab of Ornithology. IDs any bird in NA with three questions.
http://merlin.allaboutbirds.org/

The Audubon Society has a version too, with a couple hundred more species, but I haven't tried it out yet. It's newer and I've had Merlin for longer, so I already know what all the birds around my town are. :3:

Well I tried this one and I think I already talked to the whole population of Saudi Arabia. Pretty fun.
