[writing-my-dissertation-on-BBs]

I've never paid for any apps and with all the free ones I don't see why I would need to, so I was just wondering which apps people actually pay for and why!!?

[jlsparks]

I paid for the following and don't regret having done so:
1. MeterBerry-> Because I'm OCD and a control freak, and appreciate the quick access MB gives to important info.
2. QuickLaunch-> Because I appreciate the app's functionality, especially when using themes with limited apps on home.
3. SmrtGuard->Because I don't necessarily trust GOOG with my data, but I like SmrtGuard's interface (online and off).
4. BerryWeather->Because I tried all of the free weather apps and none could hold a candle to BeWeather IMO.
5. TazzleIt->Because it's very handy to print remotely via BT when I'm in different offices throughout the day, or when traveling.

I do regret having paid for a much longer list of apps (and twice as long a list of themes), but I'm not going to speak poorly of them and therefore won't list them.

Some others paid for but not worth the mention.

i will not pay for applications.....

I do not mind if they have ads on them. like Uber Twitter does but nope not gunna happen. Esp. after having a Android Phone and seeing TONS of free applications, and games.... i mean like scroll for 4 hours and not touch all of them...

applicastions i use
1: Nimbuzz - Facebook Chat, Y!, AIM, Google Talk, Window Live, all in one spot - plus i have AIM, Y!, Google Talk, Windows Live all seperate as well.
2: Google Sync - keep my wife's and my calendar undated and in sync.
3: VodaFone Update - Update my twitter and facebook @ the same time
4: Google Voice
5: Fix Mo Tools - keeps track of my memory / battery and some other goodies
6: Slacker Radio
7: Weather Bug
8: SuperPages Mobile
9: Buzz'd
10: speed test
11: Zona Snap - screen capture and send to Photobucket
12: I heart radio - so i can listen to the BearCats on 700wlw
13: Mini Paint
14: shazam

and i refuse to pay for a theme again, i paid for two from popular theme builder and they were both junk, i feel we have the best group of free theme builders around here.

Quicklaunch
Pocket Informant - VERY good calendar program, smokes standard BB calendar
Ascendo Money - checkbook program, a little pricey but it comes with device interface and the program for your computer to sync it on, much cheaper than other checkbook programs to sync with desktop programs if you don't have MS Money or Quicken.

I've paid for a lot more, but I don't regret paying for these at all.

[Atteman]

Quicklaunch
Berryweather
Bebuzz

Those are the ones i've bought.

[newman99]

Quicklaunch
Vlingo

I use as many free apps as possible but I don't regret paying for the
above apps I listed.

smrtalerts- email and sms pop-up
assistant premium- keeps me organized with my transactions and minutes
bbsmart alarms pro- gets me up
shazam- love it
smrtguard- security
laterdude pro- organization tool
quicklaunch- makes apps easily accessible
berry weather- needed weather for more than 1 city

I rarely pay full price for any app because there are so many coupons and sales floating about.

[djransom]

Quicklaunch & Meterberry for me

[dille_21]

bubble defense 2... that game is the ****.

[risingsun124]

Ascendo Money - Works perfectly, great interface, fully customizable, and I use it multiple times everyday. Can't function without it.
BizTrackit - Does EXACTLY what I need and I used it all day everyday.
PocketInformant - Really customizable, good interface, great appearance, keeps me organized in many ways.
Ascendo Data Vault - Great interface, secure, and works as it claims.
BerryWeather - Developed my theme with a weather slot and like this one the best. Hate the new advisory alerts in the notification area though. May junk it soon because of this.
Beejive IM/Messenger - Did the trial and had to purchase. Great interface and works flawlessly. Really paying for "nice looks" on this one.
QuickLaunch - Totally changed the way I use my BB. Can't live without it.
BBAlerts - First app I bought since I wanted control of my LED. Allows you to fully customize the colors by mixing 256 levels of RGB. I haven't tried any others in this area.

Just my opinion, but if you haven't run any pay apps, you are truely missing out on some quality applications. There are reasons why some are free and others are pay. Not saying all free apps aren't good. I'm just saying that in some instances there are just not any free apps that can measure up. On the flip side, there are a lot of pay apps that are junk. So be careful and use the free trials when you can. I've bought some junk, but that's all part of it I guess. The above listed are really what makes my BB such a necessary part of my everyday activities. Very few free apps have made the cut for me.

[thosialg08]

yep, quicklaunch, berrybuzz and berryweather. All fantastic must haves. I bought all of them with coupons pretty much half off. Don't buy full price, there are always sales going on.

e-GPS is also another good program I think. Seems to do what SmrtGuard does but but no yearly fees. It's also not as pretty or as totally functional as SmrtGuard.

to clarify, I was referring to the email pop it program.

I've just been taking note of how many replies included quickLaunch, I'll have to give that one a go

It's a good program, the only downside is that they don't give you a trial period. I did like you're doing now, I was surprised by the amount of people that were using it. It took me about 2 months to try it. I've been happy with it. It was money well spent for me. If you use a lot of programs and want shortcut keys to open them, then this is a program for you, if you don't use a lot of programs or your not interested in keyboard shortcuts, don't get it.

[Flightless_Bird]

QuickLaunch is currently on sale for 2.49 I think until tomorrow. Love it.

[mcgeorge-ucsd]

1. Quicklaunch (if u can only buy one app, buy this one)
2. Meterberry (monitors your memory, battery, device temperature, and event logs. I'm not aware of a free app that can do all this)
3. AddOnis (super utility app: easily send emails/sms/phone log to memopad/tasks/calender or vice verca. Reverse phone number lookup. Add sms signature. This app has a host of features that should have been included on your device in the first place)
4. Berryweather (for a long time, I also thought why pay for a weather app. I've tried nearly every free one and have been frustrated with each for one reason or another. Finally purchased BW and I don't regret it)

Of the apps that I have paid for, these r the ones that I would confidently recommend to anyone
