- OK, let's help people find the best native apps for the Playbook. I want you to list you top 10, just native apps though, not Android ports.
Here's mine in no particular order:
Score Mobile (Sports scores/stats on the go)
Splashtop (remote control your computer, even if you're not home)
Solar Explorer (great educational tool about the solar system)
Great Little War Game (fun war strategy game)
Theme Hotel (fun game where you build and customize your own hotel)
E-mmanuel+ (awesome bible app, multiple bible versions and works offline!)
What's Up (cool astronomy tool, great educational app)
Pixelated plus (super addictive puzzle/strategy game)
Secure Browser (very secure, stable browser)
Reelportal video chat (cross platform video chat)
What are yours?

- Thanks for the screenshot. I didn't buy this when it first came out because it kept scrambling the columns of cards. I remember that there was an update to the free version but the only change was a persistent, in-your-face nag screen - so I deleted it. I guess there's been an update. Good news because I liked the app (other than the marketing method).04-14-12 10:12 PMLike 0
- ChrisySeeker of the WayI haven't had a scrambling issue or any other with this app.
The nag screen didn't annoy me. You could continue to play even while it counted down.
I bought it to support the devs and because it's really well done.BuzzStarField likes this.04-14-12 10:26 PMLike 1 - Score Mobile

touchup pro (good photo edit)
photo note ( make minor marks on photos)
tweetbook (great twitter app)

I second the mention about Evernote, only in my case, I can't recommend the native app once I've tried the ported Android version. Hope they match versions soon.
Not to derail the OP and if anyone can PM the answers, I would really appreciate it:
1. Does TweetBook remember last position? This is the most important feature for me.
2. How good is Groovy Notes? I've been on the fence about it for some time now.Innovatology likes this.04-15-12 02:28 AMLike 1 - Files & Folders

Blaq (awesome twitter client... I love how it can bookmark the last tweet you read so you can just carry on reading from where you left off)
Remote Desktop (native RDP client so can remote desktop in to any machine I have credentials for)
Evernote (this was a good app until the point OS2 was released. Evernote don't actually care that their app has been broken for nearly two months... oh well)
Battery Guru (good battery health monitoring application)
Nobex Radio (good radio app, has some good UK stations)

Groovy notes- i still use the bridge memo pad, but i am slowly moving towards groovy more and more. The ability to search for notes by date, and the custom tab/catagorie set up makes organizing the different notes a breeze. I put it off as well, but now i wish i had got it sooner. I am in the process of tranfering all my memo's over to it by cut and paste.
I use mProductive on my bb which keeps me organized, and groovy notes doest that well for my notes at least on my pb. If mProductive came to pb, i would immediatly buy it.04-15-12 10:17 AMLike 0 - Apps
