Nexus 4 App Recommendations

As per subject. I've just got myself a 16GB Nexus 4 and have loaded my music and some books to it. Apps I've installed so far are:
  • Kindle
  • BT Wifi (I have BT Infinity, so it can be useful for finding hotspots while out and about)
  • Scan (a QR and barcode scanner)
  • BBC News
  • Facebook ( :) )
  • Twitter
  • Amazon
  • VLC Player
  • TVCatchup
  • Coin Dozer ( Hey! I like it! :) )

So what other apps are recommended? Particularly things such as power management, call recording. Other recommendations?

    Don't forget the MSE eBay local deal finder - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.moneysavingexpert.android.ebaydeals

    I'm guessing Google Maps is already installed.

    A lot of things are going to depend on your interests
