This list is from MacWorld. They suggest 10 apps and randomly, here are 4:

1. Google Maps (free)
When it comes to online mapping services, Apple has made inroads, but Google still rules. The free Google Maps app gives you more than just maps: It also provides turn-by-turn navigation for driving, walking, and bicycling, andâ€"Apple Maps’s one major omissionâ€"public transit directions. It’s quick and easy to use, too.

2. Reeder 2 ($5)
Silvio Rizzi’s Reeder is an RSS reader, and if you’re not yet on the RSS bandwagon, you should be. The app, which can sync with your favorite RSS services or work as as a stand-alone reader, presents a simple interface for reading the latest articles from all your favorite websites. Tap a headline, and the article slides into view. If the feed in question shows only a summary, Reeder’s built-in Readability support can help: Reverse-pinch on the text (or tap the Readability button), and Reeder quickly loads the rest of the article automatically. Tap and hold on links to bring up a sharing window; Reeder makes it easy to email links, save links to Instapaper (another great reading app), post links to various social networks, and more.

3. Dropbox (free)
Because it can invisibly sync your files between all your Macs (and PCs), Dropbox is already magical. Add in the Dropbox iPhone app, and now you can access your Dropbox-synced files wherever you are.

4. Moves (free)
Your iPhone is not only an excellent communicatorâ€"it can be a very effective fitness tracker, too. The Moves app is an innovative way to combine traditional fitness tracking with a visual journal of your day: It uses your iPhone’s location and directional sensors not only to tell whether you’ve been sitting, walking, running, biking, or taking transportation, but also to chart your journey along the way.

At the end of the day, you get a timeline of your day with a full map of where you’ve been, how long you were there, and what you did during that time. It’s a nifty way to keep tabs on your fitnessâ€"and to keep an automated diary of your movements while you’re at it.
