with so many apps, its really hard to pinpoint 5, but at this moment the 5 that come to mind that I use regularly (in no particular order) are:-
some fun!
gets me home on time!
lets me watch stuff I'm buying and selling
all sorts of stuff!
helps the Mrs with cooking, craft, etc
though ask me tomorrow and my response would probably be different
also noteworthy (as I'm currently working there on contract, though this is no affilation etc... and anyway, its free) is
though I actually prefer the competitions app:-

Hard to narrow it down but 5 of my faves are:
GM Mobile - And I'm not even that big a fan of Yank Tanks but that 09 Camaro and the Volt are to die for!  I've never seen a car company give the public this much access to... well... everything - I guess when one goes to the US Govt cap in hand one has to become REALLY transparent.
iChalky - needs to be seen to be understood really. Great fun and keeps my kids amused too.
MultiCam Auckland - quick access to traffic cameras to keep an eye on Auckland's notoriously bad traffic.
Best Friend Caller - a speed dial app to easily call my wife.
National Bank iBank - a simply stunning internet banking app for National Bank customers. Check balances, transfer between accounts, setup AP's, make one off payments and pay my phone bill/power bill etc. Like having an ATM in my phone. If I ditch the iPhone I'll miss this app the most.

Mine have to be a mixture of jailbroken & App Store apps. It's pretty hard to pick a top 5!
1. WinterBoard
2. SBSettings (fast toggle switcher)
3. Tweetie
4. Wunder Radio
5. Byline (RSS Reader)
Also a notable mention for StatusNotifier which gives notifications for mail/rss/sms/calls/calendar. It's implementation with the LockInfo extension (data on Lockscreen) is awesome

like ryan mine are a mixture of jailbroken apps and official apps....
1. Qtwitter - update facebook and twitter status in one app whilst in any app!, no need to exit app just swipe down from the top to acess it.
2. Snatch - Multitouch trackpad for windows or mac and quick launch keys too!
3. Peggle - Its like crack its soooooo addictive.
3. Winterboard - why cant apple just buy this app and integrate it fully with OS.3
4. SBSettings - makes it quicker to ativate wifi.
5. Car Jack - Its GTA for the iPhone made by original coders of GTA1!!!
Got loads more on ma phone but they are the 5 most used for me! |

So many to choose from... I think my top five would have to be:
iMExchange - fills in the missing MS Exchange link with the ability to sync Tasks and Notes with your corporate server and set your out-of-office message while out of the office - brilliant.
Spreadsheet - as the name implies, it's a spreadsheet, and the oldest of the various spreadsheet apps available in the appstore. Possibly Quickoffice have bettered it, but thanks to regular updates, for the £3.49 I paid for a really basic XML-only worksheet app some months ago, I now have a fully-featured, native XLS workbook supporting app which works really nicely, so I can't complain.
National Rail - honourable mention to the freebie "MyRail" that did the same thing until NatRail squashed it, but this is still a great if more expensive app.
Concise English Dictionary - a comprehensive dictionary with a nice interface for just 59p - who doesn't want that?
Memiary - the really, really easy way to keep a "proper" diary.
I would have mentioned Flight Control but that's been done to death already, and anyway I can't get beyond 66!

@voda_jon Lol, you have two No.3's there! Actually just had a look at Car Jack after your mention, but i'm getting the impression that Payback is better...so gonna check that out instead. My better half is also completely addicted to Peggle, she even said to me last night in a rather excited child like happy tone.. 'I love Peggle!'

Has anyone seen the XE currency converter app? It's very,very, good!
I've always used the www.xe.com website to convert the currency amounts I've seen here on Esato. I just stumbled across the app on the weekend.

I've always used FXConverter, though XE is a secondary choice
as someone who sends money back to oz every month to pay the bills, I've never actually ever seen a particularly close match to either of the rates these quote, but the XE app does look good
since my original post here, the Sky News app has become available is has become a bit of a favourite
