People these days either say they got a smart phone or an iPhone. So, even though you didn't say what brand, can we assume it's not an iPhone
Apps are based on what you want to do:
Amazon Prime? Download Amazon Music
Netflix or HuluPlus subscriber? DL their apps
I use Slacker Radio to stream my music. There's a free version, but I pay the few bucks it costs for unlimited skips and a few other perks.
Live in a tight neighborhood or in an apartment/condo? DL Wifi analyzer to determine which channels are most congested, so you can choose one that has less interference.
Want to jot down some notes or make to-do lists? I like Evernote and Keep.
Do the email thing? Gmail and Live mail apps.
Wifi speed: speedtest
Want a "better" browser? I like Chrome
GPS: Google Maps
Gmail chat and text app: Google Hangouts
Keyboard: swiftkey
Others: Amazon offers a free app every day (I think they still do that.) Keep an eye on sites, like dealnews.com, for freebies and discounts, too.

Weather channel. Nice weather radar
I use Gasbuddy fairly regular to know where I am going to be when travelling to get the best priced gas. On a trip recently filled my tank for $1.86/gal vs $2.29 a block away. Saved enough to pay for lunch.

Be careful with flashlight apps, most are clever forms of maleware, especially the top rated ones.

Paid once, use it on multiple devices. Better that the Samsung (Tablet), HTC (last phone), and Sony (current phone) launchers by a long shot.

The apps that I've downloaded and use often that I found quite cool are:
Give those a look, you can always uninstall if you don't like them.
- CarPros - free car maintenance & fuel logging.
- Colornote - free post it notes with check list function.
- Checkbook app - 14 day trial. Checkbook register app, I liked it so much, I bought it.

I use the iHandy level on my iPhone. I do like the WiFi analyzer on the Android tablet.
Google sky or maybe called sky map. Really cool app, almost cheating at astronomy.
Waze
