<div align='center'><!--sizeo:7--><span style="font-size:36pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->ESSENTIALS: Cydia Apps<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec--></div>

<div align='center'><a href="250" target=_blank title="Click to view full size"><img src="250" width="http://pix.gbatemp.net/248402/cydia.png" alt="User posted image" /></a></div>

It's been long since overdue. An essential list of cydia apps for all your iDevices (meaning iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad).

And yes this is half inched from <a href="http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showuser=177066" target="_blank">Guild McCommunist</a> (hope he doesn't mind)

I think it's important that App store and Cydia Apps are listed separately, to prevent confusion.
Some rules, first and foremost.

- <b>This is not a topic to flame Apple</b>. If you go here saying "-1 to all cuz apple sux" then I'll take the liberty of reporting your post and fetching you a nice warning increase, or at least a general feeling of disrespect from our mod staff. We've got a forum for trolling others, it's called NOWHERE.
- <b>Don't list stupid apps</b>. Apps should be ones that are useful or endearingly entertaining. Useless "one trick pony" apps are not allowed and I will not bother adding them. There's no point at having an app on the list that does nothing but play a joke on your friends or make a fart noise. Try to make them useful.
- <b>No apps that would interfere with the rules</b>. This means nothing relating to porn, warez, etc.
- <b>If an app only works on some devices, tell me</b>. Some apps will only run on iPhones and iPads, some will only run on iPads. If an app is limited to working on certain platforms then put that info in your post. If it works across all platforms then you don't need to specify.
- <b>I am allowing -1's</b> But please, give a good reason for why I should deduct a point.
- <b>List the price</b> If it's a paid cydia app (some people do actually buy them you know)
- <b>List the source(s)</b> If the App(s) you wish to add are not on the standard sources, list the source also (please check there's no rule breaking stuff in the source(s)
- As always, <b>keep in line with the Forum rules</b>. Don't list warez or ask for it in particular.

Also, a short description of the apps would be nice, though I don't mind doing it myself.

Now get posting!

Anything.

I've updated the OP with everyones stuff.

Any help with the price of Voice Control? (can't get it on my iPod) and any info on Five Column? I'm guessing it does what you'd think but I don't want to guess.

Five-Column SpringBoard is a MobileSubstrate extension that adds a fifth column to your iPhone's home screen.

Infinifolders - Decent
OpenSSH - Pretty much required for a jailbroken device IMO
iFile - Awesome, but not worth paying for +1 anyway.
SBSettings - REQUIRED, this is pretty much THE reason to mod your iPhone
MultiIconMover - Convenient but can get buggy with updates and send your phone into seizure mode.
-1 Winterboard - Piece of shit in every possible way, laggy as all hell, sucks, in every possible way.
-1 Mxtube - Crappy version of YourTube
YourTube 2 - Superior youtube downloader, new version is miles ahead of MxTube
-1 Five Icon Dock - Useless when considering you can just have:
Infinidock - Vastly superior in every possible way, does everything 5 Icon Dock does and more, no one should be using 5/6/7 icon dock cydia apps as of almost 6 months ago, Infinidock makes them all pointless.
-1 FakeCarrier - MakeItMine is better
MakeItMine - Better version of FakeCarrier
-1 5ColumnSpringboard - Pretty crappy, have had it crash on me several times in the past, there is a new version similar to Infinidock that simply allows you to choose number of columns (and rows) in Settings instead of having one app that's so single focused.
AdBlocker - Seems to work decently for now....
Activator - A good deal of cydia apps just automatically download it with it, it's awesome.
AutoClose Folder - Damn those folders staying open is annoying.
biteSMS - Awwwwwww HELLYEAH
My3G - Works okay, for now I'm preferring it over 3G Unrestrictor
Snappy - Regular camera is just TOO slow.

Updated again. No half votes, only +1 or -1.

I've put things with 0 votes or less (due to -1's) in a spoiler so it's faster to update if they get any votes.

I haven't used much on Cydia yet, so for now I can only +1 SBsettings and OpenSSH, though I should try some stuff eventually.
Have a wee look at things with more than one vote so far.
This is an essentials thread after all.

Not to start a flamewar but I had to make a couple points.

These.
Point 1:Mxtube was the FIRST native YouTube downloader,and is free,unlike YourTube.Yourtube is an extension to Youtube.app,Mxtube is a standalone app.Basicly,it all depends on a person's preferences on what they like or not.
Point 2:If you don't use Winterboard,what do you use?While I agree that it does tend to lag and some themes fail at times,there really isn't a practical,free alternative.Unless WinterSled gets a GUI,this is all the average user can use(Not everyone knows how to use mobile terminal).

No flamewars,please.
