Google Reader (gReader)
Google Reader lets you group all the blogs you follow together to see all their posts at the same time without having to go to each individual website. I follow many blogs, mostly faith based and some personal finance ones. It's great that I can read them on the go, or quickly see who's updated. A new feature I've discovered is that you can get the app to read you posts audibly. It's pretty neat, but it says Jesus's name with the Spanish pronunciation lol.
3/29/13 Update: Of course right after I posted this Google announced that it was taking down Google Reader July 1. So far I've been trying out Feebly as an alternative. Feebly syncs all feeds from Google Reader.
You Version
This is a Bible app. You can download different versions of the Bible to read offline when you're not getting a good signal. I currently read the New International Version most of the time. You can bookmark scriptures of the same topic together for easy reference. There's also devotionals and reading plans you can complete. I read the whole bible in 2011 with a reading plan.
Spotify
Whenever technology and music meet, I'm in my happy place. Spotify is a virtual streaming collection of almost every song ever made. You can make your own playlists and even listen to them offline. Once I stopped listening to secular music, this was the perfect place to find new favorite songs and artists. I like it better than Pandora because I can pick exactly what I want to listen to.
Honorable Mention
Stitcher
I don't use Stitcher that much anymore, but it's great if you listen to podcasts a lot. In a nutshell, it's like Google Reader for podcasts.
