Swiftkey is actually good now! I used swype for years. It was great during the beta, after that it became complete shit. Got slow, started crashing and removed all profanities from predictions. It was surprising to me how many of those I require to express myself adequately. I just went back to the standard keyboard for a while but swiftkey seems to do the job now.

The first ubuntu phone is getting released soon. I'm not sure I'd need it for anything, but it seems really cool. I haven't found an app that wowed me in a long time. Google maps and Evernote is pretty much all I use and I've recently ditched evernote for a spiral notebook and a stabilo.

I can't praise nanoloop enough. If you're at all interested in doing music stuff on your phone, this is by far the most appropriate app given the limitations of the platform. I play with it for 'bout 10 min. a month, but that easily makes it my third most used app.
