So, I got an iPhone. What apps do you love? What apps do you use constantly? I am compiling a list of things to look into when I have time to download them and am not in the complete boonies. I am assuming that once I have downloaded said recommended apps, my life will become perfect.
Right? Right?!
Obvious personal choices: Your bank’s app, att app, credit card apps, weather channel.
Cool ones: urbanspoon, cellfire(coupons) flixster (movie and dvd release), ebay, craigsphone(craigslist),trapster (speed traps,etc.), wootwatch, markthespot (att app to advise them when your call drops)
Life changers: Pandora, iheartradio, lastfm, tweetdeck (follow FB and twitter on same app).
Current Favorite: Dragon (dictation app)
Oh yeah, all of these are free!
“Life changers” made me laugh.
Shazam–awesome when you want to know who sings a song…
Bump
Magic 8 Ball
colortilt
papertoss
iSwap Faces
Facebook
I only have a few, but like these. Wish we could get pandora over here….
C
Pandora, Rhapsody, scrabble, scramble 2, map quest, Words free(it’s like scrabble-its free, but you can’t link it to FB, camera plus-gives you a lil zoom…could go on and on…….
Thanks, Meilin!
Can you get Last.fm, cass?
Lots of great recommendations already (and some I need to check out myself).
When I was still into Twitter I used Tweetie (although Jason’s rec of TweetDeck may be better if you’re still on Facebook).
I use Flixster (and sometimes Fandango) to see what movies are playing and to purchase tickets. IMDb has also recently released a new (free) app, but I haven’t used it much yet.
I have one called “AroundMe” that’s useful when I’m in an unfamiliar city. It uses your phone’s GPS to identify nearby restaurants or shops or what-have-you. I also have one called “RepairPal” that I’ve not needed to use yet (luckily), but it will supposedly help you find a nearby repair shop, etc. when your car breaks down. If I had AAA I suppose I wouldn’t need this.
Get Amazon.com’s store app if you buy a lot of stuff there (and I bet you do). You can look things up, add things to your wish list, and (of course) make impulse purchases.
Since you have a WordPress blog, you might want to get the WordPress app. It’s very well done; you can make new posts or edit previously published ones, check comments, etc.
Games: I like “Fieldrunners”, “RastaMonkey”, “Rolando”, and “Canabalt”. I have definitely gotten my money’s worth out of “Fieldrunners” and “Canabalt”. Great time sinks.
Oh, and “CatPaint” is a LIFE CHANGER.
Thanks, Lyle.
And Lyle, I am scared to ask what CatPaint is. . .
Currently playing with the initial apps I downloaded, and haven’t gotten bored with those yet, so can’t wait to see what all of these do. Only have so much time, though!
And I think Todd is getting jealous of my love affair with my iPhone.
