iPhone Apps

Recommended Posts

I have a one-month old iPhone and I haven't really found a whole bunch of apps for it, except Words with Friends and Temple Run. Does anyone know of any good apps? They don't have to be games, just anything useful or entertaining. And the price doesn't really matter as long as it's worth the couple bucks, though I would be more inclined to the free apps. Thanks :)

Of the above I use Star Walk, Google Voice, Skype, Shazam (find new music) and Words With Friends.

I also use Reuters News Pro, Shredder Chess, Cleartune (guitar/piano tuner), dropbox, Hipstamatic (retro photos but kind of getting played out now), Kindle, Epi (if I need a recipe fast) and Yahoo!Messenger.

Good luck, I find I use a fraction of the apps I have which is like most people I believe.

EVI just came out, it is very similar to Siri (0.79 euros I think). They had a huge amount of traffic so their servers went down, but they are upgrading. So it should be up and running well.

 

Whats also fun to do with an iphone is to jailbreak it. That will open a lot of other options that you wouldn't have before. Also you can get apps that aren't on the app store.
