IPhone Applications Recommended

Although Shizam would be perfect candidate for posting this... here's another recommendation. I love the TrackID app on my SE, and now iPhone has Shazam available which is similar. One of the iPhonites in the office said it was the best free app he downloaded so far.

 

Midomi also does song identification. It generally only needs about 10 seconds of sampling, but it also handles singing or humming the tune.

Here's a few other apps I recommend for their quality:
Epocrates RX - medical drug reference
MySpace - slick interface for MySpace, but no blog support yet
eBay - quick access to auctions
AOL Radio - streaming music
WeatherBug - detailed weather info with radar maps
BoxOffice - movie information and showtimes
Google - basic, but it has autocomplete and is quicker than opening Safari then getting the keyboard up

Other good ones that I haven't used much, but should be popular:
AIM
Twitterific
Flashlight
PhoneSaber

I also like a few sites that are designed for the iPhone:
ESPN
PicasaWeb (have a lot of photos on here and this makes it easy to show them off on the iPhone)
Google Calendar (and Gmail, etc)
USAA

 

And on a lighter note, iPint is as unbelievably cool as it is utterly useless But hey, it's free!

 

This technically isn't an App, but it virtually is. On your iPhone (or iPod Touch) go to The Weather Channel. It should bring up the weather for your location. Then bookmark it to your home screen and viola, a nice weather app.

It displays current weather, 10 day forcast, radar map (with motion), cloud cover map (with motion), and cloud and radar map (with motion). Best of all you don't have to download anything. Just have some type of internet connection.

 

Does anyone know of an App that will let me access my newsgroups on the iPhone?

I can recommend, Recorder, Tuner Internet Radio , NYtimes, BoA, NPR, AOL Radio, Pandora.

Flashlight is neat.

 

I think I've got myLite now. It lets you specify the color, and also various strobe effects that rotate between colors. Oh, and there's also a lighter with flame.

 

UPDATE: Look for The Weather Channel application in the App Store in the next few weeks!

 

My new fav thing is a Web App (not sure the direct link) but it's the card game Phase 10, the only downside is you can only play against the computer, not other real players, but if you're looking to kill time, it's a great way to do it.

I recommend these:

For your PC, QuickPWN to jailbreak your iphone. Takes 10 minutes and it is so easy it's foolproof!

Via Appstore:
WeatherBug - More detail than the default iPhone weather app.
Shazam - Identify title/artist of songs
AOL Radio - Listen to CBS and AOL Radio stations
Pandora - Make your own radio station.
Last.fm - Similar to Pandora
FStream - If you like Shoucast and you need AAC support, this is the best.
Tuner - Listen to Live365 stations and a lot more.
Parlingo - Much better than AIM, plus support for MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, etc.
Fring - Use your favorite VoIP service and save on minutes and long distance.
i.TV - Your favorite TV listings. Scroll through a time grid or search your favorite shows.

Via Cydia or Installer:
SwirlyMMS - Send/Receive MMS on your iPhone
WifiToggle - Turn off/on WiFi with a single touch.
swapBT - Turn off/on your Bluetooth with a single touch.
VoipOver3g - Spoof apps into thinking they're running on WiFi.
Cycorder - Record video on your iPhone
PDANet - Tether your iPhone's 3G to your laptop via WiFi. Turns your iPhone into a WiFi router.
Chronus - Back up your Installer and Cydia apps. You'll need this every time you upgrade your firmware.
BossPrefs - Hide/unhide app icons, change home button behavior, change your battery indicator, and some other perks.

 

Here is my current is of favorite apps:

Bloomberg - gives a lot more market details etc.
Google - the voice search and general search is very goooood!
Recorder - improved versions now can pause during playback
TruPhone - if overseas, cheaper calls to anywhere via wifi - free iphone to iphone - of course works in the US too.
i.TV - listings of movies, TV , theaters, and Netflix
NY Times - gives the paper in a readable format
NPR Mobile - chose and listen to npr stories
NPR (from NPR website) - same, but a different interface
Tuner - FM tuner for stations around the US - I use the live stream of NPR from Boston
BoA - Bank of America iPhone interface for mobile banking
Yelp - locates you and tell you what food is nearby
mSecure - a good way to password protect your important numbers- Credit cards, ss#, etc
TWC - The weather channel. more details than the native iphone app. can have multiple cities
Conversions - what is a meter in inches?, $$ too.
Livestrong - track your food, weight, exercise - synch with webpage - over 450K food, restaurant nutrition listings listings
Shazam - I.D. that radio song that you don't know the title of
Pandora - picks and play music streams
AOL Radio - similiar to Tuner but complements the stations
MotoChaser - road game using the iPhone accelerator for driving
Translator from a choice of foreign lang to english
Amazon - you know
eBay - you know
Mobile Fotos - for uploading and viewing photos with Flickr

Also there are Solitare and Soduku games a plenty - still fooling with them.

There are some spreadsheet, word programs, but I haven't tried them.

 

Hey Bobolito, where do I go to get that SwirlyMMS link I am a little confused as to what Cydia or Installer is. I am still a greenhorn with this iphone.

 

If I may... Cydia and the apps below it are for jailbroken phones only.

I haven't seen the need to jailbreak my phone yet!

 

Thanks viewfly, those are my intentions as well. I do not want a $200 paperweight on my hands.
You and Haytham have been very helpful and I appreciate it,thanks.

 

Long waited Wall Street Journal, iPHone application. Free download, free content. Similar to the NYTimes application.

Wall Street Journal Content Now Free Via iPhone App - PC World

 

ATT application

AT&T today announced the availability of AT&T myWireless Mobile [App Store, Free], a new application released a few days ago that allows subscribers to manage their AT&T wireless accounts from their iPhones.


Supplementing AT&T myWireless, a popular service through Wireless, DSL Internet, Digital TV Services, and Phone | AT&T used today by millions of AT&T customers, the Mobile edition for iPhone brings greater ease and simplicity to virtually all elements of account management. The app's primary functions include:

- Bill and Pay – View monthly bill in full and make one-touch payments
- Voice and Data Usage – View all voice and data usage, including text messages
- Features – Browse and manage bolt-on features, including new texting plans and more
The application also allows parents managing several accounts through a family plan to view used minutes broken down by category, data usage, and text messages across accounts.

Article Link: 'AT&T myWireless Mobile' Allows iPhone Users to Manage AT&T Wireless Accounts

 

Here is my current list of favorite apps:

TextPlus - Free unlimited text messaging. Just have to deal with adds. You can also group message
ColorSplash - Loads photos in black and white mode and lets you add color back to the pic. Makes very cool pics and is very usable as you can zoom in very close for fine editing.
Facebook - self explanatory
iGlowstick - useless but cool. Turn your iphone into a glowstick
Zippo - useless but cool
shotgun - useless but cool
PhoneFlicks - Netflix app to manage your queue

 

I jail broke my phone and made all my icons custom. I sugguest this to anyone who wants to fully customize your iphone.

 

my fav. is cheap gas.

 

I just want to add this link: iPad/iPhone App News and Reviews :: App Advice as they review apps and also list some of the apps that go for free. I have seen many good apps go for free (however most of the apps are games). Just keep on the look out.

Not that many. I have about 268 apps. With your post you just reminded me that I need to clean up the unused. With that I think I will end with close to 200.

 

For those that go to the gym or even work out at home and are looking for a nice app to track your progress as well as your workouts, "Easy Gym Tacker" is a great app that you should check out. There is a spot to record all the workouts that you do as well as the level of difficulty. Here are a few screenshots of this app:

I had a problem to solve for a friend- transfer any file over local wifi or Bluetooth to other iOS devices ( not on the same apple ID) or to a Mac laptop. And not using the Internet. I think Dropbox requires an Internet link.

Works pretty well. Tried a photo and a word doc. Called InstaShare. Maybe other apps are there but this works. Works like Airdrop on the Mac
