Cool iPhone/touch Apps, what do you like?
 
I've found a few that I really like, Fluid 2 and the Koi Pond are all zenlike and relaxing.
There's an app called CoolFacts and it's free and neat. Geek facts, kind of like a virtual outhouse of useless knowledge, but fun to read.
I use a medical thing called I.T. to track my doctor stuff.
The Weather Channel, Google Earth, iHandy Level, Olive Tree Bible NKJV and a bunch of other stuff I use daily are very useful.

What do you guys use, enjoy, like, or suggest?

Re: Cool iPhone/touch Apps, what do you like?
 
The ones I use the most are :
Shop Shop (Good for shopping lists)
TrackerLite (To keep track of all those incoming packages)
Stanza (for reading)
craigsphone
checkbook
Mobile stogie

Re: Cool iPhone/touch Apps, what do you like?
 
A couple I like that haven't been mentioned:
pic2shop - you take a picture of an item's barcode and it brings back Amazon reviews of the product. Worked great when I was shopping for a coffee maker last weekend at Target.

Pixelpipe - easily upload photos/videos/blog posts to dozens of sites at once like Twitter, Facebook, blogspot, etc ....

Grocery Gadget - make a grocery list.

PandoraBox - searches the app store for apps that are on sale/made temporarily free by the creators.

What's the IT medical program do that you mentioned?

bowhnter 07-21-2009 07:16 PM

Re: Cool iPhone/touch Apps, what do you like?
 
Shazam, good for when you hear a song and you can't remember the name or who sings it...Shazam will listen, send it off and you will get the song and artist back.

It's called "Illness Tracker". It's to take daily notes on my condition, meds, doc visits, everything. It's excellent, but it could do so much more.
They're on the right track though. It's very useful for me.

I'm going to look into some of these other apps that everyone mentioned (hence why I made the thread).
The grocery list thing sounds great.
Thanks for all the help so far, guys. :)
Keep them coming!!!

Re: Cool iPhone/touch Apps, what do you like?
 
Evernote....great to have to cut and paste recipes, articles, or to use for notes, etc....syncs with desktop
Flixter for movie times
MLB at Bat lite for baseball scores
CBS Sports and Sportacular for scores etc.
Wall St. Journal and USA Today for news

Re: Cool iPhone/touch Apps, what do you like?
 
The following are the apps I use the most:

Pandora - Must have for music lovers. This app gets more of a workout than all other app on my phone put together.
The Weather Channel - Current weather maps and even video forecasts.
ESPN Scorecenter - Set up your own scoreboards.
Flixster - Movie times, info, locations and trailers.
Google - Search internet by voice (for those of us without a 3GS).
Google Earth
Currency - Quickly convert those pesky Euros to dollars.
Shazam - Name that tune. Works really well.
Skype
Yelp - Restaurant locator and review service.
Bloomberg - More detailed stocks and financial news service.

Oh yes. This saved us on a recent trip.
We normally put the baby to sleep listening to Classical music.
I have an iPod in her room ready to go for the night.

We didn't bring it on vacation, so I opened the app, chose a Mozart song, and the app did the rest. Used it every night next to the Pack N Play.

Check out the Remote app if you listen to music on your PC a lot. The app allows you to control the music that is playing on iTunes on your PC with your iphone. I used it while out on the patio to control the music playing in the house. It's great.

There's an app that turns your touch into a mouse via your wireless network. I thought it'd be cool, but the reviews were awful.
It was all buggy.

CameraZoom 1.1 was just released for $.99...Sounds handy to me

Re: Cool iPhone/touch Apps, what do you like?
 
I looked this up and resurrected it for some more ideas.
I absolutely love my iphone. It totally owns me. The more I use it, the more useful it is.

Anyways...
I'm sending this link to my beautiful, incredible, brilliant, goddess of a girlfriend so she can check out the suggestions.
If you guys have any more good stuff, we'd like to try them.

Oh yeah, we had another thread about the Navigon turn by turn gps app.
I got it, I totally love it, and they just upgraded it to add turn by turn with street names. It so kicks that ass off of my old gps, there's no comparison.
I'm gonna have to go see if I can find that thread and update it, too.

Thanks guys!!! :)

If you haven't checked it out yet, check out CardStar.

It's a free app that lets you put in all your store shopping cards. It makes the bar codes so your phone can be scanned at the register.

Re: Cool iPhone/touch Apps, what do you like?
 
Been having fun with a few new ones lately:

TuneWiki - lyrics on all your music in your phone/touch as well as multiple radio stations. Super wicked!

MiniGore - an addictive one-dimensional game that is so much fun to play. Run and gun!

Monopoly World - for all your Monopoly on the go needs. Price is a little steep at $5 but tons of playability. I think its worth it.

Layar - hard to explain what it does so I'll just say read the description. GREAT for urban/metro areas. Not sure how it would work in more rural locations.

shilala 10-15-2009 05:08 PM

Re: Cool iPhone/touch Apps, what do you like?
 
I just grabbed zombieville, tunewiki and MiniGore. They all look like fun. :)

Dropbox, free 2 GB account, store your music, photos and video in the cloud and stream or download directly to your Iphone. Very cool.

Evernote: Again, cloud storage for your notes and photos, with geotagging for both your notes and photos. If you travel very cool way to chronicle your path.
Also, free OCR for photos and docs you upload making them either tag or keyword searchable. Free account:banger

ReQall: Free memory jogging/location based app. If you're like me and have a thousand things going on, very handy.;)

I'm going to take a look at that stuff.
I downloaded a few apps earlier and got stuck on tunewiki. I'm still stuck on tunewiki. It reminds me of the old Meedio interface I used to use for our network jukebox. I'm kind of transfixed. :r
