This might seem like a super obvious choice for a Christmas present, but seriously, if you have a loved on that doesnt have it, you cannot go wrong with it. I made a promise to myself that I wouldnt get an iPhone until my Photoshop Crash Couse Training DVD was done, so Saturday, I FINALLY, picked it up. I feel like an idiot for not getting it sooner, it is soooooooo cool! I love it! I am particularly interested in the Applications and was wondering if anyone had any good recommendations for apps or games. The App store is HUGE, and its hard to navigate so I wanted to throw this out there is see what you guys thought.
In your opinion, what are the Best Applications for the iPhone? (please include what they are called and what they do). Thanks!
I use the free app called Vlingo. You can seach your contacts, make a call or search the web just by saying it. You can even do a facebook update.
wow! are you serious?? thats freaking awesome!
Wikipanion makes wikipedia easier to use on an iphone.
Facebook app is pretty awesome.
WordPress app for on-the-fly posts.
Pandora for mobile internet radio.
Shazam (which snippet of music and then tells you what song it is)…for awesomeness.
Hey Mike, These are the apps i use the most and the ones i like. Movies(flixter), Shazam,facebook, Pandora,google, the weather channel, scoremobile. hope it helps.let me know if you have any questions about the apps i mentioned.
the best ones IMHO are free. Pandora radio, listen to music from artists you like for free and have the ability to buy it from itunes if you want. We spent 20 hours in the car on a recent road trip and did nothing but play with this music app and decide if songs were "thumb worthy" (thumbs up or thumbs down). Urbanspoon is pretty cool, Say Who voice dialer. and Jellycar is a fun little app. I have had mine for 2 months and have yet to pay for any apps. I have been to consumed with the free ones to care about buying any. Maybe I am missing out on something great, but I am not aware of it, so I am OK with that. 🙂
Speed Dial 1-4 for 1 touch designated dialing.
I have "Shazam" and it is by far the best. Have you ever been sitting in you car and a song comes on the radio and you don’t know who sing it or the name. Just hit the app and "Tag". It will listen to the song and than tell you the name, artist and let you watch the video as well as download the song from itunes right than. I tag a bunch than go on itunes and get the ones I want. Also if you have a mac and have garage band you can make free ring tones of you songs and put them into your Iphone. Hit youtube and type in free ring tones iphone and it will show you how to do it. Good luck I love my Phone.
Well you are a photographer so check out PhotoCalc, It has several mice features but the one I use the most is the sunrise sunset times.
I know you are on facebook so the facebook app is a must have.
iTalk is great for voice notes,it even lets you sync those voice notes to your computer.
Air sharing is a nice app that lets you transfer any file to the iPhone just as if it was a network hard drive.
And lets not forget Google Mobile App that lets you do a google search by just saying what you want to search for.
Just came across TiltShift that looks like a interesting one.
these are incredible apps. Im trying all of them out. Thank you for the suggestions, and if you have more please keep them coming
