favorite iphone apps?
« on: 30 Oct 2009, 11:14 »

(excuse me if this thread has come and gone)

I just got an iphone (siiigh) and I want some apps. what are your favorites, if you have an iphone? preferably free unless they're really great.

when our flight got delayed in chicago I bought an ocarina on my mom's iphone. it's fun to play, you blow into it.

What a coincidence, I was literally just 15 minutes ago showing someone an app I've started developing. Shouldn't this go in the computer forum?

The Beer app is pretty good. Also the iFart app.

Emaline - this isn't the thread to be bashing the iPhone. If you want to do that, go somewhere else. Your post is not constructive.

Everything Tommy mentioned is really great - the facebook app especially. It recently got a huge update making it incredibly easy to use and actually enjoyable to use. The Skype and AIM apps are also pretty great. Shazam is really handy and I've used it a bunch of times to figure out what song is playing on the radio or whatever and every time it has been super accurate.

If you're into puzzle games or whatever TanZen Lite is free - it's one of those puzzle deals where you have to fit the tiles into a weird shape until it's all filled. Bejeweled 2 is also pretty fun, but I think you have to pay for that one.

If you're after some kind of notes app - I wouldn't go past Evernote. You can grab Evernote for mac and PC and anything you put into Evernote on the web, your mac/pc or your iPhone, will sync up. It's really useful for keeping your school notes or grocery list or whatever with you at all times.

For twitter, if you are a twitter person, I use Twitterifc.

For IRC - I use Rooms - also not free but it's the best one I found.

That's really it, to be honest, I don't have a lot of apps on my iPhone at all.

Uhm, I am pretty sure Emaline's post was a joke?

Also, I want an iphone, because I have a phone, and an ipod, and combining the two into one would be pretty handy. But I also just like shiny new things, so who knows what I will get when my contract runs out. I have heard bad things about iphones not getting calls or dropping out on the Optus network (which is what I use), so I am unsure.

Combining the two is nifty and all but it really depends on how much music you have.  If it's over 32G than forget it unless you can pare it down enough.

Remote is an app made by Apple which allows you to control the iTunes on your computer via your home Wi-Fi network. You can also set it up so friends can make "requests" with their iPhones. Pretty neat for parties.

Convert is the best conversion app I have found  so far. It does Angle, Area, Data (Kilobytes->Megabytes and etc.), Density, Energy, Length, Mass, Power, Pressure, Speed, Temperature, Torque, Typography (Points->Picas etc.), Volume and Currency with almost ridiculous amounts of units for each category. Nice interface, too.

Urbanspoon is super neat. You may have already heard of it as it was featured in the iPhone ads a little while back. Urbanspoon finds restaurants in your city. It has a slot machine-like interface which allows you to "hold" categories of Price Level, Location and Food style (Italian, Kosher, Fast Food etc.). You then shake your phone and the little slots whirr around and then it finds you a restaurant. You can also view restaurant locations with Google maps, and read reviews on the web. Urbanspoon also has a kind of cool social networking component which means you can share recommendations and read and write reviews for places you've been.

AroundMe is very much like a much-expanded version of UrbanSpoon in that you can view not just restaurants but also Apple Stores, Banks/ATMs, Bars, Coffee Shops, Gas Stations, Hospitals, Hotels, Movie Theaters, Parking, Pharmacies, Supermarkets, Taxis and Theaters. It has full utilisation of Google Maps so you can see locations as pins and get directions within the app, save locations, email coordinates, view contact details for businesses and even post to Twitter or Facebook.

BubbleWrap is another one of those incredibly simple yet crazily addictive apps. It's exactly what it sounds like. Poke at your iPhone to pop bubble wrap, do it as fast as possible, set high scores.

Rope'n Fly is basically Spiderman for the iPhone. You've got a dude who shoots ropes to swing between buildings. Your objective is to keep him off the ground for as long as possible. This app is paid but there is a "lite" version for free.

I Am T-Pain: AutoTune. on your iPhone. Surprisingly high quality, it's actually a strip backed version of the Antares plugin which is probably in the top two for professional autotune plugins. Download tunes and sing along, save recordings, choose the key you tune to. This is a paid app.

Tap Tap Revenge: Guitar Hero or Dance Dance Revolution for your iPhone. Little notes fly down your screen and you tap the phone in time. Plenty of free tracks to download, surprisingly good artist selection. There's a few verisons of this. TTR 2 is free, the others are a dollar or so.

Who cares about carrying all their music around with them anymore?  I mean, I have about 100gb of music and am perfectly happy with about 4gb of it on my 8gb walkman phone.  I really only ever listen to a few albums at once.

I can't remember the name but I like the app where the louder you scream at your iPhone in public the greater the distance between you and other people becomes. I haven't gotten that loud yet but apparently at a certain point you can make people start crying. Pretty sure it's free.

The Last.fm app is really handy since I don't have any music on my iphone yet.

Camerabag is a very cheap set of camera effects that make photos a little nicer or a lot cooler, ready to upload or just enjoy on your phone.

I don't know what your equivalent would be, but an app to monitor your phone bills is very handy.

iDaft is infinitely amusing.

I'm not sure why, but iSpy is just fascinating in concept and execution, although the results are fairly mundane. You can look through, and control, CCTV cameras from around the world! Yesterday I saw some japanese people disembark from a small boat, and other japanese people fishing off a breakwater. Strangely relaxing.

doesn't CC stand for Closed-Circuit? Meaning...not connected to the outside circuits? What is the alternative? OCTV? I don't know much about the subject, honestly.

At any rate, that is pretty cool and kind of makes me wish I had an iPhone...until I remember the fees.

whoah necro but I totally just discovered the best free app I've found yet. It's MyPaint, an app for drawing with your finger. There are a whole bunch of apps like this, but this is my favorite free one (a friend recommended Paintbook, a paid app, and then I started looking around for free apps that do the same thing.) I was initially just after the drawing functionality and it's great for that, but an unexpected bonus is that you can load photos as the background to paint on top of. sweet!

I know a few people who have made apps for the iPhone. My old housemate made an app for some site that advertises 'good deals' in Ottawa. It was a pretty bad site that just had things labeled as good deals that actually weren't, but he got 10 cents per download of the free app so he got everyone to download it. It was called something like 'good deals ottawa' but Apple has subsequently removed it from the app store due to 'limited functionality' or something.

Another friend made "The best calorie-counting app" according to Men's Health UK. It is called serious nutrition tracker and is pretty well designed and a great app, if you happen to be a person who likes to keep track of what you're eating. I neither have an iPhone nor care enough about my nutrition intake to document it, but it is pretty much exactly what it should be.

The third friend made a webcomic reading app that saw Scott Kurtz sick a mob of rabid webcomics fans on him. He didn't implement his business model in, shall we say, the best of fashions, though he did have the best of intentions.

Ok guys, I am onboard the iPhone train.  Hannah updated her plan today and got herself an iPhone, which means that the one I got a couple months ago has now come back to me.  We did this because the HD2 fell flat for a number of reasons, not the least of which the fact that occasionally smses will just not send.  Pretty great!

I've gone through this thread and have already found a bunch of cool apps, thanks!  Here's a couple I like:

TripView/TripViewLite: If you live in Sydney and take public transport then this is a great app.  It gives you easy to read, up-to-date timetables for Sydney trains, buses and ferries.  I am probably going to buy the paid version soon because you can't save trips/routes on the free version, and because the dude deserves the money.

Defender Chronicles: Basically this is a tower defense game, but side-view instead of top-down.  It makes good use of pinch to zoom, the graphics are good, and there is a free version with a decent amount of playtime to see if you like it or not (I'm still playing the free version, can't say much about the paid version)

Pocket Tanks: This is just an artillery game, but I've always been a sucker for these games and at the moment even the free version has enough different kinds of weapons to keep it interesting.

Holy shit Joe, I started playing GalCon earlier this afternoon.  It's like they've taken the hours-long Space Civ type game and condensed it into a deliciously simple 30 sec - couple minute game while retaining much of the core strategic elements, just chucking out all the minutiae.  They could make an alternate game-type where you could upgrade the planets somehow for when you had more time to play with, but other than that it's already really really cool.

fuck yeah

Did you ever play the original Master of Orion? Not the overcomplicated sequels, but the awesome original? GalCon with MoO-style upgrades and races would be fucking amazing.
