My Favorite iPhone Apps

Having spent alot of time writing about Computer based applications that I have been using (and I have a lot of catching up to do..!), I thought it would be fun to write a list of my favorite apps for the iphone. Whenever I meet someone with an iphone, generally the first thing we do is compare and discuss the apps we have, so there is my inspiration to do it here. I also use a range of apps for work and education, so there is some value is posting this list here at the GOOD WORK stamp.!

In no particular order, my favorite and most used apps are:

1. Twitter - Great to keep up with my twitter feed whilst on the run. I would often fall 5 or 6 days behind until I installed the app and used it regularly. Now I don't miss a thing..!

2. MakeUseOf - Only just started using this and it is great.. Some new and interesting products and articles from which new suggestions are made based on what you have previously read. Great for tech resources and keeping up to date with technology.


3. TuneIn Radio - Thousands of radio stations at your disposal. Great for listening to live sport in other states and countries.

4. Kindle - A great reader with links to Amazon, easy to download books and read on the run. Text size can be adjusted, along with a number of other settings.

5. Meporter - Not a lot of people using this yet but I think it is a great idea. Write an article and post it, along with images for instant news in your area. Potential is great, I just wish more people would get on board and give it a go.

6. OzTV - Never go without a TV guide again..! Australia wide, all stations, too easy..!

7. TeeToGreen (Pro) - This is my favorite golf GPS app. I have tried a few and always come back to this one. Recording scores is possibe, but I just use for the great GPS interface.

8. Game Time - Another sport app that I use to keep up to date with the NBA. Live games can be purchased for about $1 and plenty of archive footage is available. Was awesome keeping up to date with the recent finals.

9. Egg Timer - Didn't have one last month when I really wanted a boiled egg, downloaded it free and have been enjoying soft boiled eggs ever since..!

10. Localscope - A bit like doing a google search but results are sorted in terms of distance away from you. I was looking for Thai, easy, 4km away.. Good for when you are out of town.

11. Ebay - A simplified mobile version, great for those last minute grabs when you are away from the pc and aren't a sniper..!

12. TCU - Mobile banking... Teachers Credit Union has a mobile version of their site, easy to access and complete simple transactions.

13. Find iPhone - Find my iPhone is essential for all iphone users. Find your lost iphone via gps in an instant. You can also disable and send a message to your phone begging for it back..!

14. Pkt Weather - A bit more juicy than the standard weather app on the iphone. Able to monitor multiple locations and great 7 day forecast.

15. Evernote - Cloud storage at its best. Download this onto all of your devices and files are easily accessed from all. I have three PCs and the iphone, transporting documents between them is as simple as a right click.

16. SchoolBook - Takes a bit of time to import your timetable, then, never forget what classes you have coming up ever again.. Great for checking what work needs to be prepared for the next day.

Hope you enjoyed my list. I look forward to suggestions and recommendations. Please feel free to comment below and don't forget to follow me on Twitter.
