I’ve gone a little app crazy I guess you could say, with 76 iPhone applications that have been listed on my post “Downloaded iPhone Apps“. The next question is which apps are my favorites and most used? Of course the Phone, Camera, Text, Safari, Mail, and App Store are at the top. Other than the vitals here’s the list of my favorite and most used apps that I’ve downloaded via the App Store.
Shazam
I’ve always wanted to be able to know what that song I just listened to on the radio was and the announcers would never say. Shazam comes in handy for knowing. All you do is hit the “Tag Now” button on the top right corner and let the app do the identifying for you.
Movies
The name speaks for itself. Movies lists a catalog of over 50,000 films and more than 10,000 trailers. You can see when and where the movie is playing at local theaters and even see what others have rated the movie before you go out and see it.
Facebook
Oh the Facebook app! What more do you need other than complete mobile Facebook? With the recent update it’s more functional than ever, you’re on Facebook, just without the computer. I would like to see the wall-to-wall feature on the application.
Remote
Remote turns your iPhone into a mobile iTunes library right from your computer. It comes in handy when you’re listening to music across the office or house and you don’t want to run all the way back to your computer to pick the next song. All you need is a WiFi and about 3 minutes to configure everything.
Twinkle
Twinkle is Twitter on location and picture steroids. You don’t even have to have a twitter account to chat with people that are nearby or halfway around the world. I use it to update my twitter account when I’m not around my laptop and to attach photos I’ve taken from my iPhone.
Wurdle
I must warn you I’m a huge Boggle nerd, born and raised I guess you could say. Wurdle takes Boggle to another level and integrates it with the iPhone. I’m in love. Wurdle claims in the App Store that it’s the most popular paid word game on the iPhone.
Scrabble
EA has brought Scrabble to the iPhone. I’m just reading what is in the new version and it seems that two players can link via WiFi to play against each other. That will come handy when my mom and I are bored together somewhere, no one will ever know what exactly we’re doing.
Tap Tap
Is like Dance Dance Revolution for your fingers. I can’t quite get the hang of it, but I’ll keep trying.
EA announced that The Sims 3 is scheduled for release on the iPhone along with Need for Speed Undercover. These are on my list to keep a look out for!
“EA Mobile today also announced nine titles in development for the iPhone and iPod touch, pending regional availability. This list includes YAHTZEE Adventures, EA Mini Golf, Lemonade Tycoon™, Mahjong, MONOPOLY: Here & Now The World Edition, SimCity, Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 09, Need for Speed™ Undercover, and The Sims™ 3.”
Happy iPhone-ing!!!
