Which iPhone Apps are worth getting?

[Spiritual_Beggar]

Ok guys n gals,

Recently got one of these iPhone puppies.

And I'd like to know which (if any) of the iPhone apps are any good/ worth getting?

So for those of you out there with an iPhone, which Apps have you got, and why?

Thanks

SB

To be fair, due to the unique way in which the search engine here essentially is a useless randomiser, if you search for (the thread title) "iPhone Apps" this does not come up!!!

Ocarini by smule. Turns your iphone into a recorder/flute. You play by blowing into the mic while covering "holes" on the screen to get the different notes. Great fun!

Monopoly is good - you get to shake the phone to roll the dice (new rules though!)
Rolando is possibly the best game for the iPhone - very very good
Bejewelled 2 - addictive as hell game that is available for just about any format

Oh, and that GPS program for testing your car performance - dynolicious I think.

Me too!

Well worth getting - think it's only £1.19 at the mo.

Prepare to lose many hours of your life!

TV Plus (especially if you've got Sky)
Measures (converts units, inc currency)
Banner (great for sending messages to your mates at the bar!)
Lightsaber (say no more!)
Shazam (recognises music being played)
Flixster (lookup movies and watch trailers)
iMapMyRun (fitness stuff)

Games:
Asphalt 4 - You're on PH, so you obviously like cars.
Brain Challenge - This is actually rather good and quite addictive.
Texas Hold'em - Really well written and entertaining poker game. I had never played poker before I bought this app.

Utilities:
Facebook - Great free app if you use it to keep in touch with people you'd never speak to otherwise.
Speed - A free GPS speedo
Fring - Get your Skype, MSN, Yahoo! chat on your iPhone. Works over 3G and WiFi.
MobileFiles- If you have a .mac/MobileMe account.
Keynote Remote - If you're a Mac user and give presentations.
Things - An excellent To Do and task manager.
Shazam - Tells you the name, artist and album of that song you like. It's free and works really well.
Remote - Lets you control iTunes or Apple TV from anywhere on your WiFi network.

Other stuff:
Koi Pond - Get this if you have kids. It keeps them quiet for minutes.
Ocarina - This is a cool way to show off your new iPhone.

I agree with the above.

No one has mentioned the phonesaber yet - classic.

Also, ishoot lite is a great game, as is pacman and ipint for fun.

Bejewelled is highly addictive too

[anonymous-user]

By far the best game is Brothers in Arms (ww2 shooter) and the Carling virtual pint thing is cool in a useless sort of way

Ta guys.

Appreciate the responses.

That virtual Pool does look quite addictive

Wiki & Google could be quite useful.

And a PH one is a must if I can find it

I downloaded the remote desktop app today, "WinAdmin" sounds great in theory if I could only figure the damn thing out!!!

Better to use logmein, expensive but reliable and good !!!

These are all i have now:
- AirMe (take photos, and immediately upload them to sites like Flickr/Facebook)
- Last.fm (this is very good... you can use Last.fm over 3g too! and it works very well)
- AroundMe (uses gps to find things close by)
- Showtimes (uses gps to find local cinemas and give you listings)
- Twitterific
- Google Earth (very cool)

When you save a bookmark in safari you can save it to the homescreen so you've got a quick link
