Having just got an iPhone thought it would be a good idea for SN to share some of the best apps.

Intersted as to why BBC dont do them (or not that I can find) when I know they do for a Blackberry.

The best apps I've got i.e. the ones I've downloaded and still use daily are

Facebook
E-Bay
IM+ (Instant messenger app for MSN etc with push notifications)
mSecure (secure password storage)
Sky News
WeatherPro (Way better than the built-in weather app)
My O2
Lottery View (check your numbers anywhere)
iFooty
LogMeIn Ignition (remote control to home pc)

I have a few games etc but the list above are apps I use all the time.

JackClark

Motion X GPS, killer navigation app for anything outdoors.
For TV the usual iPlayer site works a treat or go to TVCatchup iPhone and add to the home screen.

As I work in London...

Tube Deluxe - brilliant Tube and Travel app
Facebook - good but no poking, now has push notifications
Sky News
Amazon
Local Picks from Trip Advisor - finds top 50 restuarants with reviews based on where you are
MoBank - online bank balances using a PIN code
Orange Wednesdays
Sky + - set your PVR from wherever you are in the world - and it works!
Pzizz relax - great app to do a therapeutic hypno sleep for 20 mins - very refreshing
Dynolicious - if you are tuning your Scoob
Ikea - keeps the wife happy - online Ikea catalogue
Ben10 Mouth Off - keeps my son happy
LinkedIn
Tetris
DoodleJump

...until the battery goes flat Is there a way to make it turn off the screen to save battery life? I can still see myself having to cart around a separate, dedicated GPS unit if I'm out for more than a couple of hours.

I'd recommend:

RedLaser - scan barcodes of stuff in shops, find out what you could get it for online. Great for DVDs and electricals.
Flixster - see what movies are on, where and when, view trailers & revies
RadioBOX - streaming Internet radio
Labyrinth 2 - beautifully presented version of the classic game

Click the power button on top of the phone, turns off the screen, I have at least one five hour track that left enough power for a couple of phone calls for a retrieve.

taylormade89

just got mine today? took me ages to work out how to get the sim in
where do you get the apps from? itunes?

The_Beast

iTunes or the App Store on the phone.

taylormade89

thanks how much are they? i was told not too use the internet on my phone untill my new tariff starts at the end of the month

The_Beast

They are priced individually. I am on contract so I have unlimited browse in my tariff so I download off my phone and the large apps off iTunes. If you go into the iTunes store you can browse all apps as there is a section for it.

Markus

Prices vary from Free up to about £80, which is what some of the SatNav apps such as TomTom cost.

If you are worried about the tariff side of things then use iTunes to download the apps on your PC and then simply sync them over to your phone.

That is ridiculous - I thought reading the Guardian automatically generated a life ban on Scoobynet

taylormade89

i get free web when i got onto my new tariff but thats not till 30th of this month

Neanderthal

iTrader: (6)

If you're at home and have a wifi internet network setup, you can browse via that rather than over your data connection till your new tarrif starts.
An iPhone without some sort of data connection is rubbish

surprised nobody has pocket dyno, measure G's , 0-60 times estimated horsepower reaction times etc, uses the accelerometer in the phone, £7.49 for the full version but they do a lite version for free.

remember kids street racing is illegal and dangerous

JackClark

BMW do a Dyno app. Better looking than the other free apps.

Great, keep 'em coming. I'm a recent icock graduate (before people start), and on the lookout for 'usefuk' apps.
