Cool iPhone Apps (Part 1)
We all love our iPhones, and smartphones in general. For me the most startling thing about joining the iPhone generation was the cool apps.
Even the apps that were just versions of their websites were easier to use and more focused, allowing access to the information you wanted much quicker.
So we thought we would highlight some of the cool apps that we have used and liked, it’s not an exhaustive list by any means but it’s a good start.
Let us know what you think in the comments at the bottom. Can you recommend your favourites?
Cool Apps: Facebook
Access to your facebook account and all of it’s features direct from you iPhone. Includes push notifications when you are signed in.
Cool Apps: Convert Units
Convert units allows you to convert anything to anything. Angles, area, data, energy, force, length, mass, power, pressure, speed, temperature, time, volume measurements are all included. You may not need it everyday but at some point it will be a lifesaver. Also, it’s free.
Cool Apps: Peppermint
This app will be a godsend for anyone involved in design. It’s basically a color wheel but with lots of features. Also free.
Cool Apps: Instapaper
A well known app that allows you to save clippings, articles etc for reading later when you have time. Can be very useful for those who like to be organised.
Cool Apps: TV Guide
A quick, easy and free way to find out what’s on the TV (or the goggle box as it’s more aptly known in our house). As with many apps it is much more focused that it’s website big brother.
Cool Apps: TimeOut
If you live in a major city and want to know what’s going on then this app will serve you well.
Cool Apps: Ebay
Ebay access from your phone, as with many apps it is quicker and easier than it’s equivalent website.
Continued…. Some Cool iPhone Apps (Part 2)
Awesome list! I love the twitter and FB apps when travelling, such a great way to keep in touch. Of course, the flight tracking and translation apps are a huge practical help as well, but I’ve always found I have downtime when I travel…either at the airport or a train station, even trying to unwind in the hotel after a long day of sightseeing. For this I use my favorite app, the TV Everywhere app from DISH Network. As a customer and employee I love this thing, it allows me to watch anything I want off my home receiver as long as I can get a 3G connection.
