Favorite Apps for iPod touch, iPhone, iPad

mipennsn · 12-29-2010, 07:05 PM

Since there is a discussion going on right now about which to get and since some got some for Christmas. What are your favorite apps?

I have an iPhone 3GS. Mine are

Evernote - they advertise it as your external brain. I am starting to keep more and more in there. Right now I have knitting patterns, recipes, medication lists, packing lists in there. It is a free app and service unless you choose to go premium. Right now I am free user.

Olive Tree Bible Reader - they just updated to 5.0 and not all versions are updated to it yet in the App Store. This does cost a little bit, but then you can pretty much expect to pay for any version than KJV. I have found that it is cheaper to buy their Bibles through iTunes than their site. You can get all your Bibles into one app by creating an Olive Tree Account. You can also save your notes to Evernote.

Kindle for iphone - love, love, love It has a dictionary which I use a fair amount. You can find books for free and if you use Swagbucks you can get Amazon gift cards to get free books.

Stanza - I haven't used as much, but you can also you it for ebook reader, if you don't just want to get your books from Amazon.

iMDB - movie, TV database. I use it to look up actors and actresses when I am going "What show to I know that person from?"

Those are the practical ones I can think of off the top of my head. I could start another thread about games. I spend way too much time playing games.

Battery Magic tells me how much battery life I have left and how much time it will take to recharge. I use the heck out of that
FMC is a free menstrual calendar

Most of the rest of the apps i use regularly are games =)

My friend just helped me get one the other day called GeoQpons. You put in your zip code and it will pull up any deals at thousands of stores near you, and you just show the retailer your iPhone with the deal pulled up and they put in the code and give you your discount. I did it at Bath and Body Works the other day and got two free travel sized items and 20% off my purchase that I would not have gotten if my friend hadn't told me about the app.

Words with friends (Scrabble), a couple toddler games, Doodle jump, ummmm apparently I can't think of anything that is actually useful on there...

Lady TS · 12-30-2010, 07:22 AM
