Must-have iPhone apps (update)

7

Posted on : 12-03-2009 | By : Japh

It’s been about six months since I got my iPhone, so I figure it’s time to revise the must-have app list. I’m not going to list all the apps I have installed, just the ones I’d recommend to a new iPhone owner (Luke, I’m looking at you. Congrats!)
The list is as follows (prices are as of 13th March, 2009):

  • Currency (free)
  • DomainScout (free)
  • eBay Mobile (free) (official app this time!)
  • FTP On The Go ($12.99 AUD, stricken from the list… poor value for money)
  • Google Earth (free)
  • Google Mobile App (free)
  • iSSH ($5.99 AUD)
  • Koi Pond ($1.19 AUD) (ok, this one’s not really a must-have… but it’s relaxing)
  • Live Poker (free)
  • Midomi (free)
  • Ocarina ($1.19 AUD) (by Smule, they do really nicely made apps)
  • OzWeather ($2.49 AUD) (better for us Aussies than the Yahoo one, comes from BoM)
  • reMovem ($4.99 AUD) (I mainly bought this one for my wife…)
  • SnapTell (free) (like Midomi, but for books and DVD covers, etc.)
  • Tweetie ($3.99 AUD) (yes, Twitter is all the rage right now, so get this and follow @japh.)
  • Units (free)
  • Wikipanion (free)
  • WordPress (free)
  • Zenbe Lists ($3.99 AUD) (You’ll need to create an account at http://lists.zenbe.com/)
  • Zen Bound ($5.99 AUD) (an AMAZING game!)

So that’s the update in alphabetical order, if you know of any other must-haves, let me know!

Thanks Japh! I’m going to have fun spending my $50 app-store voucher tonight. Much appreciated.

Tweetie and Zenbe Lists aren’t free.

I like my SolFree and my 4 year old love Bubbles LOL! I’ve also got wurdle and Tris to play and Shopper for my grocery lists.

Congrats Luke ;)

Zenbe Lists isn’t free?? It used to be! I’ll update that…

Also, I didn’t say Tweetie was free did I? A number of apps in the list aren’t free, but they’re all worth the $, I reckon :)

You made the effort to point out that iSSH free so I thought you were implying that the remainder were free. It’s cool though, I have installed quite a few from this list.

Ah, yes… good point! I might see if I can put current AUD beside the apps. Would be interesting to see at a later point too, if prices change :)

Nice blog…

Zenbe lists is a great app (not free, but worth it). It’s cool because it syncs with the non-mobile web app. I use it to keep track of blog post ideas when they strike. I can add to the list when I’m at my computer, or when I’m out on the road.
