Don't Like my Writing? Tell Me About It.

So, I got an iPhone for Christmas this year, and I had to post some of my favorite apps just like everyone else.  Some of them are free, some of them cost a few bucks.  If you’ve got one or two you like, let me know so I can check them out.  I’m a app junkie.

1.       Premium Pageonce

Ok, I was going to cut and paste from their website the description, but that doesn’t say much.  I like this program, I even paid $9.99 for it, because I can with one push, see all of my accounts.  This includes my credit cards, bank accounts, airline miles accounts, retirement accounts, email accounts, everything.  It’s secure and there’s a web browser version for when you’re on your desktop/laptop.  I’ve not had any problems with it what-so-ever.  I use this program more than any others on my iPhone.

2.       Steady Cam

     I moved my original camera button and put Steadycam in it’s place.  Every single photo I took before steady cam was blurry.  This program allows you to hit the shutter button and then it doesn’t take the picture until the iPhone is still. It definitely makes a difference in the quality of the shots I’ve gotten. There is a free and .99 version.  I just went with the free.

3.       Flixster

Another free app, this one shows you what movies are playing at your local theater, or wherever you choose.  It gives you movie times, trailers to watch on your iPhone, ratings and descriptions.  You can also see listings of newly released DVDs as well as upcoming movies at both theaters and on DVD.  This makes it a whole lot easier than scanning through all the DVDs standing around at Blockbuster.

4.       Tip Master

A $.99 cent app, but I think it’s worth it.  (This could be due to the fact that I’m really bad about remembering tip rates).  This is a simple program that helps you figure the tip on a check.  But not just for restaurants.  It has 20 different scenarios including things like hairdressers.  It also takes into account how the service you received was, number in party etc. 

5.       Snap Tell

Ok, it may be that I like playing with this app is why I’m listing it.  With this program, you can snap a picture of a book cover, dvd, cd or video game and it will search the web for info on it.  This includes videos, prices etc.  It could be handy when looking for the best deal or trying to get the price down on an item when you’re shopping at a store that matches prices.

6.       What’s On TV?

With this app, a free one by the way, you can choose your cable network and it will list out all of your channels and what’s on.  Kind of like TV Guide, but cooler of course.  You can pick your favorites and be reminded when they are on.  You can search for upcoming episodes as well. Yeah, I use it to tell me when Stargate is coming on…I’m a geek.

7.       Voxie

I can’t even begin to list everything this program has in regards to voice recording.  Instead of buying a digital recorder for my college lectures this semester, I’m using this on my iPhone.  You can sync it to your pc via Wi-fi.  Not a bad option at $1.99. There is no restriction on file size except the room on your iPhone. 

8.       Lose It

Just about everyone I know is always trying to lose weight, eat better etc.  This free app is kind of nice.  It keeps track of what you’ve eaten with a pretty nice database.  You can also add foods to it.  You can also keep track of your exercise, nutrients and weight over time.  Like I said, it’s free.

9.       Word Press

If you like to use Word Press for your blog, this free app is a must.  You can post directly from your iPhone.  You can even setup multiple blogs in this app. Supports photos as well.  It also saves your work as a draft should it get interrupted by a phone call.

10.   Midomi

 Yeah, I’ve played with this one way too much as well.  You know that song that’s on the tip of your tongue and you just can’t remember the name of it.  You can hum, sing, type in the lyrics and this program will search out the name, artist, videos all kinds of information on what you’ve input.  It’s pretty good too, my kids have sung into it, I’ve hummed into it, it’s fun
