iPhone apps S/D

ON IPHONE

oh god me too! (do)

Did anyone buy Monkey Ball yet? For me that is the iPhone killer app, not Safari or Mail or a portable telling phone.

Holy shit, i need this in my life

remote control is surprisingly great. Somehow much more satisfying than I imagined, and good that search is in there.

am i to understand that you can use your iphone to search your computer's itunes library, and then play/pause etc the songs on that computer?

i think i'd buy it for that alone!!

Yep, exactly.

It's like Salling Clicker did years ago, except it rocks.

the remote is simply awesome--same interface as the ipod function ON IPHONE

AIM i'm not too pleased with--what's the point if it's not persistent and logs you off everytime the phone goes to sleep? (ON IPHONE)

It's good when yr bored and in one place, though. The non-persistance isn't their fault, though, Apple won't let apps run in the background. Notifications will sort that, though.

though ON IPHONE though

Evernote for iPhone is incredible, I'm also enjoying Twitterrific and Remote, I'm somewhat intrigued by Whrrl and will likely end up buying OmniFocus.

I am so afraid of this thing now

When for iPod touch, damn it :(

BoxOffice is pretty cool -- automatically determines where you are, then gives you a list of all movies playing within a certain radius of you, their start times and Rotten Tomatoes ratings.

What about this google app? Which is meant to make search easier, but for some reason is only in the US app store, and not ours?? Anyone tried it? Should UKers be miffed?

I've bought monkey ball. tempted by that cute looking piano/guitar thing too. And midomi, if it works, could be amazing.

But I can't test any of these until dhl bring me my 3g in the morning.

Evernote was fucking useless for me, I deleted it. All my notes came up in 6pt, no way to zoom. New notes also unreadable.

BoxOffice doesn't work in the UK, and I really wish it did.

Have bought bejewelled. It's as addictive as ever.

the facebook app doesn't. have. the friggin' wall.

~FAIL~

Bloomberg for iPhone is shit hot. It would be better if it you could cram all of Bloomberg Terminal onto it.

Man, a lot of apps seem to be US only. Grr.

google app seemed lame for the minute I tried it for. MLB app is great, though.

Dunno, this looks pretty slick to me. Has to be quicker/easier than googling via safari. Definitely useful enough for me to be disappointed I can't get it.

yeah, that looks pretty much like a pocket version of inquisitor

stet, what is notifications? on iPhone tho, you know?

cutty, notifications are a fake form of background processes that allow the app to communicate with apple servers, which push the message to the phone blackberry style

…i think

but that doesn't start up until september

the frmware 2.0 is unlocked apparently (has been for a while) but the tools to do this on yr own phone aren't yet released; don't know if they work ON IPHONE 3G but they will work ON IPHONE 2G

NYT app still seems a bit lame - advertising, slow, and i still can't load anything other than main news/business (and this morning the dining and wine section had disappeared completely).

is there any app for offline web browsing?

safari 2.0 basically supports it, apart from a vital bit they really need to release.

Yeh, I've given up on NYT app, especially since AP mobile news caches everything perfectly for subway reading. Got that Bloomberg app too, and it's really impressive -- first of the news apps I saw that wouldn't be nearly as good as a webapp

facebook app, on a phone with a fully featured web browser? what am i missing?

It integrates with the camera. w00t

Scratch is even more disappointing than I thought it would be!

Am kind of in love with Whrrl and iPint. BofA, Google and Facebook are exactly what I expected (which is good).

guys, is anyone getting upside down photos in Flickr when uploaded from iphone?

Ooh, I'd missed BoA. Could be useful. Still disappointed with NYT. Presumably some of these GTD/todo ones are good, but I'll wait to see reviews.

btw Dan I now understand why you thought the cell-phone location psuedo-GPS was lame - in Chicago it was generally within a block, but in Cambridge it can't do better than getting the right city!

haha yes, v.v. frustrating

Trying to Whrrl my neighborhood in Somerville and getting Medford = uh thx for that but I wanted over here...

15-20 mins to sync - that would explain it, I guess. Could be good for offline browsing, though, but only if synced via wifi, I think.

okay that URL = awesome

so glad I a) did not get a new iPhone, and b) downloaded iTunes and the firmware upgrade last night

yeah, too right. would be more than a little annoying to have a bricked phone.

(actually i did go home in the middle of activating yesterday and was temporarily bricked, but sorted as soon as i got back online. could well take a lot longer for people today.)

Oh it IS annoying.

Oh yes. It is. Especially when I've got to go and get a train in about an hour, and will then be offline until Monday.

Last time I try to do new-apple-product-on-day-one, this.

This is why I never try to do ANY new techie product on day one; working in software has made me JADED.

I have happily used Scanner Pro for years.

Why would you need an app for that? I find the native Notes app to be more than adequate.

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210336

OCR, automatic file naming etc.

If you use it like once a month then notes is fine. If you’re trying to go fully paperless it is not up to the job.

Notes has OCR and file naming...?

yeah I have to keep copies of all the dumb paper documents I receive, because of French bureaucracy, so I need something robust for this

i just took a picture of the front page of a newspaper and it automatically named the file "telephone numbers".

I don't want to speak for everyone, I have both models of the newest iphones (and before that an ancient SE) and have never encountered a problem!

Just table some anecdotal input on the native app tally for me.

Dropbox does a good job at scanning.
