iPhone apps S/D

all yr apps

my iphone is seriously bugging since the 3.1 firmware...

Anyone tried boxcar? it's a push thingy for facebook, twitter and email.

I don't understand why the big recent update to the facebook app didn't incorporate push notifications, it really needs them.

So to recap, I just got an iPhone. What apps should I get?

I phoned up the cellphone company and they are waving my bill! HURRAH! Well, they'll deduct the invoices of the MASSIVE amount I paid. They did block internet on 3G. Don't give a fucking shit if they did cause I'm not keen to pay four digit bills. I didn't realize they count every connection as 5 minutes regardless of how long you are online and that they charge extra on large amounts transferred. Belgium is renowned for dodgy cellphone companies. :-(

ronan, get instapaper, facebook, remote (if you also have a mac), netnewswire (if you're into RSS), and twitterific (if u have twitter). I like toy camera too. it "lomo-fies" pictures on the iphone, e.g.

the best games are space invaders infinity gene, edge, eliss, evacuation, grunts, knights onrush, let's golf, must.eat.birds, and toki tori

I wouldn't buy anything over 59p/99p as there are frequent sales on the app store but ymmv

i like echofon for twitter

Has anyone tried Photogene? My dad said it was fantastic, but I doubt his views on such things. :-)

I've been using and loving Polarize (polaroid effect on pictures)

The Russell Grant Horoscope App will consist of a free download consisting of a Free Daily Horoscope reading, an exclusive Free Palm Reader function and a Free Astro Dice reading. The full App content can be purchased by subscription for 59p per month using the new subscription based payment model.

oooh loving the camera apps!

Toronto-area people can get a fairly reliable TTC (transit) app in the form of Red Rocket.

I don’t have many other apps to recommend but I love playing Freecell & Euchre. I'm so cool. I also made ILX look like it has an app, by choosing "Add to Home Screen" in the browser.

And the michael barrymore heart monitor xpost

ronan the fb app is supposed to get push in v3.1.

ILX does have an app tho

I'm addicted to Worms. Other than that just get apps for web pages you might use regularly - Flickr, Facebook, Twitter(ific) etc etc.

woah never actually searched for ILX app - thank you gbx!

where is the ILX app?

Oh Lord! An ILX APP?

ON IPHONE?

i would like to download ILX on iPHONE why because it look intersting

ILXphone isn't out yet, right?

I'm not Ronan.

ilx app is
stilll with apple, sitting and waiting, stet said the other day.

i am addicted to drop7

can't believe there's an app called red rocket

im also addicted to drop7 but i am fucking awful at it

i am SO FUCKING ADDICTED to drop7

dudes do u play on hardcore mode? only way to play imo

i have the free version and also im very very bad at it

hardcore mode otm. tried the rest, now i only play the best

thanks for the drop7 recommendation. love it.

(ON IPHONE)

You guys hit GrooveMaker yet? Even the free version is fucking choice.

dropbox and evernote apps are making a lot of sense to me now

so what's the consensus best to-do app right now? I see that Things gets some love upthread, any other contenders?

Long time Remember the Milk user. You have to be a subscriber to the website though, which I think is 10 a year. Worth it, for me.

Things sorta rules my world

so what's the consensus best to-do app right now? I see that Things gets some love upthread, any other contenders?

I switched from RTM to Google Tasks. I prefer the latter.

Still rep for OmniFocus.

I have joined your ranks. Google maps thinks I live about 20 mins' walk from where I actually am. Any map app recommendations?

I pulled the trigger on Things; let's see if I'm mature enough to handle it or is it gonna be $10 down the pipe

xp do you live in a city? GPS isn't as accurate in urban settings cause the signals bounce around off the skyscrapers

Anyone have any leads on an alarm clock that doesn't have a gigantic snooze button? I need something that will make me, I don't know, do a few math questions before I can turn the alarm off. I am a repeated hit-snooze offendor.

^^^^snoozed for 4 hours last week (I work late evenings, don't you judge me)

Twice this week I snoozed for an hour straight, and my alarm goes off at the latest possible time that I *must* get up to get to work on time! :P Searches for 'alarm' and 'wake up' in app store brought a bunch of alarm apps that brag about their "whole-screen snooze button." That's not what I need!

xp dyao, yes, I live in DC - no skyscrapers to speak of but probably enough buildings to bounce off unhelpfully.

things, probably like most productivity apps, makes most sense if you just give in to it its constraints and what its forcing you to do. i like it cause its good for day to day, short term stuff.

netnewswire (if you're into RSS)

Hmm: I see the update for this has finally appeared. I gave up on it some time ago in favour of Byline, and it's going to have to be all kinds of awesome to make me go back. I could put up with its occasional crash-happiness and sluggishness 18 months ago when I didn't really have any alternative, but Byline -- which isn't perfect by any means -- totally eclipses it.

However. I'll give the update a go and see how I get on.

big JG likes it: http://daringfireball.net/linked/2009/09/24/nnw-iphone

how about you just don't hit the snooze button and wake the fuck up

shit, I never thought of that. thanks cutty!

oops there isn't an app for that

Think that JG love is more about him being pals with Brent S (NNW maker) than it actually being any cop. Guy made NNW, everybody loved him, he was bought out by Newsgator and I guess he descended into corporate lunacy, because all his software got crappy and he stopped updating. Guessing JG is trying to give him a break.

Latest reviews of NNW on the store are awful, too. Sticking w/byline.
