Apps for the iPhone

[Benny]

I know there's a thread for the iPad, but there are so many for the iPhone that don't really apply to the iPad.

There are a list of mine that have come in handy on more than one occasion (no particular order).

Helpful stuff:

Find my iPhone
5-0 radio
iHandy level
BatteryLife
Unit Converter
The Weather Channel
Flashlight (iHandy inc has a compass on it)
PDF Expert
Scout
GunFreeZone (I haven't used it yet, it's too new)
ebay
GasBuddy
RedLaser
QRReader
Craigslist
Knots 3D
Chrome

Entertainment:

Ringtone Designer
FatFaced
Panorama
Dead Yourself
ESPN Score Center
The Score
Shazam
Pandora
IMDb
Netflix
BuddyTV
Facebook
Zombie Lane

I just downloaded intellicast, splashtop, tonido, and Commander Compass from the recommendations in the other thread, but I'm looking for anything else I "must" have.

 

[rockhopper46038]

Well, the one app I see missing that is an absolute "must have" is "The Constitution of the United States w/Audio".

Others I find particularly useful:

Convertbot
Great Books
Stopwatch1
Metro (subway maps)
Urbanspoon
Kayak
Shot timer
Sun King Finder

Facefighter is kind of fun.

I also have IMDB, the Stanley level app, find iPhone and Gun Free Zone.

I have a bunch of other crap like bank apps, news, and stuff that are more for my personal requirements than for other reasons

 

[Indy317]

I have:

iDo Notepad (free version, a little better than the generic notes app)
Convert Free
Scan and Bakodo bar code readers
Night Sky
MeteorGuide
Planets
Police Scanner+
5-0 Radio Free
SHOUTcast
WTHR
WRTV
WISH-TV
A Drudge report app
BBC News
Al Jazeera
PBS Newshour
RT (Russia Today) News
RT OnAir
thinkorswim
Gold Live!+
Commodity
Coinflation

I don't have an eye phone.......

 

[ZbornacSVT]

I find myself using Hungry Shark Evolution a lot lately.....before that was Infinity Blade 2.....before that was Temple Run 2......before that was Great Little War Game.....before that Modern Conflict.....before that Paper Toss 2......you get the idea.

I do keep going back to Rope'n'Fly, Landgrabbers, Frontline Commando, Bowmaster, Tower Madness, and Zombie Highway with a good amount of frequency.

Most of these are on the Ipad.....but same difference.

I'll have to check out some of those games. I need something else to pass the time when I run out of energy on Zombie Lane.

Guess ill have to check out some of these apps, one of my favorite apps I have is tapatalk, another decent app is ballistics.

I've got way too many to list. I'm also jailbroken and that's where the most useful tweaks come from. My favorite is My3G which allows Facetime without wifi. Use it all the time when calling home from work.

If you're not utilizing an iPhone jailbreak, you're not utilizing an iPhone IMO.

I am a moderator on iPhoneforums.net and I can tell you the battery apps do not do anything for your phone. It has been tested by us on the staff many times and they simply do not work.

Instead, do what Apple recommends and do a deep cycle charge.

Charge your phone to 100% and then let it die until it shuts off. Charge it again until 100% and let it die again. Charge it one more time to 100% and that will complete the cycle. This helps set the measure algorithm for the battery life meter and gives the battery a little conditioning. This only needs to be performed once every two months for an average user or once a month for a person who can't put the phone down.

Hope this helps.

Give me a list of things I can't get without a JB and I will consider it. There are just so many free apps from the app store I haven't even bothered with it.

I do this at least once a month. Good to know I'm not wasting my time.

Edit: Should I disconnect immediately after it reaches 100% or does it matter?

 

[Hoosier8]

Some awesome fitness apps.

Map my Run
Map my Ride
Map my Hike

iPhones have crap battery life. Most everyone I know is looking to plug in around 2 pm.

Best thing I have ever bought is the mophie juice pack air. It only works for the 4 or 4S. With it my phone lasts all day. Got it through Groupon for about $50.

I have the i5 and charge it once a day. I time it to where I can unplug it right before I go to bed.

I am on it constantly...I have the screen brightness at roughly 33%, unless I'm out in the sun and I'll turn it to 100% (then it obviously drains faster).

From last year but you'll get an idea of what's out there.

You can let it stay plugged in as long as you like.

 

[Benny]

You are 100% sure about this?

I've heard it can burn up the battery for letting it stay plugged in too long.

If you answer is yes, what about car chargers?

 

[Benny]

Tonido is the greatest app ever.

I wasn't home this weekend and it came in handy thrice.

Px4me, I'm watching that video now...Let's see what I'm missing out on.

 

[Benny]

OK, after doing some research, I'd definitely like to jailbreak my iphone, but where do I download the apps? I've been looking at the top apps for jailbroken iphones, but I don't see where do download.

I'd like to make sure I can get them before I JB.

Thanks

After you complete the JB you will have a new app icon on your springboard, Cydia. This is the JB app store. Everything you want will be available there.
