The iPhone Apps I have on my phone right now.

The Apple app store has been out long enough now that the newness of downloading and trying every single app wore off a long time ago. I do continually try new stuff, but I’ve set myself a hard and fast rule, if I don’t use the app at least once a week, or if it doesn’t have a ‘it’ll save me in a pinch’ functionality that I need, I uninstall it (eventually).

That said, this is my current list of Apps in order of usage amount:

  • Tweetie – Twitter client extraordinaire
  • FreeMemory – one of the most useful apps to help you use other apps by freeing up memory
  • Toodledo – Need to keep track of what to do
  • Facebook – cause everyone is on it and accepting invites is faster than having to go to my PC
  • Truphone – cheap calls with and without wifi
  • Skype – cheap calls on wifi
  • Faces – Quick Dial with pics and lots of other features
  • Gorgy Timing Atomic Clock – what can I say, I like precision
  • Planets – to see the sun rise and set times for when I’m planning a bike ride
  • Weatherbug – to see if the above ride is going to get rained on
  • SearchDial – a far better and faster search tool for you address book than Apple’s (until 3.0 at least)
  • Tumblr – to update www.faston2wheels.com
  • ebay – to sell my old gadgets
  • Remote – to control my Apple TV
  • ShopShop – so I don’t have the deer in the headlights look in the supermarket when I go
  • Urbanspoon – to find restaurantes near where I am when I get hungry
  • Currency – to check currency rates and depression (mine) rates
  • Bloomberg – to see what crappy state the economy is in today
  • Magic8Ball – to make market decisions after I check economy on Bloomberg
  • Vault – to keep info I frequently forget
  • Backgrounds – to keep the wallpaper ‘fresh’
  • EmailContact – to send people Vcards
  • Warfare Inc – RTS game
  • Firepin – to drop GPS breadcrumbs
  • AllRecipies – for when I get inspired to cook
  • Ultralingua German Dictionary – for when I need to look up something in German and to remind me to rebook German classes
  • Picoli – Photoshop on the iPhone so to speak.. picture enhancement, but I’ve found it less useful lately since the photo quality of the camera is not worth editing
  • TouchTerm – for when I need to use SSH
  • TrainZones – to remind myself of my heart rate zones, although at this point, I think I’m going to delete it since I have them memorized

  1. You know, I have to tell you, I really enjoy this blog and the insight from everyone who participates. I find it to be refreshing and very informative. I wish there were more blogs like it. Anyway, I felt it was about time I posted, I’ve spent most of my time here just lurking and reading, but today for some reason I just felt compelled to say this.

  2. The Apple rumor mill is once again running overtime on the topic of netbooks. If you believe the reports, Steve Jobs is himself leading the charge. My take: Whatever Apple does, it won’t be a netbook in the usual sense, I also bet that Apple, if it does anything, will itself avoid using the n-word to describe it.
