the best apps for ipod touch / iphone

[jokerpaulonline]

Started this a little in another post, but thought it would be a good idea if everyone who reads this, to list there top 2 apps that they have got, to share with everyone. It dont matter if someone has already put the 1 you were going to say as that just confirms that its a good app.

I will start it off with the remote for itunes as I think you cant beat a wifi remote and air hockey as it a good game.

so come on everyone dont keep them to yourself, share with other members ;-)

I'm addicted to Angry Birds at the moment - best 59p i've ever spent on the App Store!

 

[John Duncan]

I'm Scottish, so have the free Angry Birds Lite. And Paper Toss.

 

[Frank Harvey]

Glow Hockey 2

 

[John Duncan]

Except I couldn't resist and paid the 59p...

 

[Sorreltiger]

iCar Radio lite - free app for streaming radio, including all the BBC stations. It's much better than a flaky portable DAB radio.

My top two in different genres....

Games: Angry Birds & Harbour Master (ties with Drop7)
Navigation: CoPilot & MotionX GPS (stunning for the price)
Tools: Speed Test & Skype
General: eBay & Facebook
Music: TuneIn Radio (fantastic and should be standard)

Special commendations for IMDb (as it's quicker than the Web) and Sleep Cycle (innovative).

Anyone know of a good weather app?

Shazam

I tried to find the bbc iplayer but could not find it.

Typed in search, bbc iplayer and iplayer but nothing came up

 

[Clare Newsome]

If you get online to BBC iPlayer via your iPhone/iPod Touch browser, you can bookmark it - you instantly get an iPlayer icon and subsequent one-click access to the service.

Hopefully getting my new iPhone today, so will be downloading a couple of these. Can't wait.

 

[Clare Newsome]

Really? They told me they were coming on Monday

what level you got up to on angry birds, I stuck on the second level at 11

 

[Clare Newsome]

I've finished the lot - all levels; both games. Now going back to try and improve my scores/star ratings. My 13-year-old nephew was very helpful with some tips over the weekend - he's got the whole family on it, including his Grandad (my Dad!)

Same here

Coincidence I'm getting a new phone on Monday.

It's a HTC desire. It'll be interesting to see how good the hi resolution OLED screen will be with films and how well this will compare to my itouch. I'm pretty convinced that music will sound better through Apples device, but I'm expecting the desire to put up a good fight when it comes to movies on the go

ColorSplash - Nice little app for making pics black and white with certain parts in colour.
Friendz - For all those Xbox 360 fans.
RedLaser - Scan barcodes for items and it finds cheapest prices on the web, clever little app.
thetrainline - Find train journeys, or next train home from current location

Skype - Skype (need I say more)
Facebook - if you like that kind of thing ;-)
