What are the most useful or fun free iphone apps to have?

What apps are worth buying?

What are the best games and are there any good music making apps?

Thanks.

flick football gets my vote, i play that the most.. infact it's the only thing i use my iphone for apart from internet, music and email (as well as being a phone)

[Basstronomer]

Max injury and Paper Toss are my favs.

PAPERTOSS WAS BRILLIANT UNTILL THEY INTRODUCED ALL THE ADVERTS, THAT'S WHY I STARTED PLAYING FLICK FOOTBALL.. PLUS IT'S 1000000X BETTER

SNEEZIES

rinse fm
tube map
evernote - you can make various types of notes and syncs with your computer if you want
you can get various VNC apps that allow you to control your computer remotely via your iphone
ted mobile has lots of interesting videos to watch
if you travel a lot then the trainline has an app and theres one called train search thats good too
someone posted one called mood pad in a previous thread that's good for a fiddle (ooh err). it basically imitates a heat detector so you can touch the screen and make patterns as if it's detected the heat of your fingers

games wise:
angry birds is amazing. the creators have just released a new one called cut the rope as well but not tried that yet
ragdoll blaster (1 and 2)
topple (1 and 2)
chicks (basically lemmings)
toki tori (good platformer)

I use these on blackberry but they have iphone versions

http://www.neoreader.com - Barcode scanner
http://www.palringo.com - All IM apps in one, kind of like Trillian or Pidgin but for mobile.
http://www.tawkon.com - monitors your phone radiation levels and will warn you once it becomes unsafe to hold to your head
http://www.calleridfaker.com - loads of fun, seriously get it. It can even change your voice and it sounds decent.

Oh and http://www.vlingo.com - This is a great voice to text app and it understand lots of voice commands too.

They had a sale on the games apps recently, loads of em went down to 59p each.

Useful Apps

Remote - syncs up to itunes through the wireless so you can remotely access your
playlists.

0870 - Saynoto0870 app. type in your 0845 numbers etc. and it automatically redirects
calls to the landline numbers so you're not getting raped with call charges.

Tube Delux - London tube travel planner/Update on tube closures.

RAC traffic - for traffic updates.

Ebay

3D brain - Useful for when I'm going through my Psychology notes.

BBC Radio - You can access all the BBC radio stations through a 3g stream

It's not free but i bet it is sick: http://filtatron.moogmusic.com/

Looks fantastic. Can samples be saved, transfered and imported into daws I wonder?

I was also looking at beat maker, again not free but looks great. Anyone had experience with this?







Some great suggestions here, thanks all, please keep them coming.

Sneezies was standard Badger, been waiting to play that game since came to your house. Girlfriend is addicted too now.

Vlingo the voice to text app will come in handy and Saynoto0870 could be useful. Maps and transport apps are great too, I wonder if there is a free satnav apps for when on foot.

A couple of noob questions:

Why are you sometimes asked to confirm credit card details for apps that are supposed to free.

When using wifi are there any hidden roaming charges?

When you 'close' an internet page using the button at the bottom the page disappears but when you open the page again the content opens exactly as it was when it was closed. Does this mean the page is still connected to the internet while temporarily closed and therefor is it still charging you for browsing?

use wifi at all costs and predownload your apps on your computer if you are worried about usage

a) you're not connecting to itunes/app store correctly.

b) no - you're using your wifi and not your 3g.

c) It's saved to the cache on safari so when you close the app, it still saves the web page,
so next time you open safari, it goes straight there.
If you want to get rid of the page you have to hit the double window icon and close it
manually.
