Right then... I promise this'll be my last iPhone-related post for a while. At least, it better be! (EDIT: Dammit, I couldn't help myself!!) The weather's been a bit miserable lately, so we haven't been out much... Anyway, I kept looking for the coolest apps around, and there're loads of "staff-picks", "top 10s" etc, but they all seem either biased, or out-of-date.
Here're my "top-picks", just to aid those of you who might care! They're not necessarily the "best" apps out there, or the most impressive, but they're the ones that are seeing by far the most use on my iPhone...
SketchBook by Autodesk - Really relaxing. Even better with a pogo stylus. Nice
Air Mouse/Remote - I'm a teacher. This is super-cool for controlling the iWhiteBoard/iTunes!
Stanza - A great eBook reader with a HUGE library, including Project Gutenberg...
Ocarina by Smule - A proper instrument on the iPhone! Even better since I play ocarina in real-life, too!
Guitar Toolkit - Simply the best reference/toolkit you could ever have. If you play guitar, just buy it!
Jamie Oliver - 20 minute meals - A super-professional quality app. And who doesn't ever cook?
WunderRadio - All the radio you could ever want. Great if your sick of your playlists! (as if...)
Sky+ - You can look at listings on your phone and record on your Sky+! Great if you forgot something!
TVGuide - BBC iPlayer is built in to the listings. A must have!
TVCatchup mobile - Live TV. Bookmark the web-page to home screen for most major channels!
My O2 - Super-useful to keep tabs on your bill!
Games (They deserve their own top 10 - In no order though, they're all great):
Real Racing by Firemint - This is easily the most polished racing game out there. It's great fun, too.
Fieldrunners - This is achingly-addictive. You just keep on playing! One of the only games I can say that for.
Doom Resurrection - Another highly-polished game, this FPS has some on-rails elements to improve flow.
SkySmash - A typical scrolling-shooter, but it's how you want them all to be. Great!
Sonic 1 - It's Sonic 1.
Rolando 2 - Check out any review, this one's brilliant. There's no getting away from Loco-Roco, though...
Fling - Another highly-addictive puzzle app.
Zen Bound - It should be crap... it's not though, it's really very addictive!
FS5 Hockey - Simple but awesome. Two people can even play on one iPhone! (or over bluetooth)
Worms - Hehehehe.
There are so many other great apps, too. More that deserve a mention are...
MGS Touch, Assassin's Creed, Monkey Ball, Tetris, BrainExercise, Touchgrind, Tiger Woods, Sky News, Quickoffice, eBay, Amazon UK, thetrainline, TubeMap, Facebook, Flickr, Skype, Flixster, wikiHow, SkyGazer, Yelp, iTaekwondo, iZenGarden, iBonsai, PocketGuitar, Bump, heyWAY Pro, Traffic Info, Trapster, Dynolicious, Shazam, Google Earth and finally... WC Finder (!)
