My Favorite iPhone Apps

Author: Tim | Posted: 12. October 2009 06:23 1

When I fist bought my iPhone, I was thrilled to run into other iPhone owners who could tell me what their favorite apps were so that I could be sure to get the most out of my new phone. I have owned an iPhone for about 2 months now, and I finally feel like I have seen most of the really cool apps out there. Maybe you are one of those new iPhone/iTouch users, or perhaps you just don't like to spend time on the app store. Allow me to suggest to you some of my favorite apps:

  • Ping! - a clone of the messages app that lets you send free SMS to other iPhone/iTouch users. This app was a little rough around the edges at first, but they recently updated it to fix most of it's issues. The best part about this app is that it also works over WiFi so you don't have to even be in cell signal!
  • Mint.com (FREE) - an expansion of the free mint.com financial service that gives you complete awareness of your financial situation at all times. It even lets you tap into multiple banks, accounts, etc.
  • PocketBible (FREE) - by far the best Bible app out there for iPhone. It lets you combine dictionaries, language tools, Bible reading plans, etc. all in one app. The navigation is a bit awkward, but if you can get used to it, it's a powerful study tool.
  • The Conflict - a friend of mine made this app which brings EGW's Conflict of the Ages series to iPhone. It allows for highlighting, searching, bookmarks, etc.
  • Documents 2 - an excel spreadsheet creator/editor that syncs easily with your google docs (gmail) account. It's much cheaper than the other office apps out there, and it does what I need it to.
  • gFlashPro - a flash card study tool that works off of excel documents, and also integrates well with your google docs account. I particularly find it handy to use this app in combination with the Documents 2.
  • Files - this app lets you turn your iPhone into a WiFi jump drive. Especially if you own a mac, it's super easy to copy files to and from your iPhone over WiFi. It even gives you the ability to view your documents (movies, pictures, PDFs, Word Documents, etc.) from your iPhone. I especially find the built-in PDF viewer to be worth the price they're asking.
  • PresenterPro - a quick reference tool that gives you quick tips and guidelines to help you create and refine any kind of presentation (a lecture, sermon, etc.) to become an effective presenter.
  • StoreItPro - this app is by far the most customizable mobile storage solution. It basically lets you create your own local database to store any kind of data in. Complete with customizable data structures, it will save you money in the long run.
  • Bump (FREE) - a quick and easy way to exchange contact information with other iPhone/iTouch users.
  • Vonage (FREE) - under the name of "cheap long distance" this app lets you place free local calls anywhere in the USA! There's a slight change that they may charge your vonage account $0.35/month, but even if that's true, it's so cheap it's practically free. It works over WiFi as well so if you have AT&T cell coverage problems (like I do), or if you just have an iTouch, this app is VERY handy, as it even syncs your VOIP Vonage account with your actual caller ID!
