Top 5 iPhone Apps


Owing to a lot of my friends recently acquiring shiny new iPhones I thought I'd share my opinion on some must have apps based on my time with the app store.



Top 5

1. Twinkle - Simple and attractive Twitter client, which not only allows you to tweet your location and photos but also to see tweets from people nearby who you may not be following! Really fun for killing time on bus journeys.

2. Pennies - Another simple app but this one keeps track of your spending habits, allowing you to clearly see what you're spending your cash on and how much of your monthly budget you have remaining. Surprisingly fun if you get into the habit of using it.

3. Remote - This app from Apple allows you to fully control any associated iTunes on the same wifi network as your iPhone. Really nice UI, simple to use, and surprisingly useful for the lazy people of the world who lost their tiny Apple remotes years ago.

4. Tap Tap Revenge - Fun little game in the same vain as Guitar Hero or more aptly, Frequency on the PS2. The coolest features of this app, other than it's price point (free), is it's two player mode and the range of free music tracks you can download and play along to.

5. CroMag Rally - This racing game makes this list as it's stupidly cheap on the App store atm, and it has really nice controls and a clear presentation. It's a fun little time killer and worth the price.

Notable mentions: If you want to load up your new phone with even more awesomeness try Simplify Media (for those whose music collection is far larger than their iPhones storage capacity, Wikipanion, Facebook App, Stanza, Sudoku, Shakespeare and aSleep.

Enjoy ^_^
