iPhone Apps Store - Make Your Life Easy With Apps


Obviously the biggest iPhone apps store is at Apple web site. By going to the Apple web site and clicking on the link for Apps for iPhone you get some tabs that categorize the types of apps you can get for your iPhone. Today's screen shows Apps for Cooks, Apps for Music, Apps for the Outdoors and Apps for Keeping Current. You can search for apps to do whatever you want on your iPhone.
Under Apps for Cooks there are twelve featured Apps and the first one is about cheese. Fromage is an app that has over three hundred eighty varieties of cheese where you can search by name, region, texture or milk type to find what you want. If you would like to know what kind of wine goes with the cheese of your choice that is available as well. The App for fish comes from the Monterrey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch Program to see if the fish you are considering is over fished or part of a sustainable population.
If you like to eat fresh vegetables, grains and fruits there is an app for you. Locavore finds local farm markets and will tell you what local people are eating by typing in a zip code or using the GPS function. If you are cooking and doing other things around your house and you do not want to miss your timer the Apple store has a timer app that you can set so that you can get your cookies or cake out of the oven before it burns.
If you are an adventurous cook and like to try new recipes you need to get the Epi app that lets you access the Whole Foods Market Recipes, Big Oven or Allrecipes.com Dinner Spinner. With over twenty five thousand recipes you definitely have a lot of variety to choose from. If wine is more your thing you can go to Wine PhD to access wine ratings, pairings and even winemaker notes. There are even articles on trends, hot winemakers, popular regions and best buys in wines from around the world.
If your tastes run to the grill and barbecue sauce is available in gallon jugs at your house you need to get the Weber's On the Grill. There are over two hundred fifty classic grilling recipes and forty recipes for rubs. There are instructional videos and tips from celebrity chefs along with a function that allows you to create a grocery list for the recipe of your choice.
For those of you who like more general functional apps Grocery IQ is excellent. With a database of over 130,000 items and a predictive search function you can start typing your list and Grocery IQ fills it out for you. You can even email the list for your personal shopper (or spouse) to pick up for you at the store.
While there are a number of app makers out there trying to get there apps on the Apple site some companies are trying to compete by creating their own app sites with mixed success. A good way to make sure that you are not paying for something you can get for free is to go to an app review site.
