If asked which iPhone apps are best, twenty people are likely to
give twenty different answers. There are thousands of iPhone apps
available and the apps a person prefers has a lot to do with individual
life style and personal interests. There are some applications that are
more popular than others and that have practical uses for most people.
While football fans may name NFL live as the best app, they use other
practical apps more often without considering how much easier these apps
make daily living.
Most
cell phones have a GPS app, but the iPhone has five to choose from. Map
Quest 4 is a free app and is functional for most users. The best of the
GPS apps is Tom Tom and it is the most expensive to download. Tom Tom
reports traffic delays and supplies alternate routes almost instantly.
It has a live search function that allows users to locate local
restaurants and other venues. This app automatically advises users of
local points of interest. For travelers, Tom Tom is absolutely worth the
cost.
For those who like to listen to music on their iPhones, Pandora and Midomi are great apps. Pandora supplies a stream of free new music to your phone so you don't have to listen to the same old songs on your iPod. Users start by choosing their favorite pieces and Pandora will note their preferences and create a customized radio station with new music chosen to suit an individual's taste. When a user wants to know the name of a song on the radio, he just has to hold the iPhone to a speaker and this app will identify the song and refer users to iTunes to buy it or show related videos from YouTube.
Although not everyone is a news buff, one app available only for iPhone is the NY Times Newspaper. The app allows users to find stories by section or to access the day's most popular stories. It is well designed and very user friendly. The Times is the most read newspaper in the world and many people like to refer to their stock reports, sports stories, book reviews or political commentary. This app is like a newspaper delivery boy without the reams of paper that comprise the average issue of the Times.
There are over 800 apps for the iPhone and some of them are great and some of them are fairly useless. The best apps for one user may not be good for another. The apps noted here are likely to be used by the greatest number of iPhone owners and, for the most part, are not yet available on most other cell phones.
