Best of 2009 – Top 5 iPhone Apps

Best of 2009 round 1:  Albums. Round 2: iPhone Apps. I’ve had an iPhone for about 4 months. It really has been a handy productivity tool, and it also makes phone calls! The following are Applications that I use most days.

  1. Trip View Lite super smart and super useful train (and bus + ferry) timetable. The paid version enables you to save your favourite trips. Triperrific.
  2. Dictionary.com the best thing about this app is that you don’t need to be connected to the internet to use it. Also has a thesaurus. Wordelicious.
  3. Cash Trails we enter spending into this app and then email it weekly as a spreadsheet. Good for keeping an eye on spending and budgeting. Cashtastic.
  4. Ultimate To Do there are a billion ‘to-do’ apps. This one syncs with toodledo and follows the principles from David Allen and the GTD cult system. Just do it.
  5. ABC News + Media good up-to-date news and other media from different ABC websites. ABC are leading the way in Oz in embracing new media. Sexy news.

Got an iPhone? What’s your #1 app??

  1. Agree on the ABC app – very, very classy. I am impressed with it.

    Bible (YouVersion) – many translations available. Great for the train commute each day.

    BOMRadar – hey, I am a weather nut after all.

    Facebook – very easy to use mobile interface for this highly addictive (and time-wasting) site.

    UNO – addictive!!! I once filled in a whole 2 hour train trip playing this.

    Weatherzone – best weather app available for the iPhone

  2. I give up :P Should say “blatant plug” within mock HTML tags…

    OK, enough spamming your blog now.

  3. haha – nice convo with yourself matt!!!

    youversion – it’s not working on my phone at the moment. i think it’s got some great interactive features. but i actually don’t really use a bible app. i use the mobile biblegateway.com and esv websites. much quicker and easier to copy text from. i’ll have a post in the new year comparing the different bible apps.

    i use facebook – but i don’t think it’s a very good app.

    uno – i’ve got 1 game on my phone. soccer. but don’t play it very much. don’t want more games to distract!

    bomradar – is it helpful for storm chasing?

    weatherzone – you should put out a lite version so cheap skates can give it a trial before committing the cash for it. convince me to get it… (i use the yahoo one, PWAU lite and i often go to wz mobile site)

  4. BoMRadar – yes, it is helpful for storm chasing, when we ever actually get the chance to do that anymore! I hate to say it, but the radar part of the WZ app is not very user-friendly at the moment (it will improve in coming versions) so I mainly use this app to check the radar.

    Weatherzone – yes, it very much is a work in progress. We may well put out a lite version in future…
