What Apps. are you waiting for?

[Poat84]

Is there a certain app. you are waiting for to come out?

[zap2]

iWork Mobile, DocstoGo or Open Office Mobile


Either one, would rock


Oh, and The Sims might be nice!

[skubish]

Drug wars or Office Wars

[stockcerts]

Turn by turn GPS. Quite honestly, I don't think it's coming. This is my biggest dissapointment with the Iphone.

[kas23]

I just hope something fresh and new (doesn't even have to be exciting necessarily) comes along soon. Lately, it seems like the App Store has hit a Glass Ceiling in terms of creativity and function. For the past month or so, excluding games, nothing really has come out except for fart apps, count down apps, and one-touch dialers. App Stores needs a shot in the arm.

[Pooshka]

Apple Dictionary, Skype and updated Facebook

I agree. Let alone mms. They have gps yet no turn by turn WTF.

[Rayfire]

An app that would hide/eliminate all those crappy apps in the App store. :rolleyes:

[Galley]

iWork Mobile

[egk69]

I dont know if its possible, but a APP that can make the Iphone turn widescreen in every program would be GREAT!, or a APP that integrates the Wide KEYBOARD in every program that you need to use it (MAIL, SMS, etc etc) but using the Original apps, not a app that kinda replace, or half replace it!

also a normal bluetooth mode would be great, I guess Apple can BLOCK the itunes transfer if thats why they didnt do it the 1st place


And like others have said, a Office for the Iphone, that Would make more people get interested on the iPhone, and will make it a more bussiness/ serious phone, cause you can do your work in there, Words, Excel, etc etc!

AND I cant remember anything else, hehe

edit: a App, or something that will make the iPhone send MMS!!??

I dont see why so simple things like blueth... and MMS are not usable on the iPhone

Waiting on an ultimate Scheduling/To-do/List manager app, and a stable finance app that has the speed of entry of an app like Accountr, the stability of an app like Checkbook, but the bells and whistles of SplashMoney.

Also, a Rotten Tomatoes app that includes just the Tomato meter, the average rating, the synopsis, and the general consensus for movie. Current movie apps include just new releases, and looking it up on the net takes too much time and battery life. I wanna be able to quickly look up that info while standing in a video rental shop.

I saw an app for Korean 101, a similar app for Japanese would be great (I've got vocab learning apps and dictionaries, just need the know-how to use all that vocab and kanji I'm learning).

[powersurge]

I really want more official branded board games such as Battleship, RISK, etc.. (I really need to try out the new Monopoly too!)

I could also go for more highly polished "full games" that take advantage of the touch screen UI rather than trying to emulate D pad and buttons. If Fieldrunners had more maps and features this would be one. Its got a nice level of polish, graphics, controls, etc.. just not a lot of content.

On top of that less cell phone/puzzle games and more fully featured games. Devs should think hey this is like making a DS game but without the buttons! :D

[dougdawson]

Can you tell us about this app?

It's a finance application inspired by a childhood visit to Saskatchewan and the ghost of John Diefenbaker.

I'm waiting for Metro for the iPhone, due out sometime early 2009
http://metro.nanika.net/index.php?p=MetroZ

it's one of the few apps I miss after switching from Palm Treo to iPhone. it's the best transit route planning app, IMO. and the developer is finally porting it to the iPhone. I really miss it when I travel overseas.

the other couple apps I miss from PalmOS days, not essential but kinda unique are:

Planetarium - astronomy / stargazing app
PocketSat - satellite tracking app

[netdog]

iWeb Mobile.

[techfreak85]

iLife suite.

Firefox mobile!

A whole app just for copy/paste? Damn. :rolleyes:

[Nitromaster]

i was playing burning monkey casino and inside is an included scratch ticket application. by rubbing your fingers on the screen it scratches the ticket. My parents really enjoyed this. scratch ticket fun without the expense. anyway what im waiting for is a better version of this concept but with many more ticket types.

something like 2 5 10 and 20 dollar tickets of varies game types would be awesome

[techfreak85]

there used to be an app called Tomatoes that offered a simple interface to search the RT database and presents the avg rating and one-page synopsis. I used it quite bit doing exactly as you described, deciding which movie to watch at the theater or at the video store. Unfortunately the app just went dark one day without any notice or explanation. The app is no longer in the app store. I suspect the developer likely received a cease and desist letter from RT's lawyers for unauthorized use of RT's content. I do hope if RT bothered to take down an unauthorized app, it is developing an iphone app on its own and it's coming soon.

cool! that's what i really want... but can an app do this for iPhone? I guess only Apple can make such one....

[Lara F]

Slingplayer (absolute #1, I'll jump for joy when this comes out and pray it's 3G capable)
Flash - I'm sick of not being able to watch icenetwork.com, and hulu would be a great bonus
Mobipocket reader (thank goodness I mostly went with ereader on the Palm, but I do have a few DRM'd Mobi titles unfortunately)
Real player (for BBC radio outside UK)
Documents To Go
Sirius/XM player
Turn by Turn GPS

[kas23]

It would have to be part of the framework, not an app. Right now, apps can't communicate with each other because no background apps are allowed.

I agree the App Store offerings are somewhat boring recently, and the focus is still on games. I’d like to see enhanced travel apps and more interactive reference material. Yeah I know, but that's just me.

I'm waiting for Documents to Go by Dataviz. I emailed them last week and they said this should be coming out in the first quarter of 2009.

[iappsnow]

For the past month or so, excluding games, nothing really has come out except for fart apps, count down apps, and one-touch dialers. App Stores needs a shot in the arm.
The reason why nothing useful or fresh is coming out is because 10,000's of people a day are buying fart apps for $.99 . I think if people would seriously make an effort to not buy those stupid apps and save up your money to buy an $3.99 app, you would see better apps coming out. I have put off several ideas to focus on easy, cheap apps because that is what makes money.

they should have an app where all of the Ultimate guitars tabs are stored and you can look at them in a iphone type format

[mkrishnan]

Oh ya, and a photobucket app.

The official Photobucket for iPhone app was crap when it first debuted, but it actually improved quite a lot. I think it's usable now.

PocketSat - satellite tracking app

PocketSat3 will be ready in another week or 2. Keep your eyes peeled - it's pretty cool, even if I do say so myself.

And I second your mention of Planetarium. Nothing else even comes close when it comes to actually _using_ an app like that. Really. Should we bug Andreas about it?

I'd add HandyShopper to the list, too.

[Scarpad]

I'd still would like to see an app that allows for custom screen tweaking for like color and contrast....

[TuffLuffJimmy]

I want a good office suite, iWork would be great since I use Pages on the desktop. I want iCal to sync my todos, and I want my todos to show up in Mail too. I want a good Facebook app, one that has the same features as the desktop webpage.

Oh! And I'm waiting for an app that will allow me to play music from myspace band pages.

I second that. I would prefer an iWork app since it would support iWork and Office and I use both. From what I see Quickoffice only supports iWork 08 and Office. Documents2Go looks like it will do the same. I think an Apple made app would be the best solution.

Now that the Singplayer app is out I hope the Hava app comes out soon. I hope the Hava one is able to stream over 3G/edge though.
