What are some good apps to start with?

[Icarus73]

So this will be my first iPhone and I'm wondering if you have some recommendations for apps. Preferably free, but cheap paid apps are ok too. I'm cheap. I'm not much into games, but not opposed to suggestions either. I'm a musician so good music apps are appreciated.

I already downloaded Pandora, SoundHound, AT&T myWireless, Bump, Mint.com, USA Today, and Wells Fargo Mobile

I am T-Pain. If you're talented and into the art of music, you will love that app.





Just kidding btw...

 

[Icarus73]

haha, someone told me about that. sounds funny.

 

[STEVESKI07]

It is funny and mildly entertaining for a little while, but I think it's overpriced and I would think real musicians would take offense to the app just as they take offense to calling T-Pain a real singer.

Weather channel, free or paid
I like Night Stand when traveling
Splash Money
Around Me

Some of my favorite:

Facebook (I use the most)
Sportstap for sports scores
Remote
Runkeeper Free or Pro
Shazam
SkyVoyager
Wikipanion
Scrabble
Espgaluda II

Im also currently usingh the ESPN Fifa World cup app. The i am T-pain app is lots of fun, but can get old quick.

Also if you have a mac, you may want to consider getting the Apple Remote application, if you listen to music on your computer. If that is your thing, you could get a remote desktop app called iTeleport which is really cool and over wifi is almost real-time. If you set it up, it means over 3G you can access your computer which can be helpful if you use bittorrent or other things.

Pandora is a must... for camera apps check out CameraBag (especially since the camera on this will be great) Lastly, WeatherChannel is great and better than the built in app.

Good luck, I'm sure you'll have a great time exploring the well-established app store!

AOL Radio is pretty good for streaming music.

Plus you can usually find an app for your favorite radio station.

- Stanza is a great reader, but we'll see iBooks on the new phones.
- What's On for TV listings (use this daily)
- Add to the chorus for Weather Channel (I use free and don't miss anything)
- IMDB movie guide as I like old movies
- Angry Birds is one of the simplest, hardest, most addicting, frustrating, fun games out there.
- ListenListen is an interesting Match-it game using musical tones. Might be fun for you or a kid in your life, should you have one

That should get you started.

If you're like me and hate ATT's moronic 20 dollar unlimited texting fee, download Beejive (free texting, IM etc). If Beejive is too much for ya, IM+ will do the same thing minus connecting you to MSN, Yahoo, Facebook etc, but will still allow you to text via AIM.

As for simple games, I enjoy Homerun Battle, Angry Birds, Word Flick, Canabalt, and Fruit Ninja.

Angry Birds.

Second. Angry Birds is the best dollar I've spent on a game since I spent a buck learning Scorpion's finishing move on MK in the arcade back in the day.
