Favourite iPhone Apps: Part 2
September 21st, 2008. Published under General. No Comments.
As I said in the “Favourite iPhone Apps: Part 1” I knew that my list would change some what. So now I am going to compile my latest favourite apps and show which have stuck around and which have lost their novelty value.
Another change since last time was I have now spread onto another page of apps. I have used 3 pages (Which is quite a low number). But if I don’t use an app for a while or lose interest I delete it.
Twinkle
This is the only app that survived my top 3! Twinkle is made by Tapulous, who also make Tap Tap Revenge. It’s a Twitter application that originated in the installer.app on the old jailbroken iPhone. I used it briefly because I actually used Hahlo, a Twitter web app. The simple reason was that it worked faster and looked better. But being a web app it was prone to problems.
I have kept this app on my phone since I first got the device. I use Twitter all the time and to me this is by far the best free Twitter client on the iPhone. There are a few problems with it but version 2.1 of the software is currently being approved by Apple, it should be out any month now! 
iFooty
This app was created by a couple of guys who obviously love football (soccer to you americans). It is exactly what you need from a football application. I am a die hard Reading FC fan and love keeping up with how their are doing, latest news, upcoming fixtures and results. This app does just that by using all the information from the BBC’s football website.
The only time I see myself not using this app is if a better one comes out. Or it’s just the end of the season and there is no news to catch up on!
Remote
This app is developed by Apple, this annoys me a bit as they have built in extra functionality into iTunes to make this work. Which other apps obviously do not have! Anyway, I have only really started using this app over the weekend. I have a mac mini on my desk and was sitting with my Windows laptop on my bed coding away and wanted to start the lastest Diggnation podcast episode. All I did was go to Remote, find the podcast and click on it. It then started playing on the Mac mini, through the speakers. Simple as that!
But my girlfriends dad used it just to annoy her. He would sit downstairs while she was upstairs on the internet. He would randomly start playing Abba really loud! That of course is the fun way to use it
That concludes my latest review of my favourite apps on the iPhone. I will no doubt change my thoughts again! Subscribe to my RSS feed to be kept up to date.
