Is there an app for that ?

[magewarrior]

wether you have a BlackBerry, iPhone, or one of the many android powered smartphones out there Im sure you've downloaded at least one app by now. So my question is "what are a few of your favourites and why do you like them so much" I'll Start (obviously )

fyi these apps are available for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.

1. Skype and Tango (for video calls) although you can still use it to call a landline or cell if u want but you have to buy Skype credits to do so. Tango to my knowledge is only used for video calls. Both are exceptional ways to keep in touch with family and friends.

2. Appzilla 2 (boasts over 106 apps in 1 and counting) for 0.99 on the itunes app store it's become one of my favourites. I havn't had any issues with it and all apps perform equally well. The only downside is it's been takeing up too much of my time lol

3. Discovr Apps (for apps) and Discovr Music (for music) : imo it's one of the best ways to find apps and music out there. All you do is type in one of your favourite apps or bands and the app goes to work for you finding similar apps and music for you to listen to and try according to your individual taste. I only wish they had something like this for songs.

4. AppShopper : Think of this app like an itunes app store flyer. Once the app is open it nicely lays out a bunch of different apps that have gone down in price or have become free. The big difference between this and other similar apps is it's nice and simple straightforward layout.

This is all i got for now but I'm constantly downloading apps for my iPod Touch so stay tuned lol anyways I`m interested in hearing some of your favourites. So go ahead and post already. Make sure to include wether it is a android, blackberry or itunes app, so the rest of us dont get confused.

There's an iPhone (iOS) app that my brother has that records you during the night. It picks up on any sleep-talking that you might do. Scary and pointless - therefor I love it

[fire_of_avalon]

Very scary. I probably chant in Latin. I don't need to know about that.

[_Ash]

Apparently, I laugh a lot. Which is very scary...

[magewarrior]

might give it a try. although i've heard from others that i snore a lot and when i do sleep talk (rarely) all i do is mumble, no one can make out anything i say lol

(back to the topic) ... 2 more for the day

5. Parachute Ninja : about as addiciting as "cut the rope" wich isn't a surprise since its created by the very same developers that worked on "cut the rope" basically you take control of a little round ninja and you're flinging him from line to line while using his parachute (makeing full use of the built in tilting feature) to land him safely from point a to point b. Very solid and addicting gameplay.

6. Awsome Note (+ ToDo) : Its a full featured app that does it all (to-do's, grocery checklist, journal, and takeing notes) all in one. It's a very useful app and it does everything well. Downside, it's gonna cost you 3.99 in the itunes app store. Worth it, definatly can't imagine a day without it, been useing it for about 3 weeks now and I use it almost everyday.

available for the iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad

I'll post some for the Android phone that I have...these are some of my favorites:

• Swype (so much better & cooler than the built-in keyboard!)
• Handcent SMS (I like this text messaging program better than the one that came with the phone...tons of features!)
• Android Agenda Widget (best calendar app I've found to show all my upcoming GCal events on a screen)
• Shazam (for that occasional song you hear on the radio that you want to know the name of)
• Barcode Scanner (I don't really use this to look up prices of things...more so for the random android barcodes I may stumble across)
• Astro File Manager (file manager to see all the files I have on my phone/SD card as well as play videos I've saved on there)
• Gtasks (I have this linked to my Google Tasks, essentially as a to-do list)
• Foursquare/Yelp (I'm addicted to checking into Foursquare and Yelp and writing reviews/posting pictures)
• Tip Calculator is handy (especially if you have a big group bill you need to split)
• Words with Friends (scrabble game you can play against your friends)
• Alchemy (fun game)
• And I use AppBrain to keep track of all the apps I have on my phone, and I can install/uninstall stuff from the web. Easier than navigating through the marketplace, IMHO.

There was this variant of hangman I was playing on a friend's phone last night. You play against someone else but making a word out of given letters (think scrabble) and then they have to guess. I don't remember the name but it was addictive! Using cool works like regal, dynamo and boners was fun too

Bump! one of the most interesting apps I've come across in awhile. Basically it allows you to share contacts, photos, music, location, and even chat just by Bumping phones together. Once you Bump they are automatically saved in your contacts list and you can Bump with them anytime and anywhere. ie a virtual long distance Bump. It's pretty cool. Available for both android and iOS powered devices.

android:

- network monitor (though why? It takes me forever to hit my monthly limit)
- shazam
- wapedia (Wapedia)
- fbreader
- torch/flashlight apps
- google maps

I don't go nuts with apps. I probably don't use much else

• Foursquare/Yelp (I'm addicted to checking into Foursquare and Yelp and writing reviews/posting pictures)
• Words with Friends (scrabble game you can play against your friends)

android:

These. I also use:

• List Master - Great for keeping to-do lists, shopping lists, etc... It's very handy to have a shopping list with me at all times as I think of things I need to get at random times, from when i'm wandering around the apartment to when I'm out running errands.
• GasBuddy - It tells me where cheap gas is close by. Very nice.
• Pandora - Most of my music comes through here now. I usually enjoy listening to this more than the radio in the car.
• Google Voice - I do a lot of my texting on here and it's a great aggregator.

I'm kinda addicted to foursquare.
