Must Have iPhone Apps


10) Dropbox - Numerous apps allow you to transfer content between your computer and your device, but Dropbox is free and more user-friendly than most of its counterparts. Dump files you want to sync in a folder on your computer and Dropbox will allow you to access them, download them for viewing. It really helps to synchronize the stuff you have on your PC, laptop and your iPhone.






9) Truphone - Making international calls can be very expensive, so Truphone was created to give users free calls to Skype, Truphone and Google Talk users! No matter where you are or which country you’re calling.






8) Pandora Radio - is a real treat for all music lovers out there! It allows you to create a personalized radio station. How does it do that? It learns your taste of music by the ratings that you give songs that they play, gradually adjusting and playing more songs to suit the genre that you like! You can create up to a 100 different stations playing many different genres. With the Iphone 4, you can listen to Pandora no matter what app you’re using, so long it doesn’t need audio.






7) Todo - If you’re the forgetful sort that will try your best to remember something but still completely forget about it in the end, this app will probably save you more than once. It notes down your appointments in a systematic and easy-to-view manner. It’s free too!






6) Hipstamatic - This cool iPhone app offers a variety of lenses, flashes and film for what will seem like an infinite combination of outcomes. You can upload photos to Facebook or Flickr within the app itself. The moment you launch the app, your screen transforms into something like the back of a camera. Synthetic clearly went the extra mile to create a unique app that doesn’t just produce nice results, but is engaging and fun to use before you take the picture itself. It’s definitely worth it to purchase the “Hipstapaks” that contain additional lenses, films and flashes. If you’re a camera lover, this is for you.






5) Facebook - How can we not include Facebook? The new grid-based interface on the home screen provides easy access to the section of choice such as news feed, notifications etc. With almost everyone using Facebook these days , its one way to stay in touch with your friends on the go. No longer do you have to go through the hassle of logging on to the shared computer at work or wait till you get home before you connect with your friends!






4) RunKeeper Free - This app uses the iPhone’s GPS capabilities to track your jogging route, providing mapping and details of pace and approximate calories burned all in one screen.

3) Whatsapp Messenger - This instant messaging application can help you shave a few dollars off your handphone bill each month if you use it to message your friends who have the app too. You’ll be surprised by how many of your friends actually use this app! The interface doesn’t lose to that of the normal messaging function of the iPhone but in addition, it tells you when your friends are online and when they’re not. Also, since it’s completely free, you can simply send as many messages without squeezing it all into 1 message which is kinda irritating at times.






2) PingChat! - This app will help you and your bunch of friends stay connected with each other. It is a group messaging service that allows all your friends to enter a single chat room (think of msn). Not only can you text, you can send pictures and videos to all your friends via a few simple steps. Best of all, its free!






1) Yelp - With this app, you can always find whatever you need whenever you need it. By determining your location via GPS, it can locate the nearest restaurant, bank, drugstore etc. With Yelp! You will never have to ask strangers for directions and hope they point you in the right way ever again!
