A friend of mine recently got an iPhone and asked me to share my absolutely must-have applications. Here’s the list of the applications that I use just about every day, and which I can’t live without:
Evernote - my auxiliary brain, it stores everything from travel reservations, to pictures of business cards (which are OCR’ed and searchable), to outstanding Web orders, to meeting notes – they are all there and quickly accessble.
Dialer - an amazing freeware app that provides voice dialing that works to the iPhone.
Google - the iPhone frontend to everyone’s search engine.
Twitterific Premium – my own particular favorite Twitter app.
DocsToGo – lets me view and edit Word and Excel work files on my iPhone
reQall – this app has changed the way I manage my ToDo’s, and allows me to enter them via voice.
Snapture – I seem to constantly change my photo taking application on my iPhone, but this is my current favorite and is far superior to the built-in app.
Facebook – terrific iPhone app for interfacing with Facebook.
Say Where? – Say where did this go, it’s not in the App Store anymore! Anyway, this freeware app allows me to speak a business category or name or an address into my iPhone and have it kick off a search for it in the built-in Maps application – great when you’re driving and don’t have your hands free.
Pandora - music, music, music, and free, too!
Kindle – this app has actually replaced my Kindle device!
G-Map US & Canada – the latest incarnation of the G-Map GPS program, it’s replaced my Tom Tom GPS unit.
Skype – free and/or very low-cost calling over WiFi
That’s it. What are yours?
