My Favorite iPod Touch/iPhone Apps
I have had my iPod Touch since November and haven’t talked much about it. I got the 32 GB version because I thought it would replace my current iPod. I would have gotten a bigger one if they made one. It would be nice to fit all my music one device. I hate weeding out stuff, but oh well.
The truth is I don’t use my Touch as an iPod very often. The interface on my old iPod is just better. I can control it without removing it from my pocket. I didn’t think that would be a big deal, but it is. I pretty much only listen to my Touch when my other iPod battery is low. I still love my Touch though. I bring it everywhere just to see where I can get WiFi. WiFi is beginning to be everywhere. Most restaurants have it, the Mall has it, and I even found a gas station that has it. I will now drive out of the way just so I can get some internets while I am getting gas. I don’t have a ton of apps on it yet, but I thought I would share some of my favorites.
Must haves – These ones are super popular that most people should know about and everybody should have.
- Google Earth – Just ‘cus it’s cool.
- Pandora – To discover new music.
- Slacker – A lot like Pandora.
- Iheartradio – To listen to radio stations all over.
- Facebook – I find the app easier to use than the site.
- Twitterriffic – There may be better Twitter apps, but this one just works.
Weather – The Touch has a weather app build in, but I like these two for more detailed information.
- The Weather Channel
- AccuWeather
Games – There are tons of games. Here are some of my favorites.
- Topple – One of my first games I bought. I think it is free now.
- Sudoku – Sometimes I get board enough to play Sudoku.
- Labyrinth – Pretty fun game, and much easier than the wooden version.
- Tap Tap Revenge – Fun game to rock out to, just wish it had more songs.
- Adventure – One of my all time favorite games. If you didn’t play it on the 2600 you won’t understand.
- Yahtzee – It’s, well, Yahtzee.
- TapDefense – It’s Desktop Tower Defense for your palm.
- PenguinLite – How can catapulting Penguins not be fun?
Video Watching – The Touch comes with a YouTube app, but these two are cool too.
- Joost – View what Joost has to offer.
- Ustream – Watch Ustream videos.
Misc – Other cool apps.
- Stanza – This is an awesome app if you want to read books on your Touch. You can download and read tons of books for free, or for fee.
- VNC- Because it’s just cool controlling your computer from your iPod.
- Mint – I never used the site until the app came out. It’s nice to get a quick glance at all my banking accounts on my Touch.
- USA Today – I nice app to catch up on the news with.
- Remote – Great for remotely controlling iTunes.
That’s just a few of my favorite apps. Maybe I do have quite a few apps.
