app is free and good

Huh?

EuskalHerria · 19-08-2011 5:43pm

I have no idea what that was supposed to be. Theres an App currently number one of the free Irish charts. It lets you view live streams of channels from the UK and around the world. Theres some sports channels on there that I'm pretty sure stream Premier League games so definitely worth a go. Was messing with the App last night checking out channels and the quality of E4 was better on my phone than with sky.

Ah yes,filmon!
Cool,didnt know they had an app now!
Wonder will those jailbreak apps that fool the phone into thinking its on wifi rather than 3g will work with it?

Is Viber any good? I came across it over the weekend.

tfitzgerald · 22-08-2011 6:52pm

I find viber very good the calls viber to viber are free so I ring my sister in US a lot I might be wrong but I'm sure to get the free calls you have to be on a wireless network . Overall I would recommend it

You have to pay in game for loads of stuff apparently.

Official free Rugby World Cup app is out....just downloaded it and it looks quite good

Mr E · 23-08-2011 2:32pm

Fragger is free today. Brilliant physics based puzzle game with hundreds of levels. One of the best games of its type.

guil · 23-08-2011 6:36pm

siege hero is an angry birds style game and it's free
it's really addictive

Sad Professor · 23-08-2011 9:41pm

Can anyone recommend a good to-do list app? They seem to be dime-a-dozen with a lot of mixed reviews. Don't know where to start.

cson · 24-08-2011 2:55am

Just downloaded redlaser there but its not showing up on my iPhone screen at all - any ideas?

A great game!! not as hard as Angry Birds can be at times.

Mauricmo · 24-08-2011 6:45pm

Filmon is brilliant!

Loads of channels available and can be used over 3g and goes HD over wi-fi.

Whats the catch? Is it only temporarily free and are there othere apps like this?

FilmOn was available for the past few months through the Safari browser. It was free at the start but after a while they eventually took in a subscription service. I'm pretty sure they'll do the same with the app after a while.

STIG83 · 24-08-2011 7:31pm

Any game out there like Beehive Bedlam that's on Sky Interactive available on the App Store?

Evernote

Can you create them in the app? If so, how?

bc dub · 25-08-2011 7:19pm

You just open the app and add your note. if you download the desktop app for your home pc you can synchronise your notes to show up when your at home. And vice versa.

Sad Professor · 25-08-2011 7:27pm

That's grand for taking notes, but I'm looking for a to-do list. I want to be able to be make entries and check them off as I complete them. I use Evernote already and the desktop version does support to-do lists but not the iOS version.

Toodledo is good, Things or Remember the milk.

Toodledo is my personal favourite, ajax web based service, syncs with outlook, nice iPad/iPhone interface. Supports contexts etc.

cianr · 26-08-2011 9:39am

I like Awesome Note for notes and todo lists.

I think iOS 5 has a new kinda to-do list app.

Ahh - here we go.

You'll have to wait a month or so though!

Sad Professor · 26-08-2011 12:08pm

Reminders in iOS 5 looks perfect. I'll use a free app until then. Cheers, guys.

barryd09 · 26-08-2011 12:17pm

Anyone know what the story with the ESPN Goals app that they are still advertising is?
I cant find it in the App Store at all!is it UK only?

Also,I know theres loads of alternative apps for the iphone camera (I use Camera+) but is there alternative video recording apps?
Not interested in adding effects etc,just recording video as usual,just maybe a better/easier interface?

Will I Amnt · 27-08-2011 11:14am

Songify is great craic,especially with a few beers.Basically you just talk into the mic and it autotunes what you say into a song with a choice of music styles.

Dodge · 27-08-2011 5:35pm

Bejewleed 2 is free today. My favourite iphone game

Check out Wunderlist. Works a treat for me.

Shop shop. Very simple but I like it. Free.
Just a list and you can tick them off as you go along.
It's more a list that 'to do' but I use it for lists of films to watch, books to read etc.

scuba steve · 30-08-2011 11:02pm

Is there any app that lets you password protect a single app or a folder?

barryd09 · 31-08-2011 1:06am

You need to be jailbroken AFAIK.

Lockdown Pro is what I use.

sonic.trip · 31-08-2011 5:52am

Apologies if these have been mentioned before;

Came across a good app for anyone interested in aviation/airplanes called iPlane.CIV which has information on most civilian airline fleats as well as aircraft info and lots of pictures.

Also for any amateur foodies, ask the butcher has diagrams of meat cuts for beef, lamb, pork and veal and information on all the cuts with a timer to cook them how you want. pretty handy I think

Yeah of jailbroken, another is locktopus.

I use Alarmed. It's free, and includes a to-do list (Reminders), which shows your Active & Completed reminders/tasks which you can also add notes to. It's the simplest & the best I've found out there.

Sitec · 31-08-2011 5:35pm

Is there any app that records voice calls?

Edited: Sounded a bit creepy. Say if someone calls out a number / address / information. Something I can just press record on and it records the call and can then be played back.

I fully endorse this.Nice app,works as it should.

Is there an app that gives you your balance on Three.
Bookmarks/Planet 3 isn't always available and sometimes a read-out is better than a spoken balance.

I always just log into the three site to check it but my girlfriend recently got an iphone with three and the fella in the shop just set up a bookmark that she can press to automatically get the info. I have to log in with username and password every time...
Anyone know how to do this?

tupac_healy · 18-09-2011 9:55pm

No, you'd have to jailbreak.

kraggy · 20-09-2011 11:38am

Some questions guys,

1. Is there an app that tells you where you are located at that moment in time. I live in Seoul, in the top 5 biggest cities in the world and street signs aren't very clear, so is there a Gps for people's location so to speak? A free one if possilbe?

2. Am I missing something blatantly obvious or something, but I can't find any reminder function on my iphone 4. If the thing I want to remember is that day, I can just use an alarm but if it's not for the current day I can't figure out what to do.

3. What handy things can you do by shaking the phone?

4. Is there any way of getting to the bottom of a web page real quick, the way that you can get back to the top of the page by tapping the top bar?

That's all I can thnk of. If anyone can help with any of them, that'd be great.

Thanks a million.

1. Google maps (its already on your phone)

2. In the calendar or search for a reminder app in the app store

3. Signal for help in a dark place

4.No

When typing, shaking the phone will give you the option to undo.

iOS 5 is coming soon and includes an official reminders/shopping list/to do list type app.

Was sorely lacking although there are a whole load of custom apps.
