Dannyboi3k

Pittens

There are 100,000 apps, most of them free. Discovery is an issue. Dont limit yourself to what anybody here might say ( myself included ) since we dont know what you like.

Just use the iPhone, or iTunes to browse the top lists.

Dazzer B

Hi pittens I understand what your saying, but I was only looking for a guide line, of course I will be looking at apps myself wanted to know what other people taught were good,,,,,?

Dazzer B:)

+1 for Palringo.
Also try Kickscreen for high quality movie trailers about cinema, upcoming and DVD releases.
If your into sports try out the Eurosport app too, lets you customize the layout to put your favourite sports first.

Palringo lets you create an account on the app in seconds its only asking you for username and password.. simple
Then you just log in using msn details

And Darren Pandora Box is free too

Jaysus lads you are going gave loads fun when ye get really into the iPhone. I started reading this thread and decided I would count actually how many apps I had on my 3g 8gb (jailbroken) Right now. Was amazed to find I had 110 !!! Some like Navigon I don't bother have on phone all the time but keep it on iTunes cause it gobbles up an awful lot of space. Having said that I still have just half of the 8gb still free.

Start loading up those apps guys!!

Skype
TuneWiki (Good at getting lyrics for songs, some aren't right though but it gets more right than wrong)

RTE 2fm, RTE News

The iPhone port of the open source media player AFAIK. Looks like it anyway. Plays divx etc. No need to convert videos etc to mp4.

Oh and I forgot two very important apps.

DiskAid - makes your iPhone accessible via a Windows file manager - like a USB harddrive basically

*snip*

Dannyboi3k

Likin them last two apps realcam

iKeith

APP CRATE - Loads of cool **** in one app
Winterboard - For updating the themes of my phone (from cydia - jailbroken)

*snip*
Butcher - For all my meat advice
Drunkalizer - Great fun - make people sound pissed

Fantasy football, or to quote the name properly Fntsyfoot09 - Great for updating my team on the go
FHM - daily smut and jokes and facts of the day

Lol some would say I've been the total opposite.

When I come in from work at about 2:30 am I can never get to sleep...so just lay in bed playing with the phone...Also, I don't watch television! That frees up quite a bit of time.

Concert Vault, found it yesterday, it's already my favorite app. A must for all music lovers. You can access over 2950 live concert recordings some dating back to the 60s. And it's FREE, works on 3g too

Hail 2 Da Chimp

Great thread guys,
Was just wondering: Can anyone recommend a free SMS application? I have a vodafone.ie account but rarely use any web texts.
Can anyone recommend an App which will synch up to that account to send free texts?

I am using an iTouch - so will be connecting over wi-fi, if thats an issue.

Ninja edit: I've checked the Apps page and seen the message for the Jelly Bean Free App - can anyone recommend it?

doneill2003

did you get the iphone from IOS or O2

That's exactly what EirText does (syncs to your Vodafone/O2/Meteor web account)... the basic edition is free.

There's actually a desktop version for Mac OS X, which I use a lot more and it's great. The basic free iPhone version has worked well for me too, does exactly what it says on the tin really... Since it can access the phone contacts, it's much handier than using Vodafone's site directly and that's the best thing about it. It's free anyway, so why not give it a go?

Hail 2 Da Chimp

Will do - thanks for the advice!

That's kinda off topic for this thread - I'm sure someone will post in your other thread about IOS delivery... no need to post in other threads instead... FWIW, no, I didn't get my iPhone from IOS or O2 ...
