I put this one on my phone yesterday but I keep getting 'can't connect to the network' up on the screen. It also says 'please quit and try again later'.
Anyone know the reason?

finbarrk · 02-03-2010 11:48pm

Also a problem with the concert vault app. It won't play the song in full, only in patches. Also the browse section doesn't seem to work.
My reception isn't too bad.

There's a really good free game called iBomber

You're in a plane dropping bombs on enemy targets.

It's fun and if you play it too much, you end up thinking like

Stanza is a fantastic e-reader. realistic page-turning and links to loads of classic free novels - Charles Dickens etc.
Big Oven - Cookery. Over 170,000 recipes, leftover wizard and ability to upload recipes and do shopping lists plus some other social networking type stuff like see who's cooking tonight etc.
ORB - If you store your music on a PC this gives you access to all your music/videos/movies on the iphone so no more limitations on music due to memory size - you need to install the app. on the PC as well.
NFSU - Need for Speed Undercover - great racing app with amazing graphics .

francie BradyII · 05-03-2010 1:27am

Is anyone able to get the sky+ app to work. i can never get mine to work, it just says there's a problem and try later! would be a great app if it worked

I came across tapatalk yesterday. It's great for sites that use vBulletin software that don't already have a mobile version of the site (AVForums is the one I use most). No more pinching, pulling and dragging! It cost €2.39 and I'm getting a good thrill out of using it!!

Just got a free App from Cydia named "LastApp"

It's exactly what the iPhone is missing.
Are you fed up with having to close one App to go back to the last one you had open , then back again ?
(e.g) You are in Safari but wanna open your mail quickly , means you have you close Safari , open mail , close mail , back into Safari.:(

Well "LastApp" will allow to quickly toggle between 2 of the last Apps open , or set certain buttons or motions (great addition) to toggle between certain Apps.

I have set it up so if I'm in Safari I quickly shake my device and it will open my mail , another shake and I'm back into Safari .

it's bacically CTRL ALT for your phone

Well worth the 0c price .

Please excuse my newbieness (my phone is only arriving today), but am i right in saying that this only works on a jailbroken phone?

Is there an equivalent app for a un-jb phone?

Only if jailbroken yes - I don't know of an app store alternative.

I was having that problem...

Here's how to fix it...go onto my sky homepage and remove the remote record feature from your account...then add another user...then make that user the primary user and start using remote record again...log into tv plus or sky+ with your new username and it'll work then

Live Score is magic, and free. Woke up this morning and got all the LOI scores, scorers etc straight away. Gets updated every 60 seconds as well.

Can someone recommend an app for cooking/recipes please. Free if possible!

I can recommend Ratio, which isn't free, but isn't expensive (€3.99). It's not recipes, it contains ratios that form the basis of recipes, with a conversion calculator and help on using the ratios. For example: say you have one egg and you want to make fresh pasta, this tells you how much flour to use and how to make the pasta. The details are up to you e.g. add spinach if you like.

Other free apps I've enjoyed recently:

Icy Escort (platform game with a twist)
Seadragon: Microsoft's experimental image browser lets you view gigapixel images online without massive downloads
Sky News
FStream (audio streams)
Shakespeare (complete works)
EasyBeats LE (drum machine)

Thanks for that, I'm on vodafone so thinking about getting one soon and it's a big thing for me that it would sync with outlook.

Football SC - Gives up to the minutes scores on all football matches in loads of european football leagues, latest league tables, match text commentary, scorers, etc..
Newstalk\2FM\Today FM - Can be hit and miss in 3g areas but perfect in wireless.

dinneenp · 25-03-2010 5:56pm

might have already mentioned:
shopshop- great for lists (can make multiple) and can tick stuff off. i use it for 'albums to *aquire*, books to read, shopping etc.
To do's- a to do list, can enter details, priorities (high, medium,low)
accounts- use it for betting to keep track of bets and categories

all are free

gavney1 · 25-03-2010 6:09pm

Ok, obviously missed something there. I thought when someone wrote "Masters App 2010" with no explanation as to why they were saying it, directly after my question, that it was an answer to my question. Apparently not...

Anyway, does anyone know of a good data-entry app?

Try iSpreadsheet free, it's fully functional apart from ads, so shouldn't be a much problem.

LadyJedi · 25-03-2010 6:47pm

Am addicted to bejewelled at mo, tv guide v. handy, just got RTE news free app, is pretty good, you will go thru hundreds of free ones til you happy, don't bother getting empire movie app is rip off and missing loads of movies it should have, entertainment app is really good for finding what's on locally movies, music arts etc

danman · 25-03-2010 10:21pm

Does any one know of a good app that acts like an organiser, similar to one one a nokia phone.
It will alarm before the meeting or task that you must do.

I always used this feature on my old nokia, and I find the calender on the iPhone very clumsey.

danman · 25-03-2010 10:22pm

Oh, I'm loving this thread, I can't believe I haven't spotted it before.

Dman001 · 25-03-2010 10:30pm

Muziic is a great App. It is basically the Youtube app, but with continous playback. You search for any music video, Muziic takes the video from Youtube, you put them in a Playlist and they play with no gap. The App is free too.

Dman, this is an incredible app. I thank you so much

It not only lets you make your own playlist, you can listen to artists full albums, listen to featured playlist (everything in the charts now) and you can listen to albums such as best of the 80's etc by just pressing play once and letting it play right through.

One of the best apps I think there is. Some good stuff on youtube that may be hard to find elsewhere.

It's good alright, but nothing compared to the actual website. Pity it hasn't the same layout, but Apple probably wouldn't of allowed it if it did.

Im actually surprised Apple allowed it, even though it is technically legal.

Does it work with 3G only or do you need the wireless to be on?

I used the nokia orginiser a lot and never used gmail calander. Now with iphone sync'd to gmail calander I am using it way more than previously with Nokia. I does everything nokia had and way more. Dont know about setting alarms with the standard iphone calander but defo has alarms/reminders with gmail.
