    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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 26 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,,,,,?

    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,516 ✭✭✭irish1967


    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!!

    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

    World facts - facts about...the world!
    TodayFM - sometimes people send me texts "todayfm" which means I'm supposed to find a radio and tune in to hear some song that is supposed to mean the world to me. It sometimes does in fairness...at least i don't have to find a radio now to hear it
    WFM2009 - a footie manager game that i haven't got around to playing yet

    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.

    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?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9 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.

    Cool stuff J-blk, is it any good? Have you used it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,906 ✭✭✭J-blk


    Cool stuff J-blk, is it any good? Have you used it?

    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?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,589 ✭✭✭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 :D...
