Happy birthday

cityphonelines!!!!

Calling all iphone users.

Tell me, what apps can you not live without? Does the iphone need a battery management app like the droid does? Anything you can think of that you *use*.

Hit me.

Also: how do you change the slide to open to a password?

Thank you!!!!

ANGRY BIRDS. It's a required part of your iPhone experience.

*deep breath*

Weather: i like weatherbug the best

sports: sportacular. I keep trying other things and coming back to this one. It has the easiest interface and least crap

games: word warp, spider free, bubble shooter free, angry birds

Finding things: aroundme, imdb, find friends

Food: Epicruious, Check Please (I cannot figure out tip), All Recipes

Music: Soundhound, pandora, public radio

Media: ibooks, netflix

Utilities: LED Light, Battery Magic, PageOnce (finances)

Location/Driving: MapQuest (free turn by turn directions), AAA

App stuff: WallpapersHD, AppShopper, AppMiner

Those are the basics of what i use frequently. I have more, I've had a *lot* more, but these are the mainstays. Almost all are free or have a free version.

Yeah, ladycat gave me a list in her comments awhile back that was like yours that I used to go trolling, also a reddit thread, but the reality is that playing with my settings and the LJ app are the main things I've done so far *g*.

I've also found it helpful to sit down with friends who've had them for awhile and find out their tricks... none of which I can remember now, of course /o\.

Beta-ing this morning :D!

I've had my iphone for a bit now, but I haven't done much with it. However, this is a list of apps that I use on a regular basis.

Messengers: AIM, Windows Live Messenger.

Social Networking: Facebook, Livejournal, Google Talk, Google +, Twitter, Tumblr, foursquare.

Entertainment: Netflix, Words with Friends, Pinterest, PostSecret, Angry Birds, Hanging with Friends, Pandora!!!

Calendar (comes with phone, but I sync with my google calendar), iBooks (must have, and epub is the best format to use for reading on your phone).

That's all I can really think of at the moment, but if I come up with more, I'll let you know.

And I figured out how to do the passcode thing, but for some reason, my phone still requires me to do the slide across to unlock my main screen, then do a passcode to get into my phone. It's weird.

My latest app addition - Vlingo (allows talk to text and talk to e-mail).

Pandora, Public Radio, Home Radio (Canadian stations)
Vogue Knitting (you probably don't need that, but I use it constantly)
IMDb
ESPN ScoreCenter, Yahoo! Fantasy 11 (for fantasy football)
iP (period tracker - I have the paid version, but the free one is fine too)
banking apps for my banks
Lose It! (which I use to journal food off and on when I feel I'm eating too much junk)
7 Words (a word game) and the free version of Quarters (as in the drinking game, yes)
iBooks, OverDrive (for dlding books from library), Merriam-Webster dictionary

And my new favorite -- TurboScan. This lets you scan documents to PDF by taking photos. It's fucking amazing. I scanned 7 or 8 knitting patterns yesterday from Vogue Knitting at the library. Usually I just put the magazine on the scanner/copier there and e-mail to myself. But this I was able to do while working the circ desk and the quality is amazing. So if you ever have scanning needs (see a recipe in a mag while waiting at the dentist for example), this does the trick.
