iOS apps

iPad, iPod Touch, iPhone

(Most apps are supported on *all* three of the above devices, unless otherwise specified)

 

Here's some Apple apps that I have on my device that I find useful.

Most of them are free.

Will add as I go along, and contributions to this thread are welcome:

Travelling/On-the-go

 

OpenMaps

Here's a scenario: You're travelling, there's no wireless signal and therefore iPhone Maps does not work.

Want your map to be saved on your iPhone/iPod so that you can bring it along with you in the future?

Not only is this a mapping application; it also lets you download the map tiles for future viewing.

Price: Free

 

The unique:

 

iHandy Level

You've seen this in your dad's toolbox. It's a virtual spirit level tool - carpenters use it to measure whether a surface is truly level, or slanted compared to the horizon. This tool is now available on the iPhone/iPod and it works just like the real thing.

Price: Free.

Notes: The full version adds more measurement tools, such as a spirit level that measures X, Y and even Z axis. Includes a protractor too, and more

 

Night Stand

Bored of the built-in iPhone/iPod touch clock? Need a really loud alarm clock? How about a laptimer? This is the app for you. I give it 2 thumbs up for the stunning and realistic clock designs. Also displays current weather for the city that you're in.

Price: Free (only one clock design)

Notes: The full version ($0.99) includes many more clock designs.

 

 

The productive:

 

Office² Plus

Office-squared Plus lets you view MS Office files (Excel, PowerPoint, Word), and PDF files as well

Price: Free

Notes: The full version ($5.99) lets you view, and also edit MS Office files.

 

SeizeTheDay

Are you an organized person that always jots down daily tasks on notepad but forgets to do them afterwards? Get organized with SeizeTheDay electronic task organizer. You type out the tasks that you wan to do, when the task is due (date), and you can even choose when you would like this app to alert you when the due date is near.

Price: Free

 

 

The Media Players

 

VLC Player (for iOS)

 

http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/5096/fromphixrf.jpg

NOTE: Due to conflict of interest between the person that developed this app, and the Apple App Store guidelines, this application is no longer available online.

The world's most popular play-any-kind-of-video-format media player now comes to the iPhone and iPod touch. Got a video that your iPhone/iPod refuses to play? This is your answer!

Price: Free

 

Video Stream

 

http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/4746/fromphixrl.jpg

Streams your own media to your i-Device. In other words it pulls off videos from your favorite computer, and lets you watch it on your iPhone/iPod Touch.

Price: Free

 

 

 

Internet

 

Tapatalk

Browse all your chosen forums (including SBF) into one screen. It's super fast.

Not only that, this app is good for those that can't view your favorite Forum or Discussion Board on your phone's internet browser.

 

Utilities

 

Find My iPhone

 

http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/5134/fromphixrs.jpg

Does what it says. Your iPhone can report its location back to you if you've lost it (via MobileMe). Also gives you the option to remotely display a message to someone who happens to pick it up, or to command your lost iPhone to perform a full erasure of everything in it.

 

 

Singaporean apps

 

POSB (for iOS)

 

http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/9355/fromphixrz.jpg

Lets you access your bank account on the go.

Price: Free

Note: You still need the iBanking keychain token to use this software.
