    I'm afraid of apps that require me to shake...I always think I will drop my phone or it will fly out of my hand.

    TweetDeck
    Flixter
    SparkPeople
    Photobucket
    TipCalculator
    i.Tv (TiVo)
    Facebook
    Shazam
    Sudoku
    Google Earth
    US Open (only through tomorrow though)

    epocrates - I'm a nurse and I use it to look up drugs if I don't have a drug book handy - not free but useful.

    Sol Free - solitare

    WMMR - local radio station

  • DH has taken control of my touch for one app, and one app only:

    Sheeplauncher.

     

    sigh...

    A big old middle finger to you, stupid Nest.
  • The only free ones I like that I haven't seen yet are:

    FrozenLexicon, TV.com, MLB.com Lite

  • I have a lot that are listed above but also:

    Parallel Kingdom - great easy to learn game that is overlayed on the real world map.  Really fun when their server isn't acting up.

    Lux Touch - Just like the risk board game where you play against 5 computers.  I've heard their paid version actually sucks.

    All Recipes - easy way to search the recipes availble on their regular website

    Sherwin Williams ColorSnap - take a picture and the app tries to match paint color with a pixel you select in a picture.

    FS5 Hockey, Mancala or Touch4 - all great and can play with DH over wifi.

    MyGov - easy listing and way to contact your reps.  Also shows current bills.  The best part though is it breaks down what funding went to what states and who championed it.

    you don't HAVE to shake your phone, it will still show up. : )

  • It's not free, maybe a dollar or two, but iSwap faces is worth EVERY penny!  You can switch faces in photos taken with your phone, like a very raw version of photoshop. It has given us ENDLESS laughs!

  • One I don't hear a lot which is cool if you have friends with iPhones is Bump.  You can send contact info (yours or someone else's) or photos to another phone simply by gently bumping the phones.

    P Tracker - period tracker.

    Bluey, you use P Tracker too.  I love it!  Dh has the companion to it on his phone.  After getting my IUD I had created my own tracker in excel but once I got the Iphone and found an app for it I had to have it.  Way easier then my spread sheet.
