Iphone apps....

Here is a list of some of the apps I have on my iphone....which do you have on yours and how do you like them????  These are not in any particular order - just as I see them on my phone:



My favourite app of all is the 'Geocaching' app - it works like a GPS on your phone and helps you find caches wherever you go.  We've had so much fun with this over recent months and have found all kinds of caches in our city and the surrounding area.  It was a fab intro to geocaching and we now know we enjoy this hobby enough to pay out for a real GPS unit :)  Don't underestimate this app though - it's GREAT!!!

Gratitude! - a gratitude journal on your iphone that you can update as often as you like.  There are also inspirational quotes on there too!!

Blackout - an app that turns your iphone into a flashlight.  Handy to have as I've had to use it a few times.

I Say - like having the game 'Simon' on your phone!!

Just Fillin' - a fabulous game based around bubbles and trying not to pop them - great for filling in time when you're bored in waiting rooms ;)

I-Handy Level - a spirit level on your phone - just a cute gadget to have so you can check your kitchen towel is hanging straight..... ;)

The I-Ball - turns your phone into a magic 8 ball :)

Atomic Fart - yes, this clever gadget turns your phone into a fart machine - and the kids love to switch this on at badly timed moments - Abigail used it on the train in London and the guy next to her did NOT look impressed ;)

Pac-man - the classic game on your phone ;)

Ragdoll - a game my Son loves....

Labyrinth - roll the ball through the mazes in these labyrinths....not easy!!!

Scoops - a great game where you have to catch ice cream on your cone and KEEP catching scoops of ice cream until you reach up into space :)

Kid Art - like a paint program on the phone whereby kids can draw and colour and then Email their work or save it into the photo albums.

Bug Squash - a fun game where you have to squash the fast moving bugs - and each time you do, it makes a yucky squelching noise :)  Kids love it!!

Color snap - a free program by Sherwin Williams paint.  You can take a picture of an item and then the program will tell you the exact paint colour thats closest to it - so if you like the colour of a Fall leaf, take a picture and colour match exactly ;)

Monkey Ball - another game the kids LOVE!!!

Falling Balls - help the stick man avoid the huge falling balls.

Mouth Off - this is soooo much fun.  Pick a mouth style and hold it up to your face and the mouth will move as you talk!!!  Hilarious - at Halloween there were all monsters and witches etc....or hold it in your hand and use it like a ventriliquists puppet ;)  Too funny ;)

I-Relax - a white noise machine - or soothing sounds machine - you can listen to thunder, the sea, waterfalls, piano music, all kinds of lullabies and soothing sounds.

R Racing GTI and also Fastlane - two racing games just for fun :)

AllRecipes - a great free recipe app  - I've cooked a few things from this and they have been a big hit!

Paper Toss - try and flick the rolled up balls of paper into the waste paper basket in this office style game!  Try not to annoy your colleagues by throwing the paper too near them :)

Fling - a fun little game where you have to fling the fluffy balls off the board to win.

Tap tap - a fast moving finger tapping game set to music!!!  Not easy ;)

Shazam - hear a song on the radio but don't know who it is?  Hold your phone up to the music and click on this app and it will tell you the artist and the song :)

Moron Test - a great little game to test how much of a moron you are - not easy lol but fun and annoying ;)

Shek Karting - a wonderful racing game aimed at kids - with Shrek and his friends as the drivers!!

Love Dare Reminders - romantic ideas to keep your relationship in good order :)  Based on the book 'The Love Dares' and on the movie 'Fireproof'.

Would you ever?  conversation starters and funny questions - we often use this program at the dinner table and it gets everyone laughing, eye-rolling and chatting!

Xmas Countdown - festve music and a daily countdown towards the big day ;)

Big Oven - recipe app

Crock Pot Cooking - endless recipes to use in your crockpot!!! Definitelya  GREAT app to have as you can check it at the grocery store for ingredients.

Groceries - an app where you can log your grocery shopping list and update it when you run out of things or have a special recipe to buy for....it can be changed weekly to suit your shopping needs - lots of little extras in here too.

Affirmations - daily inspiration towards a healthy, happy life - an app full of motivation for ya ;)

Love Quotes - a whole heap of quotes about love and relationships - perfect for adding to a romantic Email or little note card to be tucked in your DH's pocket......

The Mastery of Love - by Don Miguel Ruiz - wonderful daily affirmations and inspirational quotes to motivate you in your relationship!!

Halloween sounds - a fun little app for scaring children around Halloween time ;)

What would you choose?  - crazy questions with a  choice of two possible (wacky) answers.  Fun for getting conversation going or just for playing silly games with your DH and or friends and finding out more about them.

I have several more but I'm not keen on those and so I won't post them....the ones above are all fun and I'd definitely add again!!!  I have a real mix of apps so that there is something for everyone on my phone - handy for when the kids are bored or have to wait quietly somewhere.....they can be distracted by my phone happily for a while.  Doctors waiting rooms/ dentist etc etc.....even sometimes on long journeys...

What apps do YOU like???
