So far this posting everyday thing has been quite a challenge!
To be fair, I was working since 9:30am anddidnt get home from school until 9:30pm so that doesn’t leave much time for a well thought out blog post!
I’m currently writing this post from my iPhone so I thought I’d give you a rundown of my favourite apps right now (Maybe the teens on Jeopardy could have used this post sooner!). I’ve now added in some screenshots (found on Google Images), and I checked the App Store – Boxcar is still free to download + 1 service is free. I definitely recommend grabbing that while you can!
1) Facebook
I’m really enjoying the new Facebook app, especially since the recent changes to the real Facebook interface. I rarely browse Facebook from anywhere but my iPhone anymore!
2) Tweetie2
Such a great new Twitter app. I had been using Tweetie since it first came out but the new version is great. You can check out nearby tweets and they’ve made it really easy to add attachments to your tweets.
3) Boxcar
I managed to grab this app while it (and one service) was free! Essentially it allows you to have pah notifications from certain apps that don’t allow for it. Right now I’m using it for Facebook and Twitter. It’s so nice to be able to see things when they happen. It really keeps me from checking Facebook/Twitter a million times a day.
4) Byline
I had been searching for an RSS reader for quite awhile now. I couldn’t find many people who had used one so I took the plunge and went with Byline. I’m extremely happy with it! I was easily able to import my google reader feeds and the app will download all the unread items to read while you’re offline. This is a great feature for my TTC rides in the morning! I haven’t figured out how to keep items unread(Sometimes blog posts have links I want to check out later!), but I’m able to “star” the posts and Byline keeps them in a separate folder for me.
5) Word Warp
This game has been out for quite some time now, but it’s the only one I play on a regular basis. It’s quite addicting – and free!
That’s all for now, but if you’ve read my blog in the past you’ll know that I’m quite obsessed with iPhone apps so more reviews will come!
