My favorite iPhone/iPad apps
Being the tech geek that I am, I’m always asked what my favorite iPhone/iPad apps are, so here goes, in order of favoritism:
- Dropbox - absolutely amazing free app with 2GB of storage for syncing files between your desktop/iPhone/iPad/web. I use it every day. Simply amazing.
- Netflix - gotta love all the free streaming online. I actually like the video quality on the iPad better than on my computer.
- Evernote - great app for syncing notes (work/personal/etc) between all my devices - similar to dropbox, but just for notes/pics/audio.
- Pandora - can’t live without this one. Streaming music to my devices, and it plays through my car’s bluetooth audio connection. Awesome music, just the right tunes, and well worth paying for the pro subscription.
- Tripit - as a seasoned traveler, I don’t know how I lived without this app. Install it and start forwarding your booking confirmation emails from airlines, hotels, rental cars, etc and it automatically forms an itinerary for you. Awesome!
- TweetDeck - saves me tons of time by unifying all of my social media channels into one app/one view.
- Flipboard - makes reading my social network stream like reading a newspaper. I actually prefer this to the native websites for Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn.
- WSJ - now you gotta love wsj.com’s news, but their news app is simply the best.
- Facetime - get it, use it, love it. On it all the time, and it’s changing my communication method big time, even more than skype did.
- Flixster - for the movie addict in all of us. It gives the best view of movie showtimes, reviews and theaters, and is fully integrated with the best review site on the planet, www.rottentomatoes.com.
That’s it for now - I’ll keep it coming as more apps come out!
