Finding The Best iPhone Apps
Finding the best iPhone apps may take some looking, but it can also be an adventure. You can check in regularly at tech sites like www.cnet.com to get the latest iPhone application news, or you can do a search for other people’s lists. The biggest challenge is going to be narrowing down the multitude of apps that are out there. It’s especially hard because no one else will have exactly the same combination of interests that you do. But you’ll discover some helpful ideas as you look around.
For example, in October of 2009, Don Reisinger of www.cnet.com gave an overview of what he thinks are the best iPhone apps for students. For example, math students can download an app called “Pi83 Graphing Calculator,” which turns their iPhones into something resembling a Texas Instruments graphing calculator. A program called “Evernote” helps students take text or voice notes and even photos, which they can upload for use on online study sites or their computers. That program works with both the iPhone and iPod Touch. But Reisinger’s top pick is “iStudiez Pro,” which helps students organize their assignments, study times and tests.
The App Store itself on the Apple website provides a few ways for people to discover applications that do something they need, but sometimes the site can be confusing. If accessed from the iPhone itself, there are a few categories that people can look under. But most organize apps mainly by how recent or popular they are, relying on the number of downloads and the ratings of reviewers. Unfortunately, though, this may not help someone looking for the best iPhone apps for a very specific, possibly even obscure task.
Apple has tried to supplement the main categories in its App Store by adding a page called “Apps for Everything” (www.apple.com/iphone/apps-for-everything), where it narrows things down or categorizes them differently. So it has the best iPhone apps for parenting gathered under the heading, “Apps for Moms and Dads.” There are “Apps for Going Out,” “Apps for Managing Money,” and so on. It may take some exploring, both at the online store and through other people’s lists, but most of the time you should be able to find applications that will be just what you’re looking for.
