What attracted me to it was its beautiful icon, but soon I realized there was more. Relatively simple UI which is unique because many timer apps abandon the familiar interface of the default camera application in favor or something that leaves me fumbling to shoot a photo.
I recently came across OffMaps which a short time ago got a massive update to version 2. It is a pretty simple and yet informative application that lets you download maps, transportation routes, and even wikipedia information onto your iPhone so you never need to go online again!
It is a basic solar toolkit for calculations and conversions that will help you decide if solar panels will benefit your personal situation.
Today the application is Notekeeper and it performs one very basic yet helpful task, logging the location of notes you take. While this may hold little significance to some, the few that run around cities may find it abundantly helpful when trying to sort your daily life.
Have you ever been frustrated with the fact that iOS’s default Calendar application doesn’t have a week view? Look no further, for the small price of $1.99 you can add this functionality to your iPhone! Worried about it not interacting with your current synced services such as MobileMe or Google Sync? Don’t worry, it also utilizes your already syncing calendars. A new API in iOS 4 has the ability for third party applications to access native calendar data. The application is pretty basic, it provides a very minimalist week long calendar and offers very few settings to choose from.
It has long been rumored that the days of the standalone GPS unit for ones car were numbered, but the final nail is in the coffin and the sole reason is because the solution is free. No, I am not talking about Google’s free Navigation application for their Android phones, I am talking about a free application for all iPhones with GPS called Skobbler. Not without its quirks, Skobbler uses open-source mapping technologie called the OpenStreetMap Project and overlays turn-by-turn directions onto your iPhone.

Recently I discovered Geotagging, this amazing feature that allows a user to display on a map, in iPhoto, Aperture, or Flickr, exactly where [...]
When it comes to useful iPhone applications that are for hard work and productivity, this one is not one of them. What it is perfect for is parties and family reunions where you can be less amusing and just whip our your brand new iPhone 4 to take funny pictures of people. Basically it is [...]
Since I purchased a new iPhone 4, which is on its way, I made a checklist of applications and online services that I will need. One of those is photo uploading and sharing which put me in a tough spot, Flickr or MobileMe? I opted for Flickr because I have had an account for years and lots of my friends have accounts. Next came the task of what application to load onto my new iPhone. The official Flickr application is pretty weak on features and lacking beautiful UI, more of an application for once-a-month Flickr users unlike me.
Essentially what this application does is provide push-notifications and a playback application for Google voicemails, by forwarding your voicemail notifications to a secret email provided by the company. It works incredibly well and I rely on it for my day-to-day use of my office number. I give it my full backing!
