There are a few iPhone apps that I’ve been having fun with recently. Not all of these are games, but if you have any downtime I would recommend trying some of these out.
Aerial view
SkyView has quickly become one of my favorite stargazing apps and I’m not even a fan of astronomy. It’s great because you can point your iPhone at the sky and find the different dippers and where the planets are. If you’re looking for an app that proves technology is “out of this world,” look no further than SkyView.
hello tell him
With state laws cracking down on texting while driving, this is the perfect app that has been taking over more and more of my bad habits. It’s essentially like a walkie-talkie system where you hold down a button and say what you have to say, and then it’s automatically transmitted to the other person through that app. The best part? It works for both iPhone and Android users! More convenient than texting and talking on the phone, especially when you have little things to say.
8 tracks
This is a great music discovery app for several reasons. The first of these is that you can select from a variety of playlists, depending on your mood. This makes it easier, and the fact that they are all user-created will show that you can find something new that you like! Besides the app, I’ve used the website a lot, so if you like music, check it out!
GolfLogix
Note: DOES NOT APPLY FOR NON-GOLFERS. But I will write about this anyway because it is the best free app for golfers who like to play multiple courses. This app gives you the distance to the green from anywhere on the fairway or rough. However, the free version only gives you the distance to the center, while you have to pay for features for exact distances. If that doesn’t matter to you, then the free one will definitely meet your needs.
iLocate
There are multiple iLocate apps, but they are very helpful in finding locations of convenience when you need to. For example, there are them for gas stations, fast food places and even outdoor furniture outlets. Even though the iLovate apps are priced at $.99 each, you can choose from a few places you frequent and you will always be able to locate these places, no matter where you are!
A simple Google search will also help you find tons of apps (most of them free) to keep you busy for hours! Just remember that your iPhone battery is different than your laptop battery; may require charging more frequently. Stick with one app running at a time to optimize battery life.
Happy gaming!
