Paid Members Surf Digby Posted November 16, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 16, 2011 As soon as my credit runs out on my current phone, I'm hopping aboard the app bandwagon (been given a Samsung Galaxy, so figure I might as well). Absolutely no idea what I want in the way of apps. A piano roll/Cubase-ish style music sequencer would be nice, so I can twiddle about with ideas before I get chance to forget them.

Paid Members JohnnyChimpo Posted November 16, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 16, 2011 The Sky Plus app is fantastic. Syncs up with your Sky Plus box at home, and lets you record something from anywhere. Really handy for when your in work and someone tells you something is on that you would really like to see, just set it to record from your phone. Handy out.

Paid Members Bus Surfer Posted November 16, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 16, 2011 Yeah the Sky record and Sky Go apps are a must. The Wikipedia and IMDb are easy reference tools and the likes of eBay and Amazon are quick and simple for purchasing stuff. Â ESPN goals is good for footy and as an MMA fan you should get MMA junkie, MMA fighting and Middleeasy. Â As far as games go I recommend anything with Stick-man. The skateboard, BMX and diving games are simple, but addictive. Â ITV player and FilmOnPlus are great for free tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bydo Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 The 'Akinator' App is a very addictive, fun little game of twenty (or more) questions against a bank of absolutely everybody who has ever existed (It seems!)

Loki Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Most useful iPhone apps for me are: Â TuneIn Radio - tens of thousands of radio stations from around the world, mainly used to listen to cricket on R4LW. Phone Drive - allows you to use the iphone as a USB drive, though you have to have a copy of iTunes at both ends sadly. Train Tickets - portable train timetable with live updates. Slightly less useful than it used to be as they've completely rewritten it now, but still essential for rail travel. Cinema Times - as it says. ECB Cricket - live scorecard of all international cricket around the world, ball by ball. Use in conjunction with TuneIn Radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members JNLister Posted November 17, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted November 17, 2011 Strictly speaking it's not an app but rather a website (complete with specific mobile version), but TVCatchup.com is a must -- it's live feeds of most Freeview channels (or rather its about three seconds delay, which they claim means it isn't broadcasting.)
