There are over 60,000 iPhone apps available today. That’s an awful lot of sifting through user reviews to determine which are worth your time and money. Check out CowBoom’s top 19. We decided to leave #20 up to you! Comment on this post and let us know what app you think should take the spot.
1. Mint – An excellent free way to manage your money on the go. Check your balances, chart your budget and track your investments and more.
2. iConcertCal – Attention live music fans: Never miss your favorite artists play again! A $2.99 download is well worth the features loaded up on this
app including a sync of your entire music library to keep you up to date on your favorite artists upcoming shows in your area.
3. Lose It – A simple free way to plan for a healthy lifestyle with daily calorie tracking and exercise planning. Stick to that New Year’s Resolution once and for all.
4. Tweetie 2 – Although there are many ways to tweet, Tweetie 2 is the popular vote here at CowBoom. The award winning app has several features that make it worth the $2.99 you’ll pay such as offline support and a restoration feature which never bumps you out of tweeting when you receive a call.
5. Facebook – Long live Facebook! Easy free access to keep you connected wherever you may be.
6. Words with Friends – This “addictive” social gaming app connects friends, family or random opponents for a game of scrabble, web 2.0 style. It’s free with a few advertisements in between or $2.99 without. According to the peeps at CowBoom, like Jack in Marketing, the free app does the job just fine!
7. Yelp – We love, love, love the convenience of Yelp’s free app. Find what you need fast whether it’s a new restaurant or dentist referral. Gotta love the help of Yelp! This is definitly one of my faves!
8. Bing – A free app that gets you what you want and where you need to go with cool features such as voice activation. Check out its mapping feature, said to be better than Google Maps!
