iPhone & iPad
- SoundHound: Preferred over Shazaam for both performance and UI. I wouldn't support Shazaam anyway on philosophical grounds. Don't sue me!
- VNC Viewer: $10 when I got it, but totally work it. It's an iPhone+iPad dual app, so that's nice. We've got VNC servers set up on all compys in the house, but we use it most with the Mac Mini connected to the TV.
- WeatherBug Elite: Very decent weather app--a steal at $1. Everything you need, none of what you don't. Used to have a huge problem with crashing, but not so much anymore. Why does the built-in weather app suck so much?
- IMDB: Always good for settling bar bets. Also does movie showtimes so you can skip Fandango or Movies or whatever other movie app.
- Flight Control: This week's Cussack move was Pushing Tin and the whole time I was like, "Pfft, I can do that."
- Plants vs. Zombies: Probably the best game ever.
- last.fm: Sadly no longer streams for free.
- mint.com: Finanical tracker and budget tool. Used to be super-light on functionality, but adds more with each update.
- 360 News: The only news app you'll ever need.
- Reeder: Syncs with Google Reader. If you don't like Google Reader, then fuck you.
- Remote: We use this to fire off our tunes from the Mac in the living room to all the AirPort Express speakers in the house. I don't understand why library sharing in the regular iPod app can't match the Remote app on performance.
- TouchTerm SSH: Gives me a nerd boner. Free when I downloaded it lo these many years ago. Neener.
- GoodReader: Makes the iPad one step closer to being a real laptop.
- Netflix, ABC, NBC apps: Durr.
- Reeder for iPad: Bigger version of the iPhone app.
