I am in love with my iPhone! Â I have fun scrolling through the various apps to see what might be entertaining or useful for me. Â I thought I would share my current favorites with you, and I would love to hear about your favorites too!
WORDS WITH FRIENDS:
This is a super fun game where you can play with other iPhone users. Â I currently play with my husband and my good friend Andrea. Â It is like a scrabble game that you can play across the miles! Â There is a free version and also a paid version (I think it’s $1.99). Â You can play with users you know by searching their user name, or you can choose a random opponent. Â It is quite addictive! Â If you happen to play this, look me up – my user name is “speedyjen”
RED LASER:
This is a really neat app. If you like to find good deals while shopping (and who doesn’t right?), this is a must have app. Â It is a universal bar code scanner. Â You just use the scanner on your iphone, scan the barcode of a product you are looking at in the store, and it will pull up the same product at nearby stores and list the prices. Â You just might find that must-have product cheaper somewhere else! This app costs .99
SCANNER 911:
When my husband worked the graveyard shift, I remember listening to the scanner constantly. It was scary at times, but also very interesting. I was thrilled when I discovered that there is a scanner app for the iPhone! Â You can listen to live action across the U.S. There are quite a few cities listed, broken down by state. Â Check it out to see if cities near you are on the list – it is quite informative! Â This app costs $1.99
TMZ:
I like to know what is going on in the celebrity world, and the TMZ app has the latest news and information. Â I find myself checking in daily just to keep abreast of recent news in Hollywood. Â There are videos you can watch too, as well as a photo section. This app is free.
PHOTOGENE:
When I take pictures on my iPhone, sometimes I want to crop them and/or decorate them a bit. Photogene makes it super easy to do this. Â Simply load an existing picture, or snap a new one. Â You can crop, add frames, speech bubbles and more. I also like how you can find tune the colors, blur a photo, and add other special effects. App costs $1.99 but is so worth it to me.
All of the above apps can be found at the itunes store!
I am always on the lookout for fun and useful apps. Â What are your favorite apps?

I just want to cry because I don't have an iphone!
Yep, me neither! Don't think I am going there anytime soon…
Look for a scrabble game soon from the username PsycoliciousMe 😉
YAY SCRABBLE!
There are so many different apps that it's so hard to choose my favorites…
Two are definitely Sudoku and Mancala, though!

i love my iphone, but i don't really play games on it. I have lots of things like Urbanspoon or daily quotes
I'm totally in iPod Touch app zone! I'm looking for a good single player word game. Any suggestions?
I'm following your lead Jennifer, I hope you don't mind.

And I'm addicted to Coin Dozer. lol
Both were free apps for me.
Unfortunately, I don't have a smart phone, so I don't have any apps. I didn't know that TMZ has an app; I read their site on my PC. Good to know!
I am totally addicted to my iphone – I have no idea how I did business before I had it! Absolutely awesome. I did a post on my Top Ten iPhone Apps for Party Plan Consultants – http://thepartyplancoach.com/2010/02/top-ten-tuesday-freeiphone-apps-for-party-plan-divas/

I am lelandsmama on Words with Friends. Add me! Also, there is a free version of the barcode scanner things. I am spacing on the name of it though.
I like pretty much the same ones you do, but add to those puzzle games like Bejeweled, QBeez & Fling.
And of course, I have to have TweetDeck on my phone!! 🙂
