Open table also sounds fabulous and I am going to have to try that one out. Thanks for sharing all these great apps!

I have a few to suggest as additions below! Most of them are free as I'm not a fan of paying for apps.<br /><br />Flixster is awesome to find movie theaters nearby, what movies are playing, and the times of the movies.<br /><br />Goodreads.com is a great website if you haven't checked it out yet. There's an app available that puts books, book reviews, and more right at your fingertips!<br /><br />If you use Netflix, you can download the Netflix app and watch movies right on your phone using the live streaming option!<br /><br />If you're a Kindle user but like me, you don't take your Kindle EVERYWHERE, download the Kindle app. It will automatically sync with your Kindle so you can pick up where you left off.<br /><br />Overdrive is great if you have a local library that uses it. I download my audiobooks using this app.<br /><br />Redbox is also great! You can reserve movies at your nearest Redbox right from your phone!<br /><br />Trip Advisor has a free app which is great for when you travel. You can conveniently look up reviews and suggestions of things to do.<br /><br />Keeper is a password keeper. I don't know about you but I have TONS of passwords to keep track of and this is an invaluable tool to do just that.<br /><br />Finally, I'm an avid user of Facebook and use my Facebook app on my phone almost as much as I access FB online!Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17774893405138604629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-47822060542455164332011-01-09T10:11:39.307-05:002011-01-09T10:11:39.307-05:00I'm an "i"-free person, but many of ...I'm an "i"-free person, but many of these apps are also available for the BlackBerry.Beth Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627666337961326265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-55365310671232258422011-01-08T23:39:17.260-05:002011-01-08T23:39:17.260-05:00Oh yes...

I'm playing the free version of Cut the Rope and it's fun too! <br /><br />I'm also using WhatsApp for free texting and Viber for free calls, both can be used globally.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623394887320093229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-7270470642821176682011-01-08T19:33:12.779-05:002011-01-08T19:33:12.779-05:00I have a shortcut to Epicurious on this (non-apple...I have a shortcut to Epicurious on this (non-apple) machine and can attest to its value as a solution to the "I'm bored and need to make something from the stuff currently rotting in the refrigerator" blues.dshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07616750784052488695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-91921947611276096502011-01-08T16:38:13.884-05:002011-01-08T16:38:13.884-05:00I'm afraid I'm apple free, but my husband ...I'm afraid I'm apple free, but my husband is always playing angry birds on his phone - it annoys me so much!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698068501004755678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-19039386172418221692011-01-08T15:03:42.832-05:002011-01-08T15:03:42.832-05:00I love Accuweather!

It gives you the temperature, plus what it feels like outside based on wind, sunshine, etc. That's a big deal in high altitudes where the temp can drop ten degrees if the sun goes behind a cloud. <br /><br />I agree with you on the Epicurious app, which is great, but my favorite restaurant-finding app is Urban Spoon. Search by cuisine type, neighbood, location, price, or have it pick one randomly. Hello Vino is an excellent app for finding good wine. For readers, there's the Goodreads app. Then there's Kayak, which lets you search the entire web for deals on flights, hotels, etc. <br /><br />Walgreens has a very convenient app that lets you refill prescriptions from your phone. For art lovers, I am absolutely in awe of the Yours, Vincent app, which has all of Vincent Van Gogh's letters searchable by topic or time period.<br /><br />Finally, I honestly don't think I would be able to live without the AmbiSci app. Put it on deep sleep mode and I'm out in about five minutes (usually).Heidenkindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09494625457587427781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-8853378026309954932011-01-08T12:02:29.752-05:002011-01-08T12:02:29.752-05:00I love iPhone apps!

My kids (and husband) are addicted to Angry Birds, we've used Open Table, and I have ParkIt (doesn't do so well in parking garages, unfortunately).<br /><br />Keep those app recommendations coming ...

Goodbye GPS! I don't know how I ever found anything before.<br /><br />You probably already know about this, but my latest discovery is ChaCha.
