New hens not going into Eglu Go Up

[Redwing]

I am a phone numpty and have no idea what I can use this phone for beyond music, movies and bubble wrap popping

 

What is your iphone 'must have' app please?

[MarkBevBen]

I haven't got one yet Redwing, apparently I can have one with my contract in February. My hubby has one and I must admit I like to use it whilst we're out and about for the internet - even coming on here too!

 

Hubby's iphone has a kind of 'sat nav' thing, which has certainly helped us out when we've been a bit lost trying to find places!

[The Dogmother]

not one that I can answer as I only use mine for phoning.

 

Don't leave this one in the glovebox though!

[kitbag]

Doodle jump!! Best app ever!

[Christian]

Go to the apps store and do a search for -

 

Sleeps til Christmas lite - funky elf who counts down the days!

emoji free - for cute pictures to send with texts

Free wifi finder

Harbour master lite - very addictive game!

Opera mini - a different browser if Safari is playing up.

Pic2shop - you can scan bar codes and it will tell you where the cheapest shop is that sells the item!

 

All of the above are free, I refuse to pay extra for them!

 

Happy playing with your new phone. It took me a while to change from Nokia, but I love it now!

[jam]

Doodle find and doodle kart are my two favourite ones atm- and theyre free!

[debbier]

bubble wrap popping

 

What more can you possibly want?

[C&T]

Is it the right thickness to go under the dining room table leg to stop it wobbling????

 

Sorry.... I haven't caught up with the 21st century yet. Don't even have a facebook account.... My mobile is "functional" - i.e. small, can make/receive calls and texts - not even any pictures!

 

Have fun playing though!

[Cinnamon]

Angry birds - I have it on my Android phone...hysterical

Plane Finder - lets you see which planes are flying over & where they are going.

Google sky map - may not be available for iphone

Ocado online

Oi shopping list - invaluable,use it every single day

A decent calendar - I use Google again & it synchs with my computers.

Barcode scanner - great fun while shopping.

Kindle for iphone ap - wouldn't be without it.

[Snowy]

Smacktalk! Free and hilarious - talk to the guinea pig and it repeats what you say in an Alvin and the Chipmunks voice. Has me and the boys in hysterics every time

Planets - free. Names the stars you can see at that particular time of day and various other things (OH won't let me play so I haven't explored it fully yet )

[Olly]

Ocado - free

Amazon

Facebook, if you use it

Tube Deluxe if you live/work in London, gives you the departure times, status updates etc

Tube Exits - where to sit on the train so you're in the right place

PS Express, fabulous and FREE! lets you edit your photos and do fun things with them

National Trust, also free

Shazam - identify songs you hear on the radio, the free version has limited use though

 

Actually, the first thing I'd download is iPhone Academy, teaches you all sorts of tips and tricks and it helped me enormously when I first got mine!

[Space Chick]

Scrabble and tris are both great for passing time

 

Well done Tasha, you won't regret it

[Goosey Lucy]

Alchemy. Hubby had it for his android. It's free

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/alchemy/id376205543?mt=8

 

He became totally addicted (and so did I )

[PurpleTree]

The Facebook app and Echofon - Twitter app, I use all the time. I've really got into Twitter since getting my iPhone. I use the camera lots on mine and use camerabag and quadcam to make them more interesting. Hubby has taken some really fab photos on his. I quite often take a pic then email it straight to hubby so he can see what we're up to.

 

Game wise, I like wordy ones like Scrabble. There's a chicken one called Chicktionary which is fun. If you set up Games Centre you can make friends with other people you know with it and challenge at certain games that you both own. Flight Control and Pacman are two good ones on that.

 

I use the iPod a lot on mine too as you don't headphones and it plays quite loud.

 

I've downloaded quite a few free books into the iBooks app too, means you've always got a book with you.

[Redwing]

Thank you everyone, lots of good things there most of which I now have on my iphone

 

The winner has to be Smacktalk though, absolutely hilarious and had us both in fits of laughter especially when we got the dog to bark in to it - all our laughs were repeated back to us too making us even more hysterical

 

I also have an app called Picknchickn which helps you select the right chicken breed for you with a pic of each breed and details of egg colour, temprement etc..

Invaluable!

[chick wiggle]

Thanks Tash, a few apps there i have downloaded. But...picknchickn??? when i search for that all i get is pignchicken!

I think your having me on!

[stoice]

I'm addicted to geo-defense and geo-defense swarm (US spelling)

Angry birds is frustrating as it now says i have go back and three stars on every game and it feels impossible to complete. Scrabble is a must and a chicken word game called chicktionary is pretty fun too.

Also loved a pinball type game called peggle and my OH loves space cows.

Love the fact that the game are a fraction of the price of some games console yet still provide hours of entertainment.

[Cinnamon]

Jewellust is good too

[Jennifer Jane]

Angry birds - I have it on my Android phone...hysterical

 

I have a new android phone and my brother in law told me about this at a family wedding recently (ok, I had had a drink or two).

 

Anyway I googled it and got some dodgy websites . Told bil about this next time I saw him - turns out I had misremembered and googled "crazy" instead of "angry". No wonder...

 

Despite working in IT for many years, I am not very technical, so am going back to the shop tomorrow to find out exactly what I can do with my new toy.

[HappyhenSG]

Labyrinth Lite - OH has this on his and it's really addictive

[Cinnamon]

Oh yes,I got suckered into Labyrinth too.

Finished it now though

[Snowy]

Woohoo! Mine has just arrived!

Am I going to get anything done today?

[Tiggy]

I have sat nav on mine, its great, takes a lot of juice out of it though, but I have an in- car charger that also acts as the cradle & hands free

[Olly]

Ah, Tiggy I was going to ask this question - which one, do you have TomTom?

I really want to get a sat-nav as my other one has 'died', and part of the justification for getting the iPhone was that then I wouldn't have to pay out for a separate sat-nav. It's an expensive app (in comparison with most of them) and I want to make sure I get the right one. Do you need a separate GPS receiver?
