What are your favorite apps and iPhone features?
So I've finally got with the times and bought an iPhone5 (I was previously using a very unsmart phone, lol). I would love recommendations on good apps or any tips/tricks on features! So far, I've added instragram and Kindle.
Thank you kindly!

I don't know what the camera app is like on the iPhone 5, but for the iPhone 4s, there are camera apps that are available in the app store which are superior to the one that comes with the phone.

I have camera+ It's definitely better than using the one already on the phone... I got it after a suggestion here in the forum. Most of the apps I have are for my kids! I do like having a flashlight app, and I also use geoQpons quite a bit. I love Pandora, but I'm careful when I will use it because I don't have unlimited data.

Voxer (seriously this is so fun) Shazam MyFitnessPal (calorie tracker) colornote (list maker) paypal alarm clock xtreme free (idk how the alarm clock is on the iphone, but the one on my phone stinks) Groupon Netflix Redbox Scramble with Friends Words with Friends plus, my local bank has an app which I find really great for being able to do mobile banking. I even deposited a check last week without having to actually go into the bank.

Spotify for music.
My Fitness Pal for calorie tracking. Map My Run for run (bwahahahaha!) I mean WALK tracking. The Weather Channel b/c my class asks me EVERY day what the temp is and if they need jackets. Evernote to keep my CT to-dos, grocery lists, menus, and Christmas lists. Pinterest for obvious reasons. Foursquare because a former coworker and me have contests on who has the most mayorships. Camera+ for picture taking. Instagram for picture taking. I love the new map app that came with the last upgrade. Tiny Tower because I'm addicted to building my tower. Etsy for when I'm bored. PinkPad to keep track of my cycles. Zillow so I can make sure my house is still for sale and if it sells so I can find another house to dream of. Sports Center to get updates on Notre Dame football games if/when I'm not watching. Flixster for the rare occasion I need to find a movie to go to. Facebook/Facebook Messenger for the obvious. I also love that the camera app it comes with has a panoramic function.

Bumping this back up!
Plus I found a new app I use ALL the time called Cardstar - you scan in all your VIP/Rewards/Points cards that you use at the grocery store, pet store, pharmacy, etc. Then you just show your phone to be scanned at the store.

I have an Android phone, but everything I have is probably available for iphone, too.
My favorites: Out of Milk Pro-shopping and to do lists (basic version is free and also good) Kindle Audible-audiobooks Calorie Counter Pro by My Net Diary-calorie and activity tracker (not a memory hog, which is why I can't use My Fitness Pal) Goodreads mSecure-keeps passwords and other confidential info Camera Zoom FX-don't know how this compares to other camera apps, but it's better than my camera's default camera

I use DataVault for passwords, storing credit card numbers, etc. I can't remember how much it cost but there are iPad and desktop applications as well, and they all sync with each other wirelessly. It has been really nice. It will generate passwords for you as well.

Okay, I recently got my first iphone as well, so I def need drop box and a few camera apps. One of the reasons I got it was to hopefully take more photos.
