MotionX GPS Drive
by MotionX™
MotionX GPS Drive is a fantastic replacement and companion app to the maps app. For $0.99 you get a fantastic GPS navigation app. One of the big short comings of the maps app is the lack of hands free navigation. This app provides great directions and voice guidance for a low yearly rate. Finding POIs is a piece of cake and you can even plan out an entire trip with multiple stops. MotionX GPS Drive is almost in a class of its own. No other app provides this amazing service at the low price point of $0.99. There are other low cost GPS navigation apps, but the majority of them are unreliable and not fun to use. Grab MotionX today. You will not be disappointed.

Camera+ is a great camera replacement app for the iPhone. You are able to apply filters, rotate photos, crop photos, add borders, and apply special effects. You can even share your photos out to Facebook, Twitter, and other social sites. For many people, Camera+ replaces the need to use the built-in camera app. This app only works with still photos, so right now you’ll want to use the stock app for video capture.

Fahrenheit - Weather and Temperature on your Home Screen
by International Travel Weather Calculator
Fahrenheit is an excellent weather replacement app. The built-in Yahoo! empowered one is not terrible, but it is not fantastic either. Fahrenheit allows you to have a current temperature weather badge on your home screen. It also gives you even more detailed info on the current conditions. There are some radars included too. Fahrenheit is only $0.99 and well worth a look. Outside the U.S., you'll want to pick up the sister app, Celsius.
