iCademy by daemgen.net is an “iPhone tips, tricks, and manuals” app. I know that most of our readers are already iPhone experts, but some of us could always use a few pointers. Sure, there was a lot I already knew, but I definitely learned a few things from iCademy. Best of all, this app is free.
You never know when life’s most interesting moments will happen, but even if you don’t have your camera, you usually have the iPhone’s camera to capture them. These apps can help you make the most of those moments, to photograph them, edit them, and share them.
Just in case you missed the last one, here is another chance to win a promo code for the fantastic photography app, ClearCam. Read our review here. I have 20 more promo codes to give away, in honor of the all-new and improved AppList, Photographer’s Kit.
For every hobby you may enjoy, there are apps to help you get the most out of your leisure time. Whether you go for outdoor pursuits such as hiking, biking, hunting, stargazing, boating, golfing, birding, and skiing; or indoor hobbies such as knitting, reading, cooking, art, music and more, read on to discover apps that can enhance your experience.
As cell phone cameras continue to improve, we become more and more dependent on them to capture life’s moments. The iPhone has a pretty decent native camera, but there is a lot of room for improvement. There are plenty of apps to edit and improve iPhone photos, but how about just increasing the quality of the photo itself? Is it possible to increase megapixels so that you can blow up and frame the shots you get with your iPhone? ClearCam can help.
Your iPhone can help you to be a more efficient and organized parent. Get a great dinner on the table faster, know what’s coming from the sky and the television, fix your car, find a bathroom, make board games more fun, skip the voice mail runaround, shop smarter, read a book, make weekend plans, get to know your kids, and sleep better tonight!
For kids who have outgrown kiddie apps but aren’t quite ready for hard-core teen/adult gaming, these games are just plain fun. Most of these apps offer a free, lite version as well, so there’s no reason not to try them out and see if the full versions will be worthwhile.
Do you love your iPhone but hate the lousy reception in your home? Frustrated by having to step outside to make or take phone calls? A new device from AT&T may solve this troubling issue for you.
What’s for dinner? Your iDevice is quite a handy tool for answering that question. There are many apps to help you be at your best in the kitchen. Read on to learn about some of our favorites.
No, your iPhone won’t go to the gym in your stead, but it can do some of the work of getting in shape for you. From customized workouts (at home or in the gym) to healthy meal planning (whether you’re cooking or dining out), there is an app to help with every aspect of creating a healthier lifestyle.
Who says you need an expensive editing program on your computer to do amazing things to your photos? Think again. Not your garden variety editing apps, you won’t find cropping, rotation, flash, or blemish removal here. This is the fun stuff.
These are not apps you’ll use every day. However, it’s a good idea to have some of them on your iPhone for when the unexpected happens. Even better, familiarize yourself with their content in your leisure time so you can meet any emergency situation with confidence.
All of the following apps will allow you to get movie listings by theater or by movie. You get a description of the movie, rating, and length. You can map the movie theater of your choice. Each of the following has slightly different additional features, and you’ll need to decide which is most important to you in order to decide which app to keep on your iPhone. They are all free, so why not try out a couple and see which you like the best?
No shooting, blood, guts, or gore. Just casual, enjoyable games for adults who don’t consider themselves serious gamers. Some challenge your mind; others are totally mindless. Some you can play with a friend, either in real life or online; while others you play just by yourself.
