Must-Have iPhone Apps

I'm still new to the iPhone world and I'm still discovering many of its features. So, if you have any iOS applications to suggest, please feel free to write in the comment box!

Social Networking and Utilities


  •  Facebook for iPhone. I think every iPhone owner has this on his/her phone because it's really user-friendly and every   Facebook feature is easy to access using this application. It feels like you're just using your PC, but it's more compact. You can switch from landscape to portrait view, anytime. =)
Landscape View
  •  Facebook Messenger. Download this to easily chat with your friends. Otherwise, you can always use the Facebook app to exchange messages. 
  •  Twitter for iPhone Twitter is a fun way to connect with friends and celebrities. Twitter's best feature for me is to check on current events. Recent events, like the 6.8 earthquake that struck Dumaguete, made me value Twitter even more as it was where I got valuable information regarding the situations of nearby towns.
  •  Instagram is a photo sharing/editing application for iPhone. It's very convenient and instantly addicting. Plus, you have the option to share your pictures to Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Foursquare, etc. Thus, there's no need to upload the same picture over and over again. I just wish it supports Blogger, too. P.S. There's no way to access the pictures through a web browser, so expect that the only people who can stalk you are those in possession of iOS gadgets.
          P.S. Follow me! =)
  •  Dictionary You can use this even without Wi-Fi! It's very useful for students. =)


  •  Viber When you are connected to Wi-Fi or 3G, you can text or call anyone IN THE WORLD with the same application for free!

  •  RingMaster Apple doesn't allow using your music files as your ringtone. Using this application, you can create a ringtone based on your existing tunes and set it as your ringtone. P.S. Just read the instructions included in the application. You can also do it the easiest way and buy ringtones from the iStore. 

  •  Emoji Keyboard This is a fun app that let's you put colored emoticons and graphics to your texts, tweets, and e-mails. 

  •  Battery Doctor This is a helpful app when charging. Don't worry it has an English version. This is just the screenshot from the Apple store.
  •  Press Reader Download newspaper issues from all over the world to read them offline. Or just read the news online for free! Once you download, you also get 6 issues for free. 


PlUS! If you want to stay informed with news from the Philippines, the Philippine Daily Inquirer  gives a 14-issue free trial accessible through this application!

  •  Chikka Text Messenger Don't have load? Use this Chikka application to send texts to any mobile network using WiFi or 3G. The receiver doesn't have to have an iPhone unlike Viber.
