If you're just keeping up with a single account, Balance works really well and I don't think it had any scary reviews.

PAID
Ocarina from Smule is ridiculous!! It's only a dollar. You Blow into the mic and use the thing like a real ocarina. You can even change the root and mode. It's even got a live mode that lets you see people playing around the world in a 'google earth' type of view, and give them props if they're good.

Chopper is a verrrry fun game in which you control a helicopter by tilting the iPhone around, rescuing civilians and taking out enemies. Highly recommended! They really reduced the price, although I dunno if it was a sale or a permanent change.

Anaconda is snake like on the old nokia phones, except more fun, some variation added. I think it's only a dollar, used to be free.


FREE
NetNewsWire is realllly cool if you use RSS. You can sync to your newsgator account which syncs to NetNewsWire on your desktop.

Loopt is cool if you're into Facebook and Twitter

Scramboni is a very fun online word-scrambling game where you compete to see who in your group can get the word the fastest.

TouchMines is an awesome minesweeper app

Trace is a fun one too. You draw a path for a little man to get across to the checkpoint. You control his direction and jumps, trying to avoid the obstacles that reset him to his starting position.

(sorry if I repeated anything. I tried not to by reading the whole thread first)

For all you Pandora, Lastfm fans

Slacker - Browse music via genre

I LOVE pandora but it seems like Slacker has a more diverse selection and its free.

Pandora was cool, but it seemed like it started just playing the same stuff over and over after a while.

Agreed. They need to add a little bit more to their selection. Nevertheless its a free app so I cant really complain.

Anyone know of an app that converts Mp3's to ringtones that cant be bought? I really want the pirates of the Caribbean Theme song to heroically play as I receive a phone call, but they don't offer it....

You can convert your audio into ringtones yourself, for free. The steps are either in this thread or the other iPhone thread. Or, there are like 400 how-tos online that will walk you through the process.

The latest version of Garage Band has an export to iPhone function. This assumes you have a Mac.

iMafia is pretty fun. It is an on going game and it is much better than iMob.

Start iTunes and find the song you want to convert. (It must be an MP3.)

Right-click the song and choose Get Info.

Click the Options tab.

Check the Start Time and Stop Time boxes, then enter times for each (no more than 30 seconds apart, the maximum length for a ringtone). I used 0:00 and 0:30, respectively, as "Spit It Out" has a perfect ascending lead-in.

Click OK, then right-click the song again and choose Create AAC Version. You should immediately see a new 30-second version of the song.

Drag that version out of iTunes and into the folder of your choice.

Delete the 30-second version from iTunes and change the Start Time/Stop Time back to the original.

Open the folder containing the 30-second AAC file you dragged out of iTunes, then change the file extension from .m4a to .m4r. Double-click it and it immediately gets added to iTunes' ringtone library.

Finally, sync your iPhone. When it's done, you can head into the settings and select your new ringtone.
