This should be a list of apps I use for specific tasks and why I use them:
|
|
|
|
Banking
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
* [iOutbank](http://www.outbank.de/)
|
|
|
|
The free version allows access to all accounts you can reach with one ID. For me, this includes both of my accounts. What do you want more?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Birthdays
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
* [Occasions](http://handcarvedcode.com/occasions/)
|
|
|
|
Read all descriptions for apps of this kind and decided that this one is the most powerful. Notifies you of upcoming birthdays,
|
|
anniversaries or any other events from your Contacts and you can also add your own events. You can also load holidays for your
|
|
country and get notified when you can stay in bed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Messenger
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
* [Beejive](http://www.beejive.com/)
|
|
* [IM+](http://www.shapeservices.com/en/products/details.php?product=im)
|
|
|
|
I'm currently evaluating both. *Beejive* looks nicer, but *IM+* has Skype support. As I am no avid messenger, I can't tell
|
|
about stability for now.
|
|
|
|
* [OneTeam](http://www.process-one.net/en/solutions/oneteam_iphone/)
|
|
|
|
Looks like the best for Jabber/XMPP but is extremely instable if there are any connection errors. But it looks nice and
|
|
supports all kinds of XMPP-Transports.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Music
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
* [PlugPlayer](http://plugplayer.com/) (UPnP) and [Shoutcast](http://blog.shoutcast.com/2009/01/09/announcing-the-shoutcast-radio-app-for-iphone-and-ipod-touch/) (Internet Radio)
|
|
* also compared: *iMediaSuite* (UPnP)
|
|
|
|
Since *Shoutcast* is THE online directory for radio streams, there was no comparison against other apps for this.
|
|
*iMediaSuite* was already a "no go" after reading the reviews. I tried it and it crashed trying to read the contents of
|
|
my UPnP server. *PlugPlayer* however worked fine and even shows album art.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Task Management
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
* [Toodledo](http://www.toodledo.com/info/iphone.php)
|
|
* also compared: *Remember The Milk*, *Appigo ToDo*
|
|
|
|
I wanted a tasks app which syncs with some online database. I was happily using RTM for some time together with
|
|
*Gnome Do* and directly per web. When looking around for some iPhone app I realized, that both iPhone apps need
|
|
a $25/yr Pro account for the synchronization to work. As I don't use this so extensively to justify this yearly
|
|
costs, I looked for alternatives.
|
|
|
|
Toodledo almost works the same, even a touch better I think. And for the iPhone app you just pay once - without
|
|
needing a subscription at their site.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Twitter
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
* [Twittelator Pro](http://www.stone.com/Twittelator/)
|
|
* also compared: *Tweetie*, *Twitterrific Premium*, some free apps
|
|
|
|
*Twitterrific* has a nice feature-set but is too far away from the iPhone Look&Feel. *Tweetie* was hyped everywhere
|
|
as THE Twitter client for the iPhone, but compared to the recent version of *Twittelator*, it has to catch up now.
|
|
The latter one got my money because of the vast features which are all easily accessible. The automatic preview of
|
|
tweeted pictures is just icing on the cake.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Voice Dial
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
* [Fonix iSpeak](http://www.fonixspeech.com/)
|
|
* also compared: most other voice dial apps
|
|
|
|
The goal was to get a voice dial feature which doesn't send my voice or contact's names to some server for processing.
|
|
From the reviews I learned that this is a slow process and it takes several seconds until the voice is analyzed and
|
|
the results are downloaded back to the iPhone. Another goal was to have some automatic recognition which doesn't need
|
|
to be trained. Using these criteria there was only one app left: *Fonix iSpeak*. Now if they'd only add more features
|
|
like [Voice Command for Windows Mobile](http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/about-voice-command.mspx) has.
|
|
|
|
|
