Favorite iPhone Apps

If you really really really knew me, you would know that I:
  • am obsessed with my iPhone
  • am also obsessed with Google programs (never had nor want an Android though, weird?)
  • crave organization (neat freak)
  • love trying new things
With all these characteristics, I would say I have a good choice in apps (although I'm very picky with my apps) on my iPhone for organization and daily life. So, I just wanted to share a few of my favorites with y'all! Hopefully you try one out :) Anyway, here are the three screenshots I'll be referring to:
Everyday Notes & Tomorrow HD
Third app on the bottom/main bar and second app in Daily category. Everyday Notes and Tomorrow HD go hand in hand and are made by the same company. They both have three of the aspects I love in an app: simplicity, organization, and available syncing with Google (of course). Everyday Notes is a minimalist app that syncs my Google Calendar events and tasks (from Tomorrow HD) and brings them both together in a clean "everyday notebook" style app. In this app, I can also easily add tasks, events, and notes (notes don't sync, but who cares?). Tomorrow HD is the task portion of Everyday Notes, but as a separate app (and web app) that syncs with Google tasks as well. Honestly, you don't really need the Tomorrow HD app on your phone if you have the Everyday Notes app but some people might only want the tasks. Don't ask me why I have both lol. I love them because they have everything I want and nothing extra... nothing. You do have to pay for the Google sync but I think it's worth it because very very few apps sync with Google Tasks and Calendar at the same time and these do the job well.
TV Guide
Last app in Utilities category. Don't you hate having a billion shows to watch but end up getting caught up in other things so you forget to watch them? Don't you hate seeing a commercial for something you want to watch but forgetting when it comes on and never getting to see it? Well, this app works wonders. TV Guide basically is your personal channel guide and schedule (organizing!). It will give you all the channels, shows, and showtimes according to your television network. You can add shows to your favorites, set alarms for shows, and learn about new shows. You might be thinking that you can do that on your TV already.. but what if you're not home when you see something that interests you? or what if your television isn't on? I love this app! I'm not so good at keeping track of time.. and days.. and things like that so it's perfect for me.
Feedly
Third app in Daily category. Feedly is perfect for my fellow bloggers! We all have blogs we follow and love to read regularly but hate having to individually click on each website to read a post. Feedly, which has a wonderful web app as well, allows you to add all your RSS feeds into one place and creates a magazine style "reading agenda" just for you. You can save posts for later, share posts on social network, and change your theme. The app is beautiful! It organizes (told you I crave it) everything so well and also syncs with Google Reader (yay!). One of the other things I love about this app is that I also use it regularly on my laptop. Both the phone and web app make my blog-reading so much more convenient and simple.
Other Favorites: Songza, Pinterest, Springpad, and iA Writer. Check these out!

P.S. I did receive my new e.l.f. order with the correct items! They even came faster than my first order :) Problem(s) solved and customer service worked fine for me.

  1. I am right there with you on the iPhone obsession, lol! I don't think I've heard about any of these apps you mentioned either, so I'll definitely have to check them out. TV guide sounds like a good one too download too, since it'll go perfectly with my favorite app DISH Remote Access. I can use that app to view my guide and schedule/mange my DVR away from home. Since my coworker at DISH also got me a Sling Adapter not too long ago, I can also use the app to watch all of my favorite shows from home, live or recorded, anywhere I go in the world. I'd consider myself a TV junkie, so it's definitely nice to have when I want to catch up with my favorites while on the go. :)

  2. With all the smart phone apps out there, you would think I'd be more into it. I want to make more use of my phone, so thanks for the recommendations. I have one of the biggest phones on the market now (The galaxy note) and all I do is text, email, tweet, instagram, Facebook, talk, and put things into my calender. I feel like something is missing Lol SMH You make me miss my iPhone though!
