My Essential Apps  by mattstratton

mattstratton's picks
  1. Facebook
    Facebook Kind of goes without saying, but almost anyone who does anything online these days needs access to Facebook. The official app is pretty robust, although it does come with some annoyances.
  2. Twitter
    Twitter I actually kind of dig the official Twitter app (I was a fan of Tweetie 2, which is what this is). Does a lot of what you need out of a Twitter app, and for most users, it will be more than enough.
  3. Angry Birds
    Angry Birds Obvs.
  4. Adobe Photoshop Express
    Adobe Photoshop Express There are a lot of apps for improving the photos taken by your iPhone. I like PS Express for simple adjustments, such as brightness or contrast.
  5. Instagram
    Instagram Want to make your iPhone camera pictures look cool? This app is for you. Period.
  6. MapQuest: Maps, GPS, Voice Navigation & Traffic
    MapQuest: Maps, GPS, Voice Navigation & Traffic Free turn-by-turn directions? Don't mind if I do!
  7. Kindle – Read Books, eBooks, Magazines, Newspapers & Textbooks
    Kindle – Read Books, eBooks, Magazines, Newspapers & Textbooks Maybe not essential if you don't actually buy digital books from Amazon, but the e-book reader for the Kindle is amazing (and free)!
