An iPhone loaded with the right apps is like an unstoppable machine. You can easily have the world at your fingertips and can do virtually anything you wanted, at anytime. Here are 5 awesome iPhone apps- from the fun to the useful.
Dragon Search One of the most powerful apps out there, Dragon Search offers a variety of handy features. Featuring voice activation (yeah that’s right- you talk to it), you can instantly search and scroll through results on Google, YouTube, Wikipedia, and Twitter. Best of all, it loads quickly- much better than opening up each individual app, or typing them in manually on Safari.
AP Mobile Hosted by the Associated Press (the news organization that most other news organizations like CNN and FOX News rely on), this is the perfect app for any news junkie. Scroll through national, world, and even local news with ease- but the best part is the news alert. Whenever a huge story breaks (something like Osama bin Laden getting captured, or the earthquake in Japan), a message is sent to your phone. Never be out of the news-loop again.
Soundhound Have you ever heard a song on the radio, on TV, or in a store and was curious about who sang it? With a simple click of a button, Soundhound can detect any song and instantly give you the name, artist, lyrics, a sample, and even a link to buy it online! It also stores all detected songs, so you can listen and download later. The perfect app for any music fan, Soundhound can quickly turn into your most used app.
Aroundme Powered by GPS positioning, Aroundme is most useful when in strange locations. All you have to do is open it up, and you can choose between mapping out the nearest restaurant, gas station, movie theater, hotel, taxis, and more! Once you choose a destination, it shows you exactly how to get there. You’ll never get stranded again with the help of Aroundme.
Catpaint Quite possibly one of the weirdest, (and most addicting), apps in the iTunes store, Catpaint is just how it sounds- painting with cats. Either take or upload a picture of your own, and you have a choice between a variety of cats to stick onto it! Rotate them, change their size and, position them so it looks like they are actually in the picture. If that doesn’t sound weird enough, the fact that you can make them shoot lasers out of their eyes should be the tipping point.
