iPhone app recommendations

Tonight I was asked by a friend (who just bought an iPhone) to provide a list of recommended iPhone apps from my collection. After typing it up, I thought it would be nice to share this with everyone :)

The following apps are free unless specified.

Essential
  • Google
  • Facebook
  • Fring (IM client that also allows you to make VOIP calls)
  • Skype
  • Tweetdeck and/or Tweetie 2 (Paid app. I'm only using version 1 right now, but version 2 should be much better)
  • Discover lite (turns your phone into a wireless drive and allows reading DOC, XLS, PDF documents)
  • YouVersion Bible app
  • Logos Bible app
  • Flickr
  • UStream (turns your phone into live webcam)
  • Dictionary.com (offline dictionary)
My photography apps
  • ToyCamera (Paid app. Gives you some good lomography effects. But doesn't allow you to apply filters to existing photos in your library...which sucks)
  • Tiltshift Generator (Paid app. Makes pics look like miniatures...and gives a fake SLR effect).
  • CameraBag (Paid app. One of the most highly rated photo apps on iTunes, yet a bit overrated in my opinion :P. Allows you to apply filters to existing photos).
  • Photoshop.com mobile (Basic photo cropping/manipulation).
  • Panolab lite (Stitch photos together)
  • Free Photo Filters (4 basic filters... 2 of which I use a lot)
Other cool apps
  • Tap Tap Revenge 3 :)
  • Touch Hockey
  • Flight Control (Paid app. Classic iPhone game)
  • Kotoba! (Japanese dictionary)
  • PayPal
  • CommBank (if you are a customer)
  • Flashlight
  • Pocket Cinema (cinema sessions times and ticket ordering)
  • TyroTuner (guitar tuner)
  • Guitar Web app (guitar chord finder)
  • Pocket weather lite
  • RDP lite (to access your desktop via the RDP protocol)
  • Mars Hill Church
  • Domino's pizza
  • Whitepages
  • Shoutcast and/or Y! Music (online music streaming)
  • Google Earth
  • Motion X GPS (Paid app. But there's also a lite version with ads. An alternative to Google Maps).

Are there other apps that you would recommend?

"Remote" for iTunes users and "Trapster" for the (speed) camera fearing.
