    I have a serious app addiction and Photogram is easily one of my most favorite apps. It’s simple to use, people love getting them and the best thing is the art: unique, stylish, fun and lots of options, even if you choose not to buy extra themes.

    It seems that Stanza has been fixed for iOS5.x but that folks with prior iOS to 5 say that the fixed version is broken on iOS4.x so don’t update if you haven’t upgraded the iOS. Bluefire reader is an adequate, if not compete, alternative to Stanza.

    I am new to the iDevices. I am very frustrated that a basic function seems to be a closely guarded government secret — that is 1) how do you temporarily delete an app to make room on an iDevice and 2) how do you permanently delete an app that really sucks and you never want to see it again?
    The iDevice storage is limited, and I am always up to trying new things. But even Apple couldn’t, or wouldn’t, be straightforward with the delete question.

    I have a great addition to the Utilities list, a free app called AppAlerts. It push notifies you when a new iPhone app is released matching your specific keywords. Just add keywords for the type of apps you’re interested in and you’ll be notified as soon as a new app is released.

    I stumbled on TapNotify (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tap-notify/id519524126?mt=8) and have found this free app to be really handy. The gist is it makes it a one tap thing to send your location by text or email along with a pre-set message (buttons you can customize). Stuff like “I just landed.” or “I’ve arrived safely”. My teenager has it on her phone now – one less excuse for not letting me know she’s safely arrived.

Powerful search with filters and allows you to be notified when Apps you want go on sale (or free)… Dont get “AppZapp”… Get their other app “AppZappPush”.. It comes with free push notifications instead of having the option to buy it… Same app otherwise as far as I can tell.

    Check out Zello PTT walkie talkie. Hands down, the best Push to Talk app. IMO, way better than Voxer, Heytell, TikL. Easy to install and use. Runs cross platform on IPhone, IPod, Android, Blackberry AND PCs. Uses little memory and reliable. Runs 3G and Wi-Fi. Instant talk, real-time. Message history, push notifications, delete acct function, world wide access, exceptional sound quality, no ads, no spam, and best of all ….Free.

    But the most fun feature is the channel feature which allows anybody to create their own personal chat channel (private or public), supports up to 100 subscribers at a time to chat on the channel, unlimited subscribers. So it’s great for small groups or big organizations, people with common interests or just general chats with people from all over the world. Check out the Zello website. It’s been on Android a few years, but just came out on IPhone March 31, 2012, and is already the #1 or 2 social app in Spain, Argentina, Mexico, Uruguay, Lebanon, Brazil, Israel. Think Twitter but with voice, that’s kinda what it’s like. Faster than texting.

    I recommend PowerCam and Panorama,as they are my favorite camera apps. Panoramic photo is any wide-angle view (from 90 to 360 degree) or representation of a physical space. Seeing panoramic photo, people will feel like standing in front of the magnificent view. Panorama available in my iPhone makes taking panoramic photos simple.

    it’s main purpose is live video broadcasting, but you can do lots of related stuff with it:
    - Post the live broadcast to facebook, twitter link
    - Email the broadcast directly to someone (either a few seconds after the broadcaster started or after you are done)
    - Draw(!) on top of the live video
    - Broadcast a web page, or an image as part of your video broadcast
    - You can also look for live and VOD broadcasts on a Map, and directly navigate there with some navigators.
