Thanks Neil.

There’s such a bewildering number of apps now, it’s great to get personal recommendations. I’ll certainly try some of these.

Apps I can recommend are:

- Stanza for ebooks
- Say What for social media monitoring
- limited audience, but if you live in Edinburgh and use the buses, the Lothian Bus tracker app is very good
- astronomy apps…Sky Voyager is brilliant apparently (the boyfriend is a keen astronomer) but it’s not cheap
- don’t have time to play games (:-)) but I do very much like my Drummer drum kit!

[...] partnerships, and social media. But what’s the essence? A neat little iphone mindmapping app (via Neill Williams) helped me distill three social reporting principles, as you can see here. Given the time of year [...]

Digging simplenote right now. Simple note taking, great search for GTD tagging chops if you so wish, syncs with the cloud and nice Mac desktop and dashboard apps to boot. Worth a look if you want a simpler note/to-do app anytime.

I find Darkslide (free version available) better than the Flickr app.

I use Read it Later to get longer blog posts from Google reader for off-line reading.

TVGuide is a pretty good free app for listings, but doubt it would be better than the Radio Times one you have.

Just downloading the Settlers free version now – can recommend Civilisation Rev though from that genre.

Polyhedra is a fairly addictive game. Also enjoyed a bit of retro fun with Monopoly. Still have HarborMaster and FlightControl – although haven’t played either for a while.

Love Art is the Nat Gall equivalent of your Louvre one – was free when I got it, now £1.79

Cheers for the post Neil. There ought to be a Cribs style show for flaunting your favourite apps!

Give Reeder a whirl on Google Reader front – nicer looking/ faster than Byline & co and you can Tweet from it.

Other apps floating my boat:

iTalk – bought it before Voice Memos was introduced and still use it, friendler interface that the nipper likes

Games – Sword of Fargoal, NOVA, C64, Driver, Vector Tanks, JetCarStunts, Pop

Content – RadioBox, The Guardian, Empire Movie Guide, iFooty

Utilities – British Gas (just lets you file meter readings – really simple and clear, puts other cos to shame), Tipulator

I’m also still really into ‘Star Walk’ – like Google Maps but for the cosmos. Never been into astronomy but it’s totally captivating.

I’ll be trying out your mindmap app. Mostly I have v similar apps ( and over the moon to hear about lovefilm). For RSS I use Newsstand which synchs well with google reader.
