We have found an iPhone app that costs absolutely nothing but still offers turn-by-turn voice navigation for FREE! Skobbler is a free street level voice turn by turn navigation iPhone app. The caveat – the maps are created by users. It uses the OpenStreetMap...

I was a die-hard Remember the Milk online task manager app fan for a long time. Recently, I made the move to using Pocket Informant iPhone app and ToodleDo task manager for my GTD needs. Remember the Milk iPhone app (RTM) was previously available only to RTM Pro users who paid $25/year. Even though the RTM web app was free for everyone, with the PRO adding more...

If you have been jailbroken for a while you might already use Five Icon Dock app. It gives you 5 apps in the iPhone dock instead of the Apple 4. Five...

One of the must have iPhone apps for a shopper is a barcode scanner iPhone app. Of all the scanners available in the App Store, there is one app that has stood out for a long time.

iOS 4 rocks with the folders. I have going to town using folders especially with the InfiniFolder jailbreak app removing the 12-app in a folder limit put by Apple. However, there was a little thing about iOS 4 that was bugging the hell out of me! After launching an app inside a folder and when I go Home, I’d be looking at the folder I launched the app...

Lately I haven’t had much time on a computer.  I’ve been using my iPhone for pretty much everything.  I’m actually writing this app review with my phone. Even with fast app switching, it still takes extra time to switch to safari, surf to a page and submit forms.  Whenever there is an app that can save me a minute or two I get excited....
