    I saw there was a Liverpool Iphone apps thread, but this one is for general Iphone apps.

    I have started using a new one where you can track your monthly spend on everything. Was recommended by someone else and have found it very useful

    BudgetCare its called. Another one is the XE Currency Converter one.

    The Maps app that comes free with it is also brilliant. Used it many times for getting round the city in the car.

    Anyone got any other useful Iphone apps?

    Never really thought of myself as someone who would be into Iphone, but its savage in my opinion

    WifiTrak - think I paid 79c for it, very handy for finding and connecting to wifi networks.
    Skype - free, no need to say anymore.
    Fring - don't really use it but handy for anyone who uses multiple messengers and whatnot.
    Boxed In - not useful, but a deadly little free game.
    Tap Defence - as above.

    Have loads of apps (most of which are crap). The only ones I really use are Dublin Bus (2.99), Sky Sport Score Centre (free) and Texas HoldEm (3.99). I also have Sygic Europe (79.99!!) which is a great sat nav application that doesn't require wi-fi. Wunder Radio (5.49) is also good but beware you CAN NOT get live PL matches on 5live as it is restricted, good for listening to police band in new york though !! - also beware running this app requires wi-fi as it too expensive to run on 3G.

    A few more cheap/free apps I've discovered:

    WhatsApp - I got this for free (limited time), think it's €0.79 now. Lets you send a "text message" to any other iPhone via 3G/Wifi so as to not use your text messages limited. Great interface, simple to use.

    Irish Weather - Does exactly what it says on the tin. Free. Includes satelitte maps and other pointless but pretty looking stuff :)

    RTE News - Free. Guess what it does? :)

    Lets golf! - Free and pretty darn decent for a phone golf game.

    Jungle Crash - Free (I think?). Simple little game but like them all very addictive.

    Bubbles Lab - A free puzzle bobble-esque game.

    book-movi.es - Allows you to book movies using it. Haven't actually done so yet but browsed for VUE cinema and got to booking stage. Free.

    Carzone.ie - An iphone app for the site.

    Red! - Free. Silly as feck but might get a brief laugh down the pub. Allows you to become a ref and card somebody :p

    Shankly Speaks - Free (lite version). What?! Yup - it contains some quotes and conversations from Shankly and a few others. Haven't had a proper listen yet as only found it last nite.

    Does anyone have Monolopy? It's about €3.99 I think.
    Just trying to find out if it's any good before I buy it.
