Updated: Aug 3, 2010
I get asked all the time about the apps that I run on my iPhone… So I’ve compiled a list here. I’ve kind of kept them in a loose running order of their ‘importance’, or rather perhaps, how often I use them. I’ll try to keep this up-to-date, and maybe even break out a list of Apps I’ve run, then deleted for whatever reason… That list can be found below the good list.
First Page Apps
These apps are used enough that they all get first page real estate on my iPhone:
iXpenseit These guys also make another app, FYI Mileage, for tracking your car’s mileage, and writing it off. It integrates well with iXpenseit, and looks nice too.
Things Works well sync’ing with the desktop version of the App… Which kicks ass. Things integrates well with my Apple Mail/BusyCal (think iCal Pro) workflow, and keeps me totally organized.
EchoFon Pro (formerly TwitterFon Pro). I’ve tried a bunch of Twitter apps, but if you’re running multiple accounts, this is the one, hands down.
TimeSlice Works with my time tracking app on my laptop. There’s other solutions, maybe some are even a bit more elegant than TimeSlice, but I’ve been using it for years, and if I ever have a problem, Bill usually replies pretty quick, and has on more than one occasion, cut me a Beta to fix my problem.

Here’s my first (left) and second screens (right).
WeatherEye (from the Weather Network). Waaaaay better than the standard weather app. Way more localized, allows you to save several different cities in your settings. Nice for very localized weather in the short and long term. Hopefully in the next version, we’ll be able to change the weather?
Air Sharing (Free version). This is where I keep important PDF’s I’ll need with me, Flight itineraries, Electronic Boarding Passes, Tickets, Concert Tickets, Receipts, photos I keep with me permanently, etc.
Photo Editing Apps
Photogene
CameraBag
NightCamera [iTunes link]
Peter Belanger (MacWorld photographer) has a killer set of photo editing apps not to be missed.
