Lads, Let's have a forum where we can recommend apps to eachother. make sure you put the name of teh app, the cost and a brief detail about what the app actually does. My must-haves are: SKY NEWS (free) self explanatory SKY SPORTS NEWS (free) self explanatory FOX NEWS (free) self explanatory PGA TOUR (free) Gives up to date news, views and features as well as real time score updates. PADDY POWER (free) Could be more detailed, but I use it every day to catch up on changing odds. IRISH WEATHER (free) Brilliant app, details the weather for next five days in your area. IRISH TAXI (free) Superb app. You can call a taxi nearby, it locates nearest branch to where you are standing. But the best thing is you can gauge how much the taxi should cost you, what route is the quickest for teh taxi to take. Type in your location, where you wanna go and the app will tell you how much that will cost. No more going the long route for more money!! Loads, loads more, but be interested to see if there's any I should have that I haven't heard of! ------------- If I keep writing enough hagiographic articles on Man Utd, they might give me a job |

Lads, update your phones to iOS 5, and you get to use iMessage, basically built in viber/whats app messaging into the phone. So sending an sms to someone else who has iOS5 on theirs, will cost you nothing but the data charge, which on many is free. Get angry birds, perfect for those long moments on the toilet.

Sham why would ya jail break your phone? Is it just to unlock it? A lad I know has this and can't turn on his phone if it goes dead unless he hooks it up to his pc that he used to jailbreak it, what a pain in the tits. |

Never jailbreaking mine again. Did it so i could watch the old sky player full screen when hooked up to a tv. But then tried reversing it to upgrade to IOS 5 ( needed a new OS for SkyGO) and made an awful hames of it altogether.
Took it down the Apple Store and they did a restore on it and upgraded the firmware, didn't catch the jailbreak.

If its jailbroken properly, and thankfully mine is, then its brilliant. Can get all the apps for free. Example being, Tom Tom Sat Nav. Have both the UK/Ireland and Europe versions (came in handy for ShamTravel recently) for free saving me €130. Can change setting on the phone to whatever I want. Needs to be done right though. If there is an issue that I need to bring it to Apple, then I can just do a restore anyway.

iOS5 is tethered jailbroken, meaning its jailbroken on all devices except the iPhone 4s but if your phone turns off you have to reboot it using redSn0w. iOS5 is quality, has imessage and notification centre and a bunch of other stuff. Eirtext Pro - have to pay for it. Instagram for photos Shazam - lets you search any song while its playing vlingo - If you want to see what Siri on the 4s is like this is very close.  ------------- I Love Loft. twitter - @Ciano316 |

GPS Navigation by Skobbler. It cost me just under €6 for European maps. It's for all intents and purposes TomTom only it also works offline. Once bought you can download whichever countries you need as you need them and then you can use the maps offline. Was a blessing during the Euros. Navigation is exactly the same as TomTom from what I can figure. It paid for itself during trip to the Euros. ------------- The Irishmans left foot is so cultured it could paint the Mona Lisa while enjoying a half time orange |

I tried to download navfree a few times and it just wouldn't download for me. Reviews were saying Irish maps weren't great on it either so I was a bit cautious as to how good the Polish ones would be. But it gets plenty of good reviews. Bought Skobbler with last few toys left over from booking so didn't mind spending and it's spot on. ------------- The Irishmans left foot is so cultured it could paint the Mona Lisa while enjoying a half time orange |

Anyone have this Hailo app? It's great. Tells you how long it will take a taxi to get you. You tap a button or two and you've ordered a taxi to your current location. It shows you where the taxi is, how long it will take and who your taxi driver is. You can register a card as well so you can pay that way and if ye want a tip you can put that on the card as well. I haven't had the chance to use it yet as only got last night but seems a deadly idea. Other ones I have: Dublin Bus Livescore Paddy Power BOI Online Banking Shazam Instagram Book Light 4 in a row (Connest 4) Addictive sh*t. Anymore recommendations? ------------- Ahh heya! |
