Free iPhone Apps

i must admit i'm not one to spend money on apps...not so far anyway. since a few people have been mentioning free apps (via app store), i thought i would setup a thread for people to discuss/recommend any good free apps they have found. here are a few to kick it off...

tapdefense - a strategy game which comes highly recommended.
wordle - a word based game which i am addicted to...as well as my wife!
sudoku - a great sudoku game.
jellycar - had a quick game on this last night...looks good.
trace - haven't tried this yet but gets good ratings

i know these are all games but will post some more details of free apps soon. just wanted to get this thread started!
 
Thanks from:

Re: Free iPhone Apps

I am utterly addicted to Tapdefense. Best free game ever!

Trace is very good. I've had it for ages.

Jelly Car is quite good as well, but it has not kept my attention for as long as I thought it would.

I quite like "Marble Mash", "S.deadbeef" and "Canon Game".

Re: Free iPhone Apps

Shazam still amazes me... I even use it with TV ad's now.

Was at a Christmas party (yes, in January!) on saturday and a mate of my wife was asking me about the iPhone as she was wanting one, showed her Shazam to identify what track the DJ was playing - absolutely gobsmacked.

I know TrackID programs are on other phones too, but it's still great to have.

Also showed her TV Plus, she thought I was winding her up when I set my Sky box to record MOTD & 24.

Also use google mobile a lot.

yes, shazam is very good indeed.

Midomi - i've not really used it properly but you can whistle the tune or sing it and it will do the same as shazam.

AroundMe - this one locates where you are and lists restaurants, petrol stations, banks, bars, hospitals, hotels etc around you. great for when you are in an area you are not familiar with.

Cube Runner - a very addictive game.
