The various applications provided in the iPhone store can help you get simple tasks done or allow you to play some games while a few others exist just for fun purposes without any true function. There is nothing wrong with this and a few are definitely worth checking out.

The first app you should test out is Fandango. It allows you to purchase tickets online so that you aren’t stuck waiting in line behind everyone. This could mean the difference between missing the show or not especially if you got hung up in traffic on your way to the theater. It also helps you to find theaters in your area and check out trailers for movies that may be showing in case you aren’t sure what sounds good at the current time.

Fring is the ultimate application to use if you want to communicate through the multiple instant messaging services that are available. The iPhone problem is that switching between applications isn’t possible without closing the other out. Fring merges them all together so that you don’t have to do this. Some of the instant messaging services supported are Yahoo and AIM. This app also allows you to access Facebook and Twitter as well. History is built in so if you forget what you’re talking about don’t worry about it. The app takes care of everything for you.

Brushes is an app that works for the artistic individuals. It costs .99 so it is relatively cheap and has been compared to MS Paint but a little more advanced. It has a more appropriate title of being a simple version of Photoshop. You can paint on the touch screen using your fingers to make pictures. The unfortunate aspect of this app is that if you don’t have artistic talent you’re out of luck because it can’t give you that.

Sports fans will enjoy ESPN ScoreCenter which is another free and fun application. It doesn’t actually add any features because searching with an engine yields the same results. However, this app can organize it all for you. You can specify which sport you want information on and instantly get statistics and scores for your team. In football for example you can see the score of the game, the most recent play that was conducted, and how much time is left in the game.

Nature lovers will want to find other geocachers in the area. It is an app that is on the pricier side of the spectrum at .99 and titled appropriately at Geocaching. It can be difficult to find people in the area who share similar interests and this app can make it that much easier for you. Field notes are also possible to assist others who have the interests.

Sonar Ruler is a cheap and useless application in basic terms. It is a geek tool that can assist you in finding how far away from a specific sound you happen to be. It isn’t an exact science but it can be fun to play with.
