As to my favorite app, I’d say it would be a tossup between Kindle and Reeder.

2 Joel Blaiberg December 13, 2011 at 5:54 pm

Flipboard – it’s the one app I check multiple times a day!

3 Michael V. Martel December 13, 2011 at 5:55 pm

I think I would say Kindle. Just for the amount of time I’ll spend reading when my iPad is either not handy or low on a charge.

4 Robert Kohl December 13, 2011 at 6:14 pm

My most favorite IOS app would be the “Facebook” app. This way I am kept informed of everything that my sweet grandaughter is up to, with posts from my daughter. Everyday I receive either a picture or video of her being silly, or just being a sleeping Angel!!!
Obviously I keep in touch with freinds and family too. ;)

5 deBona December 13, 2011 at 6:26 pm

Ouh yeah! The favourite and most used? Instagram, of course! Thousands of pics each day!!

6 Robert LeBrasseur December 13, 2011 at 6:59 pm

My favorite app for iOS is Pages. The dictation mode is incredible for writing letters. It is very useful in my line of practice and I find it more powerful than Dragon NaturallySpeaking. The recognition and correct spelling of proper names from the address book is incredible.

7 Lee Owens December 13, 2011 at 7:06 pm

My current favorite app is My Fitness Pal.

8 Terry December 13, 2011 at 7:07 pm

My current fave app is W.E.L.D.E.R., combining word knowledge and “tetris-like” skills.

9 Ryan December 13, 2011 at 7:31 pm

My favorite iOS app is MobileRss. It keeps me up to date on all of my RSS feeds.

10 Matt DeWitt December 13, 2011 at 7:37 pm

I love the reminder app on iphone 4s. I use it alot with location reminders for my job saves me from missing things when I show up to new locations.

11 Maria December 13, 2011 at 8:24 pm

My fav iOS app –

um, Messages? does that count, it’s preinstalled, but it’s really what I use the most LOL texting, chatting, communicating with clients on the road… (no I’m not 17 years old btw, but why else have an iPhone!)

and also I love a calculator app called Digits – it can do everything, and it has a tickertape feature so my husband and I don’t fight over the mastercard bill calculation!

12 Angie M December 13, 2011 at 8:45 pm

Oh my gosh, with all the apps I have it’s hard to narrow it down to just one. My most-used app is Evernote, so I guess I’ll have to go with that one. Thanks!

13 Dean December 13, 2011 at 8:52 pm

So many to choose from. The games are all great for killing time, but my favourite/ most used app would have to be pdf reader pro. As a teacher i use it all the time to quickly scan a page or student work sample, copy it to dropbox and open it on the interactive whiteboard…….awesome!

14 The Ronald December 13, 2011 at 9:04 pm

Photo Booth APP. because it’s new and I have it. THX

15 Jeff Brown December 13, 2011 at 9:11 pm

16 Gregg December 13, 2011 at 9:20 pm

My favorite app is Talking Angry Drunk Santa……………….Tis the season!

17 Helen December 13, 2011 at 9:25 pm

19 Bill Mc kechnie December 13, 2011 at 9:38 pm

My favorite app is site. It provides great articles all the time it keeps me informed and keeps me curious.

20 Martin Sung December 13, 2011 at 9:40 pm

21 Benjamin Chew December 13, 2011 at 9:41 pm

22 SL December 13, 2011 at 9:51 pm

Good Question. NewsRack, but i had to think about it.

23 Julie S. December 13, 2011 at 10:04 pm

My favorite iOS app is TomTom. GPS and phone in one device- love the streamlining.

24 Anson December 13, 2011 at 10:13 pm

Bejewelled Blitz or Pulse – runs circles around the slow flipboard (over 3G)

25 ginfonic December 13, 2011 at 10:57 pm

Reeder I seem.

26 GeoL December 13, 2011 at 11:27 pm

27 Andrew Leeds December 13, 2011 at 11:31 pm

Flipboard

28 Marco December 13, 2011 at 11:50 pm

30 Wonko December 14, 2011 at 12:15 am

I have become a Zeit addict. That is how I found this article!

31 Peter December 14, 2011 at 12:50 am

HippoRemote.

32 jp December 14, 2011 at 1:36 am

My favorite iPhone app is Mint; its the best way to keep track of your finances on a daily basis.

33 Gary Welsh December 14, 2011 at 2:15 am

34 Johan Verbiest December 14, 2011 at 3:07 am

Favourite and most used : Flipboard

35 Lloyd December 14, 2011 at 3:15 am

Absolute favorite… tough one. I’ve tried a lot of apps, but I always find myself going back to Apple’s defaults. I’d have to say Safari at the moment.

36 Joe December 14, 2011 at 3:40 am

Calendar and email, supposedly.

37 Eduardo Freitas December 14, 2011 at 5:15 am

The best app to me is Zite.

38 David December 14, 2011 at 5:25 am

Flipboard, although coffee table comes in a close second. I don’t usually buy anything, but it’s a good time waster!

39 Berna Sloan December 14, 2011 at 5:36 am

My new favorite app is Zite

40 MikeR December 14, 2011 at 5:56 am

Kindle Reader

41 Joe December 14, 2011 at 5:59 am

The Zite app is simple but very intuitive interface!!! Very clean and can be personalized.

42 Barrington December 14, 2011 at 6:38 am

This one used Zite the most on its iPad. The Reddit like crowd sourcing of articles is filtered through a contextualize algorithm based on previous viewing history. The interface is fluid and clean which enables this one to quickly scan and find articles on which to focus. This one also appreciates the large variety of social sharing features that are unavailable on similar applications.

This one is grateful for this amazingly well thought out application and the opportunity to share its glory with others.

43 Jennifred December 14, 2011 at 9:12 am

Oooh. It’s a tie between Instagram and Foursquare. I tend to overshare.

44 Tom C December 14, 2011 at 9:21 am

My favorite app is “Star Walk” followed closely by “Intellicast HD”. As fast as the weather changes in Texas I look at it a bunch.

45 Robert Williams December 14, 2011 at 9:24 am

I love MapMyFitness!

46 Kevin S December 14, 2011 at 10:04 am

My fav has to be Evernote, I use it everyday to save webpages, log new biz ideas, all my photographs, restaurant receipts, business cards, for taking short notes and to-do lists. It’s a great all purpose app, try it out!

47 Brad Grass December 14, 2011 at 3:41 pm

There are so many apps I use everyday that are useful and practical, but the FUNNEST has to be ‘StarWalk’. I love taking the kids outside when the stars are out, flipping on the iPad and then get caught up in their excitement and wonder of it all!

48 Kelsey December 14, 2011 at 5:46 pm

I’ve been playing WAY too much Tetris lately.

49 Tim December 14, 2011 at 8:38 pm

My favorite app has been Pulse for quite awhile however I’ve been warming up to Zite recently.

50 Tony December 14, 2011 at 9:56 pm

Lets see my favorite app has to be..

balance or wordbook dictionary

I either seem to be looking up a word or calculating my expenses when I am mobile – gotta be productive, always working.

Always Playing harder.

51 Fred Bolden December 14, 2011 at 9:58 pm

My favorite app is reeder

52 Matt December 14, 2011 at 10:03 pm

I’d have to say Tune-In Radio is my favorite app because I can listen to my local radio station no matter where I’m located on the earth, well, as long as their is wi-fi or AT&T service. ; )

53 Soren December 15, 2011 at 4:39 am

OmniFocus is probably my favourite app but a close race.

59 Rion C December 16, 2011 at 1:33 am

My favorite app is called Godville. Its hilarious, easy to use, and well, hilarious. It is the most used app I have.

Next up is the Facebook app, which I hope will get a good update to be similar to the Android version. If that happens, the Facebook app would be my #1 app based on usability! :)

60 Daniel December 16, 2011 at 8:27 am

I use Skype all the time.
