iPhone Apps I can't live without...

Can I just say, I LOVE MY IPHONE!!! I can't imagine life without it, it's ridiculous but this little device runs my life! I figured I would share my favorite apps, this list is subject to change as new apps hit the app store, but these are my current favs!

FACEBOOK
Ahh, yes, good old facebook! This is the age of social networking and facebook is a must have for the youth of this generation. I can have four papers due in a week for grad school, stress over wedding details that should've been done yesterday and STILL find time to waste on facebook before the "Oh shit, blahblah needs to be done" panic hits me.

TWITTER
While I love facebook, I've slowly found myself becoming addicted to tweeting to my peeps! I love the idea of being able to actually talk to celebs (even if they don't tweet back) and find out what they or my friends are doing/thinking.

INSTAGRAM
This app is awesome! I love all the different ways you can make your pictures look and being able to choose if I want them displayed on facebook and twitter saves me the hassle of uploading my pics on these two social networking sites separately!

FOURSQUARED
Finding out who else is at the mall or fighting for mayor ships of public places can become addictive! Getting badges for unlocking things on this app gives you a small sense of accomplishment and the titles these "achievements" have cracks me up!

AROUNDME
This app is awesome whenever you visit a new town or just want to find something new to do! I can't wait to use this on my next road trip, who ever made this app was awesome!

NETFLIX
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Netflix! Having unlimited data plan plus netflix means I'm NEVER without some sort of entertainment! Of course, If you aren't lucky enough to have the unlimited data plan, at least you're good to go as long as you have wi-fi!

ITRANSLATE
Having friends in other countries, this app is great when trying to figure out what non-English status updates are about. It's also helpful if I forget how to say a certain word in Spanish.. (Hey, I was born and raised in AMERICA! English is my primary language, so sue me if I forget how to say a word in Spanish!)

FLASHLIGHT
Using my phone as a flashlight is the best feature ever! You never know when you find yourself in a dark place and need a guiding light!

DRAGONVALE
I love this game! breeding dragons and competing to have the best dragon "zoo" amoung your friends in the game center becomes addictive super fast!

TINY TOWER
Again.. another addictive game, though it is a bit slow once it starts taking over a day to build a floor. Never less, this game does help kill time when you're bored!

WORDS WITH FRIENDS
Ahhh, the joys of playing Scrabble against your friends ans co-workers!

FML
Feeling like your life sucks? You're not alone! Reading the misfortune of others just has a way of making any crappy day into an OK day!

SHAZAM
Personally, I always forget the names of songs and the artist. This app is great in helping you figure out the names of songs on a radio station or playing in a restaurant.

EBAY
I love EBay! I can usually find stuff that I want at a price I can actually afford!

RED LASER
Hello, my name is Shirley and I am a shopaholic! I love finding deals, my motto is to never pay full price for something that I can more then likely find at a different store for a cheaper price. As such, this app is a must have!

TD BANK
I am one of those people that never balances her checkbook. I know, I know, I really should keep a better track of how much money I have in my bank account but I know myself and that is just not happening! At least there's an app for that..

TINY CHEF
I love this game but at the same time I hate it. I will go for a few weeks where I constantly play but the moment I forget about it and my dishes spoil, I get over it and stop playing for awhile. Ah, well, we shall continue this love/hate relationship because Tiny Chef will, more then likely, have its permanent place on my iPhone screen.

Well, that's all of my current favs, I'm sure whenever I find new apps that I think are worth mentioning, I'll blog about them!

<3 Shirley
