What's your favourite iPod/iPhone App so far?

Mine has to be "Aurora Feint" which is a brilliant game and well worth the £5.99 upgrade fee on it's own.

I haven't bought any applications yet but I'm thinking about getting "Super Monkey Ball", love the GameCube and Wii versions so the iPod version with proper motion sensing should be great.

"Remote" is also great, I have it linked up to my Windows laptop and iMac and must admit to playing a bit of a prank on my Mum! She was looking at stuff on the internet on our Mac and I remotely controller iTunes so it started playing music! She wondered what was happening!

I have only downloaded two apps so far. Super Monkey Ball which has very good graphics but the controls take a bit of getting used to.

The other app is called iPint which is a silly game where you have to keep on tilting the pub table to stop the beer falling off and it also turns your screen into a Carlsberg beer glass which you can fill. When you tilt the screen beer flows out. Total waste of time but is free and good at parties for a laugh.

Just bought Super Monkey Ball myself and I agree about the controls, they do take a bit of getting used to, but then it was the same for the Wii. After being used to the GameCube controls, motion sensing was a bit strange!

Anyone else got any favourite apps?

A lot of them are a little crap for what you have to pay. A few pounds here and there and it all adds up.

Aurora Feint is a fantastic freebie, the music is great too. There are a few free decent language apps for French, Italian and Spanish.

I only bought two apps - Super Monkey Ball (a little disappointing, ridiculously sensitive controls and very annoying) and Bejeweled. I love Bejeweled and very happy with that. I knew what I was getting, the graphics when you complete a level are cool, and the music is cool (reminds me of a Vangelis score).

Yes it does have a section for Talk radio even if it doesnt have the one your looking for, you can add it in yourself as it lets you put in your own stream URL.

The last.fm app is very good, just a shame it can't run in the back ground

The only paid for app I have so far is MooCowMusic: Band, which is nice, but may have a limited life span if it doesn't get upgraded with a few more instruments etc.

Please can someone help me with the Tuner application...

I'm trying to stream Choice Fm which you can stream from www.choice-fm.co.uk but I don't know how to tune into this through the Tuner application on my iPod Touch. Can someone help me? It asks me for the url of the stream but I don't know what to type as www.choice-fm.co.uk is the website homepage not the actual url for the live radio stream.

You can listen to Choice FM on your iPod Touch through this website, just open it up in Safari

Decided to buy the app, plus side is there is tons of stations to choose from, the downside is that US talk stations are awful.
