I honestly don't know how many times I've found myself using the helpful and sometimes completely random apps that Apple has to offer. I've tried and tested quite a few and I've decided to compile a list of my favorites.

1. Pandora

This little guy is musical genius, whenever I feel like I've played out the songs on my phone I'll switch it on. The premise behind the app, is that you type in a band, musician or song, and it complies a play list of songs you may like to listen to based on your taste.

2. HeyTell

This app is more or less a walkie-talkie, it allows you to connect with people on Androids, iPhones, iPads, and iPods with the press of a single button.

3. Hipstamatic

This application is very cool, I almost rarely use the iphones basic camera due to this app. Its vintage camera appearance allows you to shoot picture using a variety of lenses and films all which produce different effects on lighting and color.

4. Nike + GPS

This app is similar to the in shoe GPS chip which synced with iPods to show total time, mileage, and calories burned. This takes it to the next level, and tells you just about everything you wanted to know about your workout. From distance, to pace this app is a runners best friend, and the positive affirmations at the end are always nice :).

5. Thrillist

This app uses GPS to help to find the hottest spots to eat, drink and shop! They highlight future events and new restaurants, all of which have a cool atmosphere or fun location.
