Just chatting with Schlaefer about “Which iOS apps do you actually really use” and then thought about what I really use on the iPad and iPhone. I’ll leave out the standard apps like Mail, Safari, etc.

Daily:

  • Tweetbot - my current Twitter client
  • NewsRack - my RSS feed reader (without Google Reader Sync :-))
  • EyeTV - for the morning news

Multiple times a week:

  • Lovefilm - in case I want to watch a movie to fall asleep
  • TV Forecast HD - so I don’t miss any of the current TV episodes
  • On Air - my TV guide
  • ARTE - the media library app for Arte
  • ZDF - media library app for ZDF
  • Instacast HD - my video podcast player
  • iOutBank - so I always have an overview of my finances
  • DEVONthink - my documents, basically my life :-)
  • Things - my tasks, but somehow they’re not getting any fewer
  • DB Navigator - okay, I’m sitting in the ICE at least once a week (thanks BahnCard 100)
  • Pin Trip - my travel diary
  • QMobile - access to my QNAP TS-412 media library
  • Kindle - yes, I even read something now and then
  • PocketCloud - VNC access to my Mac Pro

Regularly:

  • djay - I use this in my macnemo.tv show
  • CloudConnect - my “Norton Commander” for the iPad
  • Good Reader - used less and less lately. I need it occasionally to load files onto the iPad
  • Dropbox
  • Cloud-Mgr - management of Amazon Web Services
  • Linode - management of my web servers at Linode.com
  • iSSH - SSH client for accessing my web servers
  • OmniOutliner
  • OmniGraffle
  • Textastic - the text editor of my choice on the iPad

Those were essentially the apps I use regularly.

Cheers, Lars
