Great Free iPhone Apps

Earlier this week, I told you about my favorite smartphone app, Poynt. After making that post, I realized that sometimes it's hard to determine which apps are worth downloading. So here are a few of the most popular free iPhone apps from iTunes. Additionally I found a website FAAD (Free App a Day), which showcases a new app each day and provides it for free the day it's featured.

I do not have an iPhone so I am basing this list off of popular downloads on iTunes.


Doodle Buddy - Enjoy finger painting without the mess.

Facebook - I believe Facebook comes pre-loaded on most of the phones, but if not you should download it. This app is great because besides updating your status, you can use it to find phone numbers or email addresses of your friends if they have the information on their profile.

Farmville - This free app will allow anyone who's addicted to Farmville on Facebook to play on their iPhone.

iHeart Radio - Many radio stations have teamed up with iHeart to let you listen to your favorite music wherever you go.

Skype - I'm a huge fan of Skype and use it to stay in touch with my friends through group conversations. Being able to take these conversation windows on the road is a great benefit. I've never used Skype to make actual phone calls, but from what I understand you can use the Skype app to save money if you need to make an international call.

Urbanspoon - Help find restaurants in the area. This app helps you discover new places to eat.

Virtual Zippo Lighter - Turns your phone into a virtual lighter. You can wave it in the air at a concert when real lighters are banned but the song just calls for some light. This app is free, but if you want your virtual lighter to have a design you will have to pay $0.99 for a skin.


I have also created posts for the Blackberry and Droid.  Now it's your turn. Please share which apps you have downloaded and love.
