Weekly roundup: Top 10 iPhone apps of the week, you can download by clicking over the linked names of the app:
- Gorillacam: It mashes together a slew of features to hugely improve an iPhone’s including timer, multi-shot, spirit-level, on-screen grid, and ‘press anywhere’ capture.
- RunKeeper: The app uses an iPhone’s GPS capabilities to track your jogging route, and provides mapping and details of pace and calories burned. Activities can be shared online, and treadmill runs can be entered manually.
- Dropbox: Dump files you want to sync in a folder on your computer and Dropbox for your device will enable you to access them, download them for offline viewing, and, in many cases, view them.
- TonePad: Virtual pianos and guitars are all very well, but purely digital musical toys are more suited to Apple handhelds. TonePad is the best of them, using a grid-based interface that enables you to turn notes on and off and compose pleasing and harmonious loops; your creations can be edited, saved and uploaded to share with other users.
- Movies: Select a film and the app figures out where you’re located, lists nearby cinemas, and displays times your chosen film is showing. Efficiency can be further increased by pinning favourite cinemas to the top of the list.
- Thetrainline: For anyone commuting by train, Thetrainline is the free app to beat all others. Journey planning, offline results, timetables and a location-aware ‘next train home’ option are available via a clean, streamlined interface.
- Comics: The app is free, as are dozens of downloadable comics – and once you run out of those, many more are available to buy. Reading works on a frame-by-frame automated ‘zoom’ basis, and is surprisingly usable.
- Kindle: Now iBooks has arrived on the iPhone, you might wonder why you should bother with Amazon’s Kindle. After all, the app’s not as pretty as iBooks, nor is there an integrated store.
- Stanza: Stanza enables you to download books from various sources (many of which offer free titles), and you can transfer your own ePub, PDF or eReader titles from the free Stanza Desktop.
- Around Me: Around Me figures out where you are and lists local stuff – banks, bars, petrol stations and Apple Retail Stores.
