Here are some of my favourite iPhone apps and why:

General apps:

• Podcaster – I listen to lots of podcasts! There’s a list here.
• Tunein Radio – when I do the washing up I listen BBC Radio 4 via the internet as the FM signal in the kitchen is a bit iffy. I also listen to Radio Rock – Helsinki
• Met Office – Get the weather and rain maps. Just great.
• WordPress – for editing this site on the move and when I am away from a computer.
• Wolfram – for maths stuff and finding out things that require time series or comparisons.
• Flickr – puts my family photos onto the Flickr site.
• Twitter – I can follow my favourite people and occasionally tweet about the aero-fauna I see.
• IMDb – ever recognise someone in a film and wonder what else they have been in? If so then you need IMBd. I remember it when it was based in Cardiff (that’s a long time ago).
• GTPlanet – I use it to check out interesting things about the Gran Turismo series.

 Sport apps:

• WTCC – keeps me in touch with the World Touring Car Series.
• William Hill – I can place my usual amount on the sporting outcomes on offer.
• Spurs – just to keep up to date with the score and Premiership table. Football on the whole bores me as a sport.
• ECB Cricket – because cricket is a sport that matters.
• NFL – after motorsport this is probably my favourite sport.
• F1

Games:

• F-Sim Shuttle – in top 3%
• X – Plane – 4G
• RC Plane 2
• F.A.S.T.
• Real Racing 2
• Slayer Pinball HD
• Angry Birds – in the top 9%
• Sailboat Pro
• Flick Golf

My GameCentre name is Kurtz72 

Random:

• Wind Tunnel – as an aero engineer (by degree) this is fascinating.
• Star Walk – it’s always good to know what stars you are looking at.
• Fractile – zoom into the Mandelbrot set which is just lovely and fascinating.
