I have created this thread to compile all together the best and worse apps (everything under the sun) to hit the iTunes App Store. This list can be compile through the experience from you guys (when the time comes) and also from the net. However you guys should look at the Gizmodo webpage showing the reviews of all interesting apps.

iPhone App Review Marathon by Gizmodo

The List

Best Apps
1. Tomatoes - search for movie reviews.
2. Aurora Feint the Beginning - Cool game. Love it despite crashing on me a number of times.
3. Weatherbug - Need it for work, and it is great!
4. Remote - controlling my Macs AND AppleTV from my iPhone is a stroke of genius!
5. Scrabble - state-of-the-art, beautiful game that will never grow old. Shake your iPhone to toss the tiles around!
6. Critter Crunch - Looks can be very deceiving. Very nice hand-drawn quality
7. Super Monkey Ball - The other must-have App, to show others the graphical capabilities of the iPhone.
8 . Loopt - Once this takes off, it will show its great potential. Connect all the time with your buddies and see what they are up to, on the fly!

Worse Apps
1. Flashlight - $0.99 for a light? There are several free ones.
2. BMI - Seems more like a tech demo than anything. A bit fiddly too.

When you say "apps" here ,I'd include everything, including games as well.

Favourites:-
1. Weatherbug - Need it for work, and it is great!
2. Remote - controlling my Macs AND AppleTV from my iPhone is a stroke of genius!
3. Scrabble - state-of-the-art, beautiful game that will never grow old. Shake your iPhone to toss the tiles around!
4. Critter Crunch - Looks can be very deceiving. Very nice hand-drawn quality
5. Super Monkey Ball - The other must-have App, to show others the graphical capabilities of the iPhone.
6 . Loopt - Once this takes off, it will show its great potential. Connect all the time with your buddies and see what they are up to, on the fly!
7. Enigmo - Voted the Best iPhone Game at WWDC 08'. They are not kidding!

I dont know any of the worst apps, anything i dont download or buy, consider not worthwhile for me. This may include my previous interest in Foreflight, the database in that app is only extensive for American aviation needs, not worldwide. Not paying USD69.99 for that!

Noticed you say "For iPhone of course". Dont forget our iPod Touch brothers as well. nod.gif

EDIT to include Enigmo at #7.

i tried it, the game actually like final fantasy 3 - 6 graphic and yeah, like nitendo's rpg games. the unique is that we use touch to point the character direction and it combine with iphone interface it self for the inventory, shops and other stuff. for rpg fan, better try this out.
