Any iPhone apps worth money?

[dmw16]

I got a $25 iTunes gift card for Christmas. I don't usually spend money on apps, but I figured I'd ask if there are any apps or games worth actually paying for?

SplashID is the only iPhone app I have yet to pay for, and I have 9 pages of apps.

My favorite paid apps thus far;

Trism (Bought it the day it came out months ago and STILL play it nearly every other day) - $4.99
Burning Monkey Casino (Good general casino app, has lots of different games) - $0.99
Delivery Status Touch (FANTASTIC package tracking app, syncs with desktop widget version) - $1.99
Lumen (Another great game, some levels can be difficult but I still play it often) - $0.99
Ocarina (Great music generating app, takes a bit of skill to get good at it, but I love playing with it) - $0.99

My next purchase will likely be Rolando, but at $9.99 i've yet to jump. Good reviews though.

AppShopper for watching price drops.

-Fieldrunners is a great waste of time
-4tracks is a simple 4 track recorder that I really lick
-winadmin is good when you are in a pinch

You could always sell it for cash and just get free apps.

HoldEm & Feeds are the only 2 to get my cash.

HoldEm is nice, and personally I swear by Pocket Tunes Radio as the best streaming radio client (but boy is it expensive).

another vote for fieldrunners. .. great time killer . . . If you like to listen to out of town radio, wunder radio is a great app altho clean channel statipons were recently pulled when they put out their own free I heart radio app.

I prefer Engimo or whatever you call it (water droplet game) over field runners. I can see how people like field runners but its predictable

What is it about Pocket Tunes, that makes it better than the free AOL or iheart Radio

 

[ViRGE]

AOL Radio only tunes AOL's stations obviously and iHeart Radio only does Clearchannel's stations, Pocket Tunes Radio can tune anything Shoutcast/Icecast, including custom streams and password protected streams. This means I can use it with Digitally Imported. It's also the only player that "gets it right" with respect to how it decodes things; it uses the Apple MP3 decoder for MP3 streams, and only uses its own internal decoders for AAC and AAC+. And those decoders use less CPU time than FStream, meaning it won't burn through your battery like a knife through butter.

3rd for Fieldrunners, Snail Mail is also cool, it's actually a game. It just came out and is only $1.99, it's going up to $5.99 or something soon. Fieldrunners is bad ass I'm playing it right now 🙂
