TuneIn Radio seems to have overtaken Radiobox recently. Slightly more expensive (£1.19) but you can record what you stream, and apparently can search for BBC Listen Again streams.

hmm, useful as a chocolate grillpan!


THe problem with google is you get formal reviews as opposed to feedback from people who use things over time, you also get 20-30 suggestions as opposed to the usual 4-5 you get from forums such as this one.

Itunes is about as helpful as ......... if you know what you want its great - as long as you know what section its under and are prepared to look though 25,000 apps opening each one to read it and see the screenshots etc.

Not that interested in the games - although that one is one of the few i have downloaded.

Have just checked on the TuneIn app on my iPhone and I have 5 live and 5 live sports extra available and working. (I have v1.4, which I think is the most up to date). You can even get R4 LW if you want to listen to cricket!! search for bbc and then browse bbc. It's a really good app if you ask me, struggles a bit if you're not on WIfi/3G but otherwise the best I have come across.

Another great thing to have is http://iphone.tvcatchup.com , near to live TV streaming of most terrestrial channels. Add a bookmark to your home screen.

Tesco clubcard, saves you carrying your card around.

Natwest/RBS (if you bank with them), check your balance wherever you are.

vouchercloud (discounts, although I'm not convinced about it's reliability yet).

Sky+ (again if you have it) remote record programs from anywhere.

0870 (saynoto0870 in your hand)

They're the ones I use most.

Five Live is shown in the 4th screenshot in the App Store.

Edit: just bought it. Both are there and work fine.

Update on some i am finding useful.

Just found my Local Authority has an App that gives all contact details as well as news and events.

tesco Finder - fantastic to help you find products in the store! We like Harissa Paste, yet not one staff member i have asked where it was to even knew what it was, set your store, put it in the App and it tells you isle, rack and specific shelf its on. (although this sounds really sad to be doing in a shop, its a lot less hassle than finding a member of staff to ask).

Ebay & Amazon ones are good.

IMBD Movie Database

Awesome Notes - quite a nice alternative to built in one & lite version is free.

GorillaCam - a slightly better app to use the camera with than the built in one.

Fire_Fox

I have Bill Tracker Lite for keeping track of when each household bill is due, quite happy with that so far. Would like to be able to sync my bills with budget and banking eventually so may well defect to a different app in time! I have Balance for spending/ budgeting but haven't used it yet, looks nice and simple tho.
