I love the DirectV app. When I'm away, it's great being able to now record a TV show via my iPhone with this app.

Was is your favorite iPhone Travel app?
 

And why?

Mine is the FlightTracker Pro with Trippit, but it seems like it could do more.

You told us about was is. Was about was? ;)

Welcome to FT!!

I have to say I have not found a travel app that I particularly care for or think is worth paying for. For flight stats, nothing beats just going to the carriers mobile Web site or mobile.flightstats.com. They have all the info I need, it is quick, looks good enough and it is by far the most up-to-day and accurate.

I have to say though something that I think would be quite cool on the iPhone would be the KVS tool or something similarly powerful to look up fares and seat maps etc.

sit and squat - where are the closest public toilets - unfortunately only works with new 3.0 OS :D

If only the dev didn't have to be done on a Mac I'd be almost done with that.

Now this is coooool: http://news.cnet.com/8301-17852_3-10...g=2547-1_3-0-5

Great way to celebrate 40th Woodstock anniversary ^^^

I have to say Flight Control is still my favorite game on the iPhone you just get drawn into it whenever you play and its great for passing the time while traveling.

Anyways, I broke 100 on the aircraft carrier level. This is my new favorite level. It really is a lot of fun and it took me several tries though once I finally got decent at it I realized it rotates around as you go :) adds a little bit more to the game.


Also OS3.0.1 is out and fixes a SMS vulnerability that was recently outed. Hopefully it also fixes some other problems I have been having with the phone in general.

Well, it isn't iPhone specific (and I'm actually not at all sure how it will render on an iPhone since I don't have one to test with) but you can check out my latest little side project here. It might meet your needs in terms of fare look-ups. Seat maps and some other tools are still in progress, but coming along nicely. It is very much still in testing and I'm looking for a few willing folks to beat on it in exchange for a free premium membership. PM me if you're interested.

I made it to 219 on the aircraft carrier level.

It's not a game but another app I like is "Around Me." It shows you where the closest restaurants, gas stations, grocery stores, etc, are located. It's free.

You guys are crazy, I can't get past 53 on the original airfield!

I started using RedLaser all the time - it reads the UPC codes on boxes when you are at Best Buy or wherever and price-compares it online to Amazon and a bunch of other places. Helped stop impulse-buys in the electronics department.

"Receipts" is also cool - take a picture of your receipt and it automatically crops it and assembles it into an expense report you can email yourself in .PDF format. Just having the copies of the receipts along is worth it and it works great.

I just downloaded Dopplr, a so-called "Social Atlas" that really just overlays restaurant, hotel and tourist attraction locations and ratings on a map.

It's a slick little app with an eye-pleasing interface.

I am an Urbanspoon fan, but sometimes you just want something "good enough" and close by, with the emphasis on the latter. Urbanspoon doesn't let you search that way AFAIK.

Two things I quickly noticed about Dopplr - I can't figure out how to add restaurants I like that are not currently plotted, and whoever provides their maps (it's not Google) plots the locations of popular coffee and restaurant chains right on the map, which is helpful in itself if you are a Starbucks fan and are too cheap to buy a dedicated Starbucks app.

The gripe I have with Urbanspoon is that it doesn't let you select a few different choices as you can only lock in one of each category.

The largest problem I have then is that if I am looking for something quick and cheap for lunch I really want one or two $ signs. Though I just lock it in on one and click spin. Then it comes up with Starbucks -- no good. So spin again, McDonalds -- ugh. Spin again, Burger King -- :mad:. Spin again, fun place I have never heard of -- oooh lets check this out... oh it 10 miles away, no good. And on and on. If you go through and browse what is nearby and not do the slot machine setup I have actually found a couple of fun place.

My favorite app is the soon-to-exist FlyerTalk app :D

Soon-to-exist or already-existing?

Maybe you can help clear it up...
