Best iPhone & iPod Touch Apps For Twenty-Somethings

What are the best iPhone & iPod Touch apps for twenty-somethings?

As many of you guys know I finally gave in and purchased the Apple iPhone at the beginning of the year. I may not be the most tech savvy guy in the world but I at least try to keep up with the best iPhone applications so that I add more value to my iPhone purchase. I purchased the iPhone in January and I plan on keeping it for a few more years so I might as well make the most out of it!

The reason that I kept this list short and sweet is because there are so many iPhone/iPod Touch applications out there that I could list the top 500 applications. Just to keep it simple, today I will list my 4 favorite iPhone applications:

My Budget Money Management-

Best iPhone App For Money Management

This Apple application goes without saying as a must-have for anybody that remotely cares about personal finance. If you’ve ever wondered where you spend your pay checks then this iPhone app will definitely show you where your money goes. The key to this application is that you must be 100% honest. There is no purchase too small to input into this app. Another reason I love this app is because you can set up categories and monthly recurring expenses, so you can literally track where every penny goes. The only thing that sucks is that August-September is the worst time for college students to be keeping track of money because we have to hand so much over to school.

CheckPlease Tip Calculator-

Perfect iPhone/iPod Touch App For Splitting Bills

This iPhone application is perfect to use when you got out to dinner or to a bar with a bunch of buddies. We all have that one friend that tries to avoid tipping or tries to pay less for the bill than they owe. The tip calculator is the best iPhone app for those awkward moments when you try to calculate how much everyone in the group owes towards the bill/tip while the server waits to collect the money.

Evernote-

Quickly Growing iPhone App

Write whatever comes to mind, which I know can be some pretty crazy stuff. The ideal iPhone app for keeping track of a to-do list, important tasks or just jotting down random ideas. Evernote is quickly becoming one of the most popular iPhone 3G applications and I can’t say that I’m surprised because of the great features and user experience. I love this application because it allows me to jot down a great idea when I have one, no matter where I am at the time. It’s also great for reminding me of things that need to get done. Now when your girlfriend gives you trouble for forgetting to bring something you have no excuse, sorry guys.

Pedometer-

Perfect iPhone App For Fitness Lovers

The best iPhone or iPod Touch application when it comes to trying to keep track of those calories you want to burn after eating fast food or drinking beers all weekend. The main reason I wanted to mention this app because I know there are fitness freaks that read Studenomics. This iPhone app keeps track of the distance you travel whether you walk, job or run. Next time your parents call you lazy all you have to do is show them the results on the Pedometer app- but chances are they will tell you how back in their day they used to walk 15km to school one way.

I didn’t include any links for the iPhone applications because I didn’t want to make it seem like I was trying to sell anything. Keep in mind that these are only my favorite Apple iPhone apps and I didn’t discuss any apps I haven’t tried yet.
