Favorite iPod Touch Apps


Yup, I admit it – I’m an app junkie.  I love looking for new apps for my iPod and trying them out.  Here’s a list of some of my favorites.  And who knows, maybe you’ll enjoy some of them too.  And, if you have any recommendations for me, leave them in the comments below!  Happy reading!

Couch-to-5k: This app is great for beginning runners that want to get in shape, and do so in a non-harsh way.  Though I haven’t used this app as much as I would like, I really loved the way it was set up, and the way that the running programs work when you are actually working out.  The basic idea of the app is that it trains you for a 5k, but it’s also a great training tool if you just want to get into shape.

Mixology: This app, in case you can’t guess, pretty much lists any possible drink that you can imagine, along with the recipes to make them.  For someone that only recently turned 21, this app has been great (especially when I was out for my bday!) and has really given me ideas on what type of drinks I would like.  My personal favorite? The woo-woo!

MyFitnessPal: This app is great for those of us that want to keep track of the amount of calories we consume on a daily basis and how our own exercise affects it.  The app is really simple to use and figure out, and is highly beneficial if you are looking to watch your food intake without going on a super intense diet.
Instagram: This app is great for taking pictures and sharing them with friends.  I love using it to post pics to my twitter account to show my followers what is going on in my life in a way that is different than just tweeting it with words.  Plus, the variety of filters and effects that it comes with make it super fun to play around with!

Tiny Tower: A long-time favorite game, I figured I’d mention this app again (I did a full blog post on it a while ago).  I’m not quite as addicted to this game as I once was, but it still definitely falls under my top ten list of apps, if I were to make one.  Haven’t tried it out yet?  Give it a go, you don’t know what you’re missing!

  1. Thanks for sharing! I'm a pretty huge app junkie as well, so I definitely understand where you are coming from! I haven't tried out Tiny Tower either, but I'll most likely give it a try later tonight. I'd say my biggest obsession on my device right now is DISH Remote Access. I'm constantly on the go for business, so I use it mainly during those times I face a lot of downtime in airports and such. My friend I work with at DISH got me a Sling Adapter some time ago, so I mainly just use the app to watch all of my favorite shows, live or recorded, anywhere I go in the world. It's especially nice to have when I know I'll be half way across the country missing my favorite shows! :)
