Late last year, my husband's friend gave him his used 2nd generation iPod touch. My husband already had a 4th generation iPod touch so I was fortunate enough to get the used one. As soon as I started using it, I was hooked, but since it was a 2nd generation I couldn't get all the apps I wanted. For my 44th birthday last month, my husband got me a 4th generation iPod Touch. I just love it!
I thought I would share some of my favorite apps with you:
Bible Apps:
YouVersion: free I love this Bible app that is loaded with multiple Bible versions including audio and loads of reading plans and devotionals. I used it to read the Bible in 90 days and I'm currently reading the Essential Jesus plan as well as the Chronological Bible.
Touch Bible: free Another Bible app that I like to use especially when I am not at home with wi-fi.
Bible.is: free I only just recently downloaded this one. It has Bible, audio and video as well.
Pocket Sword: free This Bible app has Bible, commentary, dictionary and devotionals.
Granny's Bible Dojo: $1.99 This app is sort of for kids but I like it too. It teaches the Bible books in order. you can try a demo here. (This is one of the apps that I couldn't get for my 2nd gen.)
Calendars and Social Media:
CalenGoo $6.99 This one is a little expensive but I LOVE it. I can use it offline and I have switched over from a paper calendar in my pocketbook to just using my iPod touch. I was already dependent on my Google calendar so this just made sense for me. It took me a long time to decide to get this but I'm very happy with it.
G-Whizz $2.99 This is my main app for G-mail, Facebook, Twitter, News and reading blogs through my RSS feed. There is a free version available as well that I used for a while before buying it. This one did not work very good with my 2nd generation iPod but works great on the new one. I really love this app.
Other handy apps I love
iBooks free This one is great for reading your pdf documents. I haven't used it for downloading e-books yet but I know you can do that too.
Evernote free If you don't know about Evernote you can read about it here. I have used this for taking notes at meetings and even sermon notes. It's a very handy app for saving all kinds of information.
TOS magazine free When I first heard that The Old Schoolhouse Magazine was going digital I think I probably groaned. I disliked reading on my computer. I still dislike reading on my computer but I love reading TOS on my iPod. I have read more in the digital magazine than I ever made time for when I was getting the paper version.
My FitnessPal free This app keeps track of calories, water, exercise and just helps you if you're tracking any of that. Very handy.
Games for the Kids (and Mom)
Stack the States $.99 Fun game for learning about the states. There is a free "lite" version too. (Also look for Stack the Countries.)
Presidents Vs. Aliens $.99 Fun game for learning about the presidents. (Also available in a free "lite" version.)
Word Bingo $.99 and Math Bingo $.99 are fun, educational games for younger kids. My kids like these.
Scramble with Friends $.99 My current favorite word game. I LOVE to play this. It's a fast paced word game like Boggle. (A free version is available.) I also like Words with Friends.
Chicktionary free Another fun word game where you make as many words as you can with the letters provided.
I have other apps that I like too but I think I've shared enough for now. Do you have something you love that you want to share? Please do. I love to try new apps.
