The launch of iPhone 4 and iOS 5 made this year particularly special for app lovers. The app store is brimming with exciting apps, and you can find a good app for almost everything. 2011 has also seen a large number of wonderful apps come out of iPhone application development. It's not easy to form a conclusive list of the best free apps available this year as some really good apps are bound to be left out in such a short list.
Needless to say, the below list is affected by my personal likes and dislikes. I've tried to maintain a balance between the most popular examples of iPhone 4 app development this year and technological marvels that bring credit to the talented iPhone OS 4 developer who built them. But you can count on one thing: you will never regret downloading any of the following apps on your iPhone.
5. RunKeeper
Track your running or cycling route, count the distance you have traveled, check out different routes on the map, and even find out how many calories you have burnt. Not just that: this app also lets you share your statistics online and compare them with that of other users. In case you are running on the treadmill, you can manually enter the details to ensure that the app takes all your exertions into account.
4. Find My iPhone
This one is a personal favorite. My blessings and eternal gratefulness to the iPhone OS 4 developer who built this essential app. Using this app, you can log on to your Apple account to find the location of your iPhone (as long as your iPhone is connected to the internet). You can also make your iPhone emit a loud, blaring sound (even if it is on silent mode)! For anyone who loses their iPhone more than 3 times a day, this is a must-have app.
3. Evernote
Evernote has emerged as the best productivity app of the year. It is a prime example of how iPhone 4 app development can come up with apps that you can't live without once you've used them. On the face of it this is just a remarkable straightforward note-taking application; however, its greatest plus point is its ability to synchronize all your files and save them on a cloud.
2. Facebook
Considering the fact that, more likely than not, you spend a large chunk of your free time (and working time too, perhaps) on Facebook, this is an app your iPhone thirsts for. While the earlier versions of the Facebook app left a lot to be desired, the new version is a testament to the capability of iPhone 4 application development.
1. Google Search
This radical search app is what you'd expect from the people who created the best search engine ever. The accomplishments of this app would make every iPhone OS 4 developer proud: not only does the app allow you to search by simply saying a word, it even lets you search images using the photographs you click through your iPhone!
