Top 5 free application for iPhone, iPad or iPod

[idan]

Apple has just released a top of its most popular applications of last year. It was just announced, that iPhone, iPad and iPod users downloaded over 18 billion applications from the iTunes App Store, so the industry is getting pretty big. Here’s a list of the most exciting apps Apple costumers have the opportunity of getting their hands on for free.

The Weather Channel

Is splendid for costumers looking for the most accurate weather information there is. What’s impressive about it is the fact that behind the app there’s a full staff of 200 meteorologists who work using the TruPoint weather technology just to bring you all you need to know in order to plan your day safely. It features interactive maps, hourly and 10-day forecasts and video of amazing weather coverage (if available)

Groupon

This is a discount app. It allows users, to get a list of discount offers in the area of choosing. Once they find whatever they are looking for, costumers can purchase without leaving the app if they have a credit card linked to their account. You can buy, accept Groupons, and find the closest sources for discounts, all in one app. The deals features are unfortunately available only for people living in U.S. and Canada.

Words with Friend

This is a fun game that has managed to gather up to 20 million players. Build words, triple score and chat with friends, all with this free little app. The game might look like Scrabble, but it’s not. It’s still a crossword challenge, but the rules are different, as is the board layout. Is still challenging as any crossword puzzle, without a dictionary.

Skype

Yes, the popular service has reached the iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch and it’s all for free. Skype is great for travelers and home bound persons alike. Go to the App store and download the application. Open it on your iDevice and sign in with your Skype account. Tap Go online and here it is! Now you can connect with your friends from across the world.

Pandora Radio

The wonderful thing about this app is that it streams music you will be able to enjoy for sure on your iPhone. The key being “for sure”. Of course, there are other great radios out there on the web, but most of them just stream randomly without having the faintest of clues about what you would actually like. Not Pandora, the cool tweak about it, is that it will play only songs you will like, based on an algorithm called the Music Genome Project who analyzed nearly 400 different song attributes. After you hear each song, you have the option of telling Pandora whether you like it or not. Thus Pandora uses this valuable info to build you, your very own playlist.
