Hello iPhone Apps!
That’s definitely my sentiment as a new iPhone user. The trouble is that Apple offers so many different web applications that I’m not sure where to start. Plus, there are a plethora of sites dedicated to iPhone hacks and other applications, like Apple iPhone School, that it’s hard to know who to trust and what applications actually solve challenges versus just waste time.
I decided to start simple.
My first immediate need was to satisfy the Twitter fiend in me when my laptop is inaccessible. I did a little research and read up on a few different Twitter apps for the iPhone and found the following apps to be the most recognized and widely used:
This post by the creator of Hahlo is what convinced me to give it try and honestly I’ve loved it so much that I haven’t felt the need to try the others (accept Twitter Moblie, which of course is exactly like Twitter, great but limited).
The UI/UX of Hahlo is great. It’s nice to look at, the icons are the perfect size for fingers, the design is intuitive and there is literally no learning curve. Some of the added bonuses include a very quick load time, and the ability to reply @ someone, dm someone, and favorite a tweet simply by tapping on the appropriate icon available to the right of every tweet.
I’m pretty much in love with Hahlo at the moment. It’s definitely made my twitter following fast and fun. Of course it would be nice if there were ways to adjust settings (like refresh frequency) and if there were more tips available on the site, but overall I’m super impressed and looking forward to more updates.
First iPhone app down only a hundred million left to go!
Are there any iPhone applications that you love? Definitely leave me a comment and let me know what I am missing.
