TomTom GPS iPhone App $100

The key attributes to become one of the leading iPhone applications are uniqueness and practicality. Uniqueness is an important trait for top iPhone apps because they have to compete with numerous other apps in the market. However, uniqueness alone does not always guarantee quality. The app must also be useful and offer other benefits, whether it’s entertainment or amusement, to ensure its popularity and worth as a purchase. Ultimately, if an iPhone app meets these two criteria, it will succeed regardless of its price.

Think Outside the Box

Since most iPhone applications involve platform games, trivia games, or organizer systems, designers must think outside the box to avoid falling into the “Follow the leader” trap. For example, there is an iPhone app that allows you to explore the culinary delights of London B52 - Wade Crawley is back with a great B52 concert review! If you remember, Wade wrote for us Punk music in the late seventies. Now read his new exclusive article for ManuelMarino.com! The B52’s, London Roundhouse It was on a hot and very sweaty summer night in London’s trendy Camden and a packed audience of all… if you ever visit there. It provides up-to-date and accurate assessments of every bar and restaurant, ensuring an affordable and excellent dining experience. You won’t have to settle for eating at a hotel lobby out of fear that nearby restaurants might be expensive or not to your taste. It can’t get more unique than that.

There are also apps that offer services similar to frequently visited websites, such as a free dictionary and thesaurus database containing almost 2 million words, antonyms, synonyms, and definitions that you can access without an internet connection. Other useful websites now come in the form of apps, including code translation sites, satellite map websites for GPS tracking, dictation software that converts your speech into text, and even cloud-based apps (cloud computing is the future of pay-per-use office applications). Never underestimate the power of creative functionality, as the best iPhone apps are the ones that make you think, “Why didn’t I think of that?”

Quality App Traits and Characteristics

However, innovative functionalities are not always the sole determinant of iPhone app supremacy. Sometimes, efficiency is influenced by seemingly trivial details such as the intuitiveness of the app’s interface or the ability to avoid common glitches. This is also why the original innovator of an idea doesn’t always receive recognition; someone else who chooses to follow the leader and make minor tweaks and improvements to the idea often ends up receiving the glory. For example, while the aforementioned dictation software is highly valuable, it is not an entirely original idea. However, its predecessors were error-ridden, clunky, and slow disasters that were not worthwhile.

As a result, any dictation software that can correctly spell complex words like “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” on the first attempt sets the definitive standard for dictation apps. Another aspect of a great iPhone app involves providing incentives that make users want to use it more without feeling cheated out of their money. For instance, there’s a document sharing iPhone app that allows you to share a substantial 2 gigabytes of data for free. If you need more storage (which you usually won’t), that’s the only time you will be required to pay. Setting up and signing up for this app is also effortless. Finally, the best indicator that you have a worthwhile app is that once you start using it, you can’t imagine life without it. Even if it’s something as basic as a note organizer, if it offers convenience that you can rely on in the future, it is a worthwhile purchase.
