We are embarking on the development of the SwiftMobile iPhone application, so I’ve been downloading apps like crazy.  Here is a  list of my current favorites:

(Free) Lose it is hands down the best weight management app in the iPhone store.  It creates a weight loss plan for you based on your goals, age, current weight and then allows you to track your progress by tracking food and exercise.  Beautifully designed by Paul DiChristina who is doing our iPhone app UI work.

(Free) Mint.com’s iPhone app is a gorgeous extension of its online service.  If you are a mint user, then having access to all of your financial information on your phone is extremely useful.

(Free) I use the Evernote app all the time.  I can input information from my desktop and know that it will be immediately accessible over the phone.  I use this for shopping lists, travel information, directions.  A must-have.

(Free) Weather Channel is the best free app for tracking weather forecasts.

Twittelator Pro is my preferred Twitter iPhone app.

(paid) Tube New York gets my from A to B on the New York subway.  I love this one.

(paid) The New York Times crossword puzzle app is my newest addiction.  Got to wait in line at the pharmacy?  No problemo.  Just work on today’s puzzle.  The interface is great and the app times you against all other players.  (I never seem to get above 450 but the timer keeps me going.)
