Everyone loves using their iOS device for all kinds of music applications. An iPhone makes a great music player because of its streamlined interface and slew of available accessories. Of course, the key to really making the most of your iPhone as a full music device is applications. The App Store is filled with music applications, and some of them really go a long way towards making your iPhone an even better experience.SoundTracking is an example of an app that makes the iPhone a better device for music lovers. If offers all kinds of cool features that should make any music lover incredibly happy. It’s featured on our Best iPhone Apps page, and it’s there with good reason. If you are looking for an app that identifies music, shares it on social media, and is a fantastic social network in and of itself, you need to look no further than SoundTracking. It offers all the features a music lover needs on their iPhone, and it’s free, so there is no reason not to install it on your device and give it a shot.
When you launch SoundTracking for the first time, it will have you link it with either your Facebook, Twitter, or Foursquare account. After you link it, it will give you the option to connect it with other social media outlets for sharing your music. This last part is optional, and you can just link it with the network that you used to create your account. The app will have you create a username for SoundTracking, which is a quick process.app is divided into sections, which makes it easy to find what you need. The Feed is the first section, and this works like feeds on most social networks.

given some options to personalize what your friends and followers will see.

You can also include hashtags to let other SoundTracking users find your song. You can also add a photo and location to go along with the post if you should so choose. Once all that is done, you simply choose the other social networks to share on and click “Post.”
someone asks me to recommend an app that supports Flash videos on their iPad, I recommend Puffin Web Browser ($2.99). It’s an attractive and functional app, which is why it has been added to our Best of iPhone Apps page.
If
you’re new to Apple’s mobile devices, you might not know there’s no
default Flash support on iOS devices. Whenever you try to play a video
on your iOS device and it asks you instead to download Adobe Flash
Player, then you will need to try Puffin.
There are other good web browsers for the iPhone and iPad, including Atomic Web, Dolphine Browser, and Chrome.
But CloudMosa’s Puffin Web Browser 3.0, compatible with iOS devices
running iOS 5.0 or later, is the only one that downloads and plays Flash
videos without lots of hiccups and hanging.

MEDSCAPE:
comes to medical issues, the best way to find out what is wrong is
to go to a doctor. However, there is most certainly some value in
getting a general idea of what could be wrong before you pay a trip to
your local physician, using apps or the Internet. Of course, no medical
information app or website can replace the knowledge and skills of a
doctor, and that is something you most certainly need to keep in mind
before using an app like the one I am going to talk about today to
diagnose any kind of disease of condition.
Medscape is one of the best iPhone apps for finding out information about different medical conditions, and it’s made by Web MD,
so you know the information is good. Whether you are a person looking
to find out some more information about a condition that is affecting
you or a medical professional looking for a handy application to find
some facts about a condition, Medscape is the perfect application for
you.It has lots of information and an incredibly simple
interface. If you are looking for a medical app, this is the one you
want on your device.

APPLE REMOTE
controls are pretty basic, but it is enough to get the job done –
play, pause, rewind, forward. There is also a function where you can
rewind or forward 10 seconds either way. You can also run your finger
along the slider bar (shown in the screenshot above, under the Hobbit
artwork), to go to any point in the movie.
When I tested the app, everything worked perfectly. There was
never a problem with anything. And those are the kinds of apps that I love. Ones that work right away, as advertised.
Now let’s take a quick look at playing some music, and yes I like ABBA. What can I say? I was an 80′s child.
5.GOOGLE MAPS
Google Maps. It’s Google’s
Rocky Balboa, the comeback after that new kid on the block showed up – Apple Maps. It’s a great app, and it’s so great that it made our
Best iPhone Apps list.With
that said, I’ll assume that you are already aware of the basic features
of Google Maps – after all, it’s pretty simple. By merging the best
elements of the browser-based version of the app with standard GPS
functionality, Google has concocted a
highly reliable piece of mobile navigation software – Google maps for iPhone.
You
can search for an address, a location name, or even a general type of
destination (e.g. “restaurant”), and the app will present several
time-based route options via car, public transit, or foot. Directions
are displayed on an aesthetically-pleasing 3D map, but for those of you
who struggle with multi-tasking, a non-Siri voice can lead the way.
