  • A note application that sync's with the Mac. Please!
  • I'd tell you but.....then how would I get rich???
  • Scott try Evernote it's free and it syncs beautifully with the mac. It's a gift from heaven!

  • There needs to be a geocaching application that can look up where you are (should be easy to do this with locate me). It should then go to the geocaching.com website and download a list of what geocaches are nearby, and put them on a google map with an option of picking one by touching it, and then it will bring up the cache page listing in Safari with the ability to switch back and forth between the info on the cache page, and a live (where you are) GPS locating page which will use the coordinates from the cache info page in comparison to where you are to tell you how far, and in what direction (compass).. or at least compare them on the screen if a compass isn't doable. Trimble has a caching program out for other phones but no plans have been announced with regards to the iPhone. So far my research indicates there are no iPhone geocaching apps. There needs to be one, it's very important to hundreds of thousands of geocachers out there who may have an iPhone already or are considering buying one. Call it a purchase decision maker...
  • an ringtone maker app right in the palm of your hands, duh'
  • Hey. I have two ideas;

    1. Alarm clock app that wakes you up with a random song from your library. And for the ones who just can't get up in the morning, you can turn on an option. If you have this turned on, you have to shake the phone until it stops playing.

    2. App that makes the volume buttons to camera button when you are taking photos. Would much easier to hold the camera straight while taking photos.
  • Givin the graphic and accelerometer capabilities of the iPhone/touch I wild love to see someone design a tricorder just another crazy way to impress your friends without one.
  • How about an application that allows you to tag your Aperture pictures you've got on the iPhone in a handy way, and later syncs back those tags into Aperture?

    That way you can kill time by tagging some pictures, without having to spend time in fornt of a monitor doing this dull task.
  • This would be amazingly easy and probably a huge success... You make 12 apps, and basically someone would download each app and use it for one of their pages on the iphone, and each app you can assign a pic, and then you can assign a number, basically making your "favorites" as people to click, and you can have up to 12 and would just be another little section on the iphone.
  • A Pokedex app! This would be huge! I'd pay for it. It's practically just an advertisement though but it would still be kinda fun.
  • I'd like to see an app that would allow the user to delete ALL downloaded email within an account. (Yeah, there's a way to do it by using IMAP rather than POP3, but it's clunky, and not useful for the average user).

    Anyone who receives hundreds of emails would go for this app in a heartbeat.
  • I would like an app that calculates the efficiency of a basketball player. The user would keep stats for their son/daughter during the game. As stats are entered, by tapping a button, the efficiency is updated.

    I have created a html file that does this but would like to see it done as an app.
  • a 2D FFT image converter then spatial filter-reconverter app!
  • I think I have a winner! I named it ”iFall.” It is for Personal Safety. Targeting the energetic and or the elderly iPhone users. The app could text, email or call an emergency contact of your choice should you become unconscious from injury, heart attack or assault. It would use the built accelerometer to detect a non standing position. http://www.ifall.com for better description.
    -Thanks, Steve
  • I think this would be a hugely popular app: An app that creates a mosaic based on the photo of your choosing, comprised of a bunch of images of your choosing, either from Camera Roll or Google photos, etc. In other words, you start with a picture, say a photo of yourself. Then you show the app where a bunch of your other images are. Then the app uses these images to recreate the photo of yourself, matching the colors of the images to the photo, and making a personalized mosaic. How awesome would that be?
  • Love to see a new App created for the Iphone which permits you to use the Anglers Almanac currently available in all good fishing stores. An electronic version which compensates for actual geographical location would be awesome. Someone smart out there must be able to make this work.
  • There are many business executives that cannot get into their outlook mail. The Microsft exchange is great but many IT Admins will not allow due to security concerns. So for many of us former Blackberry folks used to real time e-mail we are stuck with getting outlook mail via Microsoft Web Access via Safari.

    What is needed is a Microsoft Web Access App this would allow real time e-mail through the web without the perceived secuirty concerns.
  • There is computer game that I think would be a great app it's name is bowman and the point of it is to hit the other person with a bow arow you have to pull back and release the arow and the first person to hit the enemy three times wins. I don't tell me what you think. I think it would be a great app.
  • I am looking for a photorating app that let's me rate my aperture library and let's those ratings be seen next time I sync with my Aperture library. Perhaps even makes a new album (iphone selection), tagging would be nice too, perhaps by double tapping followed by a gesture or direction for basic quick tagging.
  • Someone please develop and app that will help MobileMe assign ringtones to contacts so that they wouldn't get lost every time it syncs. PLEASE!!!
  • An external SMS application that uses FishText's (www.fishtext.com) services without the bulky internet demands that navigating within the site demands. FishText is a fast growing internet SMS provider and one that certainly lacks where the iPhone is concerned.
  • When the alarm rings, it shows your plan for the day.
  • I would like to see an app where with the gps and frequency detection and alarm sounds in the phone, you put the phone on the dash of your car and it becomes a radar detector.
  • It would be really cool to be able to make small animations on your ipod
    Preferally something like flash or pivot
  • An AE lock for iphone camera please! Shooting a person against bright background and he/she becomes a sillouette? Use the aperture lock! Shooting something on bright white wall and it goes dark? Use the aperture lock!
  • There are some Countries, where kidnapping happens too often, and these criminals then check victim's cell phones for new victims. No problem, you can block your phone right ? but if you're kidnapped, they may force you to provide them the unblock password. I think there should be a way to introduce an alternative password that would enable a fully blank environment with no contacts, no emails and no recent phone calls. This way, anyone in case of an emergency could give out this password and not compromise friends, relatives or any one else who may be stored on their cellphone.
  • a game idea that has "money" written all over it. for sure to sell big time but need programers and a couple artists. email me ASAP! Davidjoeross@gmail.com
  • I would REALLY like to see a modern adaptation of Spy vs. Spy. I think there could be a lot done with the features the iPhone/touch have. Good luck!
  • I would love to see the iPhone work more seamlessly with my mac. Not sure if it's possible but how cool would it be to be able to click on a number on a contact or on a web site from you mac and have your phone start calling it, or when your iPhone rings all the way across the room a pop up comes up and tells you who is calling. Or if there was some iTunes proximity control. I have a mac mini for my media center and would love it if when I left my apartment the mini would pause iTunes because the iPhone was out of wifi or bluetooth range. Or if I get a call on my iPhone iTunes would pause. And actually there is an app that does this for some other phones called Remeo. I would love to see that concept taken to the next level for the iPhone.
  • I have an idea that will make everyone want to swich to iPhone. Trust me. 90% of iPhone owners would want to have it. It's money saver. And it will take care of lot of people's headaches.
    But I won't spoil the idea unless I can be compensated appropriately.
