The MOST useful app that ANYONE could make is an Application that builds applications. so i could download this app and then use it to make/customize my own app. Build this and you've built everything

Mr. Fantastic · 4 months ago

A Google Chrome app would be useful. also... any app that lets my ipod use Flash Websites so you could play online games would be useful. And it might be impossible but If there was an App that let you play World of Warcraft on your iphone...

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.

kip2zip · 11 months ago

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.

Dan · 11 months ago

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.

DavidB · 11 months ago

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.

James Bannister · 11 months ago

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.

Markus · 10 months ago

a 2D FFT image converter then spatial filter-reconverter app!

Steve · 10 months ago

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.

Vasku · 7 months ago

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.

Renee · 6 months ago

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!!!

Plastonick · 6 months ago

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.

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!

jacob · 4 months ago

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.

A great iphone app would be that of either one in which a photo of someone could be merged with that of a celeb, this would be ideal for the social networking which is now available to everyone on the planet.
Also there could be an app which release's unofficial iphone news and rumours, ideal for the realese data of new Software and Hardware, many many people would log onto somethiing like that, including myself.
That would be very useful come JUNE 2010.

I'd love to see an app that can used at festivals like Electric picnic, it would show event timetables, location of tents, you could calc route, could show medic unit, police help, band comments etc etc. There is loads that could be included in this app and it may get some good coverage with the festival go-er, like me. :D

I would like to have an app that gives me all of the bar specials on a map. It would use the GPS to find the closest bar with the best deals.

William · 3 months ago

breath tester to see if you are over the drink drive limit would be a hit

dustooff · 3 months ago

...do with GPS on phone...



have a todo list (how unusual!)

that customises the ranking by detected location,

so the list might say for current location

-House

-take tools back to shed



I'm making the trip to the shed now and when I get there
the list says,

-Shed

-check on brew

-hit bag a few times

-check charge on battery (sticky with recurring)

-tidy up a bit (sticky with recur)

-repair garden tools



I'm done in the shed now. going for a trip into town,


-Town

-Hardware1

-Get new tap fitting

-get some glue type stuff

-painters tape

-Bakery

-My favorite loaf

-Pie or sausage roll
-just so happens there is a flower shop next door, get some for S.O.

-Newsagent

-Current mags (sticky with recurring) (current month checked)

-Lotto ticket



Weekend's over, going back to work Mon morn,


-Travel1

-Check fuel (usually a sticky for cheapest time of week 'Tue' )



-Work

-Complete task 1

-Takeaway lunch today

-send email to Roger

-update tasklist for week (sitcky recurring weekly)





the Catergories Work, Travel1, Town, etc are actual waypoints or a range of waypoints, that enable the app to trigger a sound when you reach that particular location.

Todo notes can be text or a link to a voice recording. When alerted by the TODO list, you acknowledge and it displays the list, and plays any prerecorded notes.

The notes can also have a time tag on them so that they only get triggered during certain hours of the day or week.

eg Travel1 can bring up multiple diff lists if day or night, traveling to or from work, weekend or workday, etc.

Notes could also have an actual alarm if needed to be performed at or before a certain time.



The app could be implemented as a plugin for other applications...

an app that would encript outgoing text messages based on a code entered just before sending. The recipient would need the same code to decript the message after receipt. The intent would be to thwart unauthorized interception of messages.

I would like to see a recording app for the iPhone 3g that not only let's you monitor the volume of the recording as you make it, but also let's you adjust the recording volume. I have searched all over for an app that does this with no luck. Is this a hardware limitation? Can anyone help?

An App that checks into Southwest Airlines, by simply entering the traveler;s baording info and the time that is 24 hours in advance of check in. That way, you don't have to sit by your computer and keep hitting refresh.

I'm looking for an app that will demonstrate a variety of apertures for a camera lens
Ideally showing actual aperture for different lenses, this would show that aperture is dependent on focal length

I'm looking for a simple application that would allow you to see your Photo Album as file names, instead of the image thumbnails on the iPot Touch. I work in the medical field and have several x-rays I need to look at each day. The patient's name is the image file-name. So, I can see 50 chest x-ray thumbnails but have no clue who the patient is. Ideally the program would allow browsing by file name (list) within each album, and would have an option for the file name to display at the bottom of each image as you browse through in slideshow mode.

iphone app that allows you to play a song from your phones music library to the person whom you are on the line with. both parties are still able to talk to one another while song is playing. ability to control volume of music vs voice.

Ralf · 1 month ago

I am looking for an app that will pick up the phone and, depending on who is calling and preferably with an easily editable time schedule, give a specific voicemail greeting. That way I could for example tell the customers that are forwarded from my work phone, that their call can not be taken right now, while my friends can get a mssg that tells them where I am, or that they can reach me via ichat.
A time schedule would also make it possible to tell people we're closed when they call in weekends or nights, while they might get another greeting telling them to try again in a minute or try a different number at times when I should have picked up the phone.

Jeremy Weist · 1 month ago

It would be nice to have an app like TextSoap for the Mac. Something that you can modify the contents of your clipboard in many different ways such as changing the case of the text, performing a find and replace, extract URLs, and other types of text management.

tim · 2 weeks ago

not sure exactly if something like this exists but the ability to block calls from groups of contacts would be great so when i am at work i can block calls from friends or the other way round.
