my little corner

I heart my iPhone. Yip, I love him so much that I get a little panicky when I can’t locate him within 5 seconds or less. Sad yes but oh so true. I have a slightly obsessive personality (not single white female obsessive but obsessive never the less) and I work in the digital space so it all is quite justifiable. Lately I have developed a new obsession with Runkeeper and tracking all my exercise. This gave me the idea for my latest blog post so here it is the top 5 iPhone apps I love.

5. Sleep cycle
It would seem I love tracking and analyzing stuff. I particularly enjoy the tracking and monitoring of pointless stuff like sleeping. So I have found a cool little free app called Sleep Cycle that tracks the type of sleep you get. The app records the time you go to bed and when you wake and charts by hour the type of sleep you get whether it be deep sleep, just sleep or if you’re awake. It also acts as an alarm clock and there is the usual “share” functionality via email or facebook. You never need to wonder why you wake up feeling so rubbish in the morning just check the app and see how much deep sleep you got. A word of warning though – this app tends to chew through the battery so make sure you have keep your phone charged throughout the night.

4. Chicktionary
My EBF introduced me to this addictive little word game – Chicktionary by Bing. The point of the game is to create different words from a jumbled list as letters. Play against the clock and get as many words as you can or find a set amount of words in a given time limit and earn ribbons. You can also challenge your friends and post your results on Facebook if you’re a nerd.
