11. ESPN ScoreCenter 1.5.3
ESPN Inc.,www.espn.go.com
Sports fanatics with iPhones should download ESPN Scorecenter. It allows you to keep track of your favorite sports teams on a single page, read the latest analyses from ESPN, and provides push notifications when games start or teams score. Sportacular is also a smart sports app with similar score-tracking abilities, but we think ESPN’s design is a little cleaner.

12. Evernote 3.3.5

If you’ve got a memory that’s more emu than elephant, then Evernote can help you out. The app provides you with several ways to keep notes—including text, voice, and photos—and it gives you a way to access them from any desktop or phone with Evernote’s software. The simple interface makes it easy to write down important to-dos, locations, phone numbers, or just about anything you might need to reference at any time.

Facebook, www.facebook.com
If you’re an active social networker, you’re probably on Facebook. And if you have an iPhone as well, there’s no reason you shouldn’t be using this well-designed app. The home screen is a 3-by-3 grid that gives you access to almost everything Facebook has to offer. The app also integrates with the iPhone’s own features well, allowing you to call or text any friend who has publicly posted their number. This is a must-have app for iPhone users on Facebook.

14. Fandango 3.2.2

Looking for movie times on the go? Fandango is your friend. It can show you movie times, help you buy tickets, and show you user reviews of the latest blockbusters and indie flicks. Since some theaters sell tickets through competitor Moviefone, you should also download Moviefone’s app if you want to be able to buy tickets anywhere you go.

15. Flashlight. 2.1.1

As simple (or dumb) as it sounds, having a flashlight app on your iPhone or iPod touch is never a bad thing. Turn up the iPhone screen’s brightness and you can use it as a reading light, or even as a backup on a camping trip. If you feel like starting a party on the go, the app can display a strobe light or other light effects.

16. Foursquare 1.9.0

Foursquare, foursquare.com
Any modern social networker with an iPhone should be on Foursquare. It’s a hip, fun app where you check in to places you go physically and earn badges when you accomplish various things. It sounds a bit silly (and maybe it is), but there are rewards—being the person who checks in the most (called the “mayor”) at a restaurant can earn you a free meal, drink, or dessert.

17. Google Earth 3.0.0

17. Google Earth 3.0.0
Google, earth.google.com
Google Maps is fine and dandy, but Google Earth ups the ante and takes you to wherever you want in the world. You can digitally climb mountains, browse geo-tagged photos all over the word, check out city info with Google Local Search, and search in many languages. The latest version of Google Earth for iPhone includes road layers and native support for the iPad (which makes the app even cooler).

18. Groupon 1.1.0

18. Groupon 1.1.0
Groupon, www.groupon.com
Groupon offers decent-to-great coupons on stuff to do, see, eat, and buy in 65 cities. There’s one deal a day and if not enough people sign up, the deal is cancelled (hence the name Groupon). It’s a smart system that makes sure users and businesses alike get something from the deal. It even has a little green cred because with it you no longer have to print out coupons.

19. Kindle 2.1.1

Amazon.com, Inc., www.amazon.com
While Apple’s iBooks app might be slightly flashier, Amazon Kindle’s library has been around longer, has more titles, and works with more devices. For those who want to read on the cheap, Kindle also has a lot more free books for download. The app allows users to read the beginning of any e-book, making it a good shopping tool.

20. Mint.com Personal Finance 1.3

20. Mint.com Personal Finance 1.3
Mint.com, www.mint.com
Users of Mint.com know the site can help you keep detailed account of your finances. If you are new, just sign up and begin tracking your expenses. The iPhone app extends the experience, so users can keep track of their spending while on the go. Just enter a few data points in the iPhone, and you’ll be able to see your spending patterns as an easy-to-read chart. However, if your bank account is anemic, cool-looking animations probably won’t make you feel much better about it.
