The Tiger Text iPhone app has a very simple premise -- don’t let your text messages come back to haunt you. Unlike most text messaging services, TigerText lets you control how long a text will be stored on your recipient’s phone.

The official Facebook iPhone app is the most downloaded social networking app on iTunes. There’s a good reason for it -- the Facebook iPhone app is easy to use and closely replicates the real thing. Here's what you need to know about using Facebook on your iPhone.

Foursquare App Review

Foursquare is a social-networking app that helps users connect with friends and find new things to do in their hometowns. Even though the Foursquare app receives a ton of buzz, it’s only as good as the people who contribute to it. In smaller cities, the app just doesn't have enough users to be worthwhile.

Gowalla is one of many location-based social networking apps for the iPhone. If you like to tell your friends where you are and discover new things to do your city, the Gowalla app might be for you.

Meebo is one of many chat apps in the iTunes store, but it sets the standard. See why this social networking iPhone app is the one to beat when it comes to instant messaging and chatting.

Opera Mini Browser for iPhone Review

The Opera Mini Browser is the first real alternative to the iPhone's Safari browser. Even though it doesn't support Flash and has some weird zooming issues, the Opera Mini Browser is fast. This new app finally gives users a choice when it comes to mobile web browsing on their iPhones.

TweetDeck iPhone App Review

TweetDeck is just one of many iPhone Twitter apps, but it sets itself apart from the competition. Not only is it free, but TweetDeck also has a slick interface that makes it easy to manage multiple Twitter accounts and post quick tweets on the go. Overall, TweetDeck for iPhone is a great value.

Uface iPhone App Review

The Uface iPhone app helps you make realistic hand-drawn avatars for your social-networking sites. Uface is a tad expensive, but the app is fun to use and provides a great way to add some excitement to a boring avatar.

MLB.com At Bat iPhone App Review

Baseball season is underway and what better way to celebrate than with a new iPhone app? The MLB.com At Bat app is one option for baseball fans who want to track every minute of the upcoming season. The free baseball app is a pretty fantastic value, but I'm skeptical about paying $15 for the paid version.

Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball App Review

The Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball app allows users to manage their fantasy baseball teams right from their iPhone. However, even though some users say it's easy to manage their lineups, the Yahoo app is prone to crashing and freezing.

The How to Cook Everything iPhone app is a must-download for those who need a little help in the kitchen or those who want a handheld database of mouthwatering recipes. Based on the book How to Cook Everything by Mark Bittman, this iPhone recipe app has lots of nifty features.

Pro Baseball Live! iPhone App Review

There’s a huge market for iPhone baseball apps. At last count, the iTunes app store features nearly 500 apps related to baseball. As a result, competition is pretty fierce. Pro Baseball Live! does a lot of things well, but MLB.com At Bat Lite is a better option if you’re in the market for a free baseball app.

Twitter iPhone App Review

Tweetie was one of the most popular iPhone Twitter apps, but many wondered what would happen when the app was acquired by Twitter. Well, now we know -- Tweetie is now the official Twitter app, but the switch didn't come with many changes.

The Marvel iPhone app includes many popular comic series, including Wolverine, X-Men, Captain America, and Amazing Spider-Man. While the Marvel comics app offers a fantastic reading experience, the developers still have a few kinks to work out.

IDW Comics iPhone App Review

The IDW Comics iPhone app is a great choice for reading comics on the go. With an excellent reading experience and an easy-to-navigate interface, IDW Comics makes reading a joy. There is a glitch that happens when you download paid comics, but that’s one of the only downsides.

Fox News iPhone App Review

The Fox News app wasn’t around when we wrote our review of the best iPhone news apps a few months ago. Now that the news organization has finally released an app, we take a look to see how it stacks up against other heavyweights like AP Mobile, CNN or The New York Times.

2010 FIFA World Cup iPhone App Review

The 2010 World Cup is just around the corner, so now’s the time to download the best World Cup apps to your iPhone. One of the most popular options for the upcoming tournament is ESPN’s 2010 FIFA World Cup app, which includes soccer news, player profiles, and live audio.

iVerse Comics App Review

The iVerse Comics app takes everything we like about the IDW app and makes it even better. The app features a variety of comic publishers and the download process goes much smoother. After testing a number of comic apps, iVerse quickly became a favorite.

Panelfly Comics App Review

Panelfly has one of the best interfaces of any comic app we’ve tested, but some annoying crashes force us to downgrade its rating. Once Panelfly adds more comic publishers and fixes their stability issues, this app will be among the best -- if not the best.

ESPN Radio iPhone App Review

The ESPN Radio iPhone app is a must-download for sports fans. Not only does it offer numerous live sports stations, but you can also catch daily podcasts of popular ESPN shows. Even better, you can listen to it all in the background while doing other things on your iPhone.
