Few mobile devices are as relied upon and heavily used as Apple’s wildly popular iPhone, thanks largely to their marketing departments and the power of the App Store. While there are a variety of paid applications on the market for iPhone users to use that perform all types of different wonders, many of the best and most regularly used apps powered by the iPhone are free. These are 10 of the free apps that people tend to use on a daily basis:
SoundHound
You’ll never have to struggle to find the name of a great song you hear in passing ever again with this incredibly useful and free app, which automatically detects the song that you’re listening to in as little as four minutes. With the world’s fastest music-recognition capabilities and a LiveLyrics feature that turns your iPhone into an impromptu portable karaoke party, you’ll definitely use SoundHound heavily.
Dolphin Browser
Ranked number two on CNET’s 100 list, Dolphin Browser is a powerful and effective free iPhone browser that allows you to navigate the many features of your mobile device quickly and with relative ease.

Words With Friends Free
Even the busiest iPhone user has a bit of downtime on occasion, which is why one of the most popular games in the mobile-device world is Words With Friends. Addictive and interactive, Words With Friends lets you pass the time spent waiting in line and in sitting in waiting areas by playing a game that looks suspiciously like Scrabble.

Skype
Who doesn’t know what Skype is? The main reason behind the success of Skype is its extremely cheap calling rates. I am myself a diehard fan of Skype and communicate with a lot of my friends through Skype. The iPhone application for Skype has a good voice quality with free VOIP calls if you have a 3G network or have a Wi-Fi connection to internet. The international dialing rates are cheaper and with Skype, you also have the flexibility to have number of whatever location in the world you want.
Google Voice
Google Voice is not available as an application for iPhone but the latest Google Voice release of HTML 5 can cover the gap. You can try making an icon and placing it on your home screen yourself. The app not only allows you to make outgoing calls but gives you the ability to send SMS, configure settings and turn on “Do not disturb” feature. The facility to view your inbox along with listening to voice mail messages is awesome.
Lost It
This application is however free but its worth is not less than a paid application. The aim of the application is to lose some weight. I hope those of you who want to lose your weight would already have tried to download the app while reading this article. The application contains a complete database of food items along with the number of calories they will add to your body. Apart from that, you can add your own food items. There’s a feature to add the exercises you have performed in the whole day which will let the application calculate your daily budget of calories you can eat. Lost It! app has recently included a feature which lets you quest with your friends in the mission of losing weight.
WordPress2
All the solutions of today are satisfying the motto of “On the GO”. Being a blogger, I need to write new posts, edit previous ones to include additional details and reply to the comments posted by my readers on my Medifast and Nutrisystem coupons blog. The application provides with all the features of WordPress admin panel. You can read the questions or reviews posted as comments by your readers and respond to them, can create new blog posts and pages, check photos and customize your blog setting as well.
AppMiner
The application lists a number of applications under different categories. You have the ability to search for free or paid apps. However, a lot of applications listed here are crap but you could find good ones too by checking the top rated applications tab. They will definitely tell you some good ones to download to your iPhone.
This is the first time I’m hearing about SoundHound.. sounds like that trademark song-finder from Sony Ericsson? Should check that out. Thanks!
