Addicted to Facebook? After the tremendous success of the Facebook webapp for iPhone, the developers have come up with the Facebook app. This program is loaded on your iPhone and lets you be in touch with your buddies, maintain your status and do everything you can do on the Facebook website. The application is at once recognizable with the familiar Facebook icons and styling. The minimal display includes all the important tabs of Facebook: Home, Profile, Friends and Inbox, placed at the top of the screen. Update your status just as you can do with Facebook. After logging in, the first screen lists the list of buddies and their status refreshes. Selecting a friend opens up his profile. The application lets you browse photos and post messages just like the full Facebook site. The application also lets you chat with your friends just like a full-fledged chat client. The best thing is that it's free! Call a friend by entering his number or email them if these details are shown in his profile. The most interesting feature of this app is its ability to upload images. Take your favorite picture and upload it directly to Facebook with just a tap. The application reduces the time spent on loading the Facebook webpage. It is also less processor intensive. The screen though fairly spartan manages to keep all the basic features intact. The developers have some fantastic plans for future releases of this app. One of the most anticipated features is to use the iPhone to locate friends who are nearby. Though there have been criticisms of the screen, the Facebook app has been the most downloaded app from the iTunes site. And if the news getting around is to be believed, it only improves from here. The next app we focus on is Flixter. Thinking about which film to watch this weekend? Can’t locate reliable listings and reviews? Flixter is the answer to all these questions and more. This blockbuster application from Jeffery Grossman is a one stop movie information warehouse. The main page has films listed by popularity, rating and title. Each film has information about the cast, duration and user ratings. Not satisfied with the user rating? Well check out how your friends feel about it. Oh yes, the application also lets you check out ratings by friends. If the film is relatively new, the application tells you how many of your friends want to check out the movie. Amazing! Want to catch a glimpse of the film before actually watching it? Simply click on the movie icon and the application takes you to the high quality movie previews. Now you can truly decide whether that movie is really worth watching. You can also add your own rating to a film which gets updated to your Flixter profile. And now for the most amazing feature: The application lets you find the nearest theaters playing the movies you want to go and see. Wonder how? The application taps into the inbuilt GPS of the iPhone to find the theaters. It also maps out the easiest way to reach there. The application lets you choose the list of theaters by proximity and by name. Located your theater? Now check out the show timings and decide on a convenient show. The bottom menu also features a tab for DVDs. This tab lets you check if your favorite film is available on DVD. With these great features, all in a single app, it's hardly a surprise then that the application has been installed in excess of three million times and features among the leading apps for the iPhone.
