10 Best Free Apps of 2011
There’s plenty of jammin’ iPhone apps that won’t cost you a
cent. 2011 was another great year for Apple, despite the loss of its fearless
leader, Steve Jobs. In honor of the media giant, or as I like to call it, the
Big Apple, here’s my top 10 apps of 2011.
1. Bible - Join over 35 million people who read, listen and share God’s Word using the Bible App, myself included. At press time (I always wanted to say that), I am 78% done reading the Holy book, which is much farther than I’d be without this app. There’s a huge selection of 200+ free Bible versions and 200+ plans to help you track your progress. My favorite part? Bible will read to you with its audio feature – complete with theme music, sound effects, and voices- oh my!
2. Angry Birds Free – Unlike Facebook,
which one could argue can also be used for the “research” and “educational”
purposes, as well as sheer time-wasting; Angry Birds is a one trick
time-wasting pony. But spend a couple Angry hours chasing pigs and you’ll
discover what a gratifying waste of time it is.
3. Facebook – Let’s not try to pretend youwaste spend far more time on this site than an other. And why not when it’s just as easy to update your status strolling down the sidewalk as it is from the comfort of your bedroom. Notice: Facebooking while walking may result in running into doors, light posts, railings, and other pedestrians. For the students, warning...Facebook may also decrease your grade point.
4. Redbox – Movie rentals for only $1.20 a pop? Major DUH… Download the free
app to reserve your copy of the hottest new releases before your roommate can
beat you down to Wal-Mart to pick it up. Winning!
5. PandoraFree/Spotify (tie) – Gone is the age of illegal MP3 pirating, welcome to
the largest free and legal music library you could ever want. Pandora makes it
easy to discover new artists with a similar sound to musicians you already dig,
and save your stations for later listening. Spotify’s coolest feature? You can
link it to Facebook (#3), and swap playlists with friends, or tell all your
friends what you’re listening to. You know, because they care.
7. Groupon – In this economy you can’t afford
to not be a savy shopper, Groupon is
by far one of the best coupon apps out there, bringing deals up to 90% off
straight to your phone. You’ll only see deals in your area (Billings/Bozeman is
an option), so you won’t be left drooling over the 2 for one skydiving
adventure in Houston, TX. Discover deals on dining,
travel, excursions, goods, electronics, and more!
8. SparkPeople – Keep your fitness spark
alive with the iPhone Food & Fitness Tracker. This app is designed to help
you track your weight loss progress or healthy lifestyle goals with a calorie
tracker, access to meal plans, a log for your fitness and calories burned, and more.
Detailed weight and calorie reports give you feedback on your progress, and the
app will fully sync with your current SparkPeople.com online account.
9. IWBNIN (I Was Broke Now I’m Not) –
Budgeting is now easier than ever thanks to this app with built in categories
for multiple income sources, various expenses, and common monthly costs such as
gas, rent and groceries. Best feature? The app automatically calculates the
percentage of your income that goes to each expense so you can track where most
of your hard earned dollars are going.
10. NFL Mobile – Summons the magical powers
of knowing where the ball is, the score, quarter, and stats of your favorite
football teams whenever they’re playing without interrupting your flourishing
social commitments. Now that’s dedication.
I am seriously getting some playing time out of #9, #7, #3, and #1... Which ones would you use the most?

| Bahaha... unfortunately, this can be all too true. |
I hope your weekend was amazing and you're recharged to have other great week... I'm excited for my new Bombshell eating plan that starts tomorrow and reffing some more basketball this week. Good times!
Blessings,
Ruthie xoxo
