ragbak and call100,

thanks a lot, I downloaded both apps and must say both are phantastic in their on right. Distant Suns is free and very well done, Star Walk makes use of all the iPhone's locating and motion capabilities (3GS) and, for currently €2.39, is a real gem.

FLT Calculator CAA CAP 371 UK: just out and quite good

Time Calculator : For adding up those logbook hours
AeroWeather : Excellent
Airports


WeatherPro : absolutely brilliant (non aviation) wx app.

Plane Finder: thought it would be rubbish, but it's actually quite good.

What are your favorite aviation apps on these devices?

I really like ForeFlight and use it often.

I think they are all listed in this thread in one way or another.
Just do a slow read through and you will get them all....

Top iPhone 4 FREE apps

What, in your opinion, make for some of the best FREE apps for the new 4?

Are there any FREE apps out there, that us pilots would find useful?

HAve a look in the computer part of PPRUNE, there's various threads about the iPhone and apps and maybe you'll get a better answer there than in JB (where you're leaving yourself open to things, believe me!!)

Here's what the mighty forum search threw up at me, enjoy

iPhone apps

A cold grey Sunday afternoon so time to play with my Xmas pressy.

The little Flashes have bought their dinosaur an iPhone. What is the best/worst/whatever iPhone app of an aviation nature???

Not aviation, but I'd recommend the following.

Appbox
BatteryDoctor
Camscanner+
Dragon Dictation
Dropbox
Kindle for iPhone
Flight Status
Informant
Shazam
Skype (for calls when abroad)
Sky+ (if you have Sky it lets you set up recordings at home on the fly)
Spotify
Stanza
TrainTimes
Weatherpro (in addition to Aeroweather)
WunderRadio

Depending on how much travel and who you fly with then, KLM; BA and the OneWorld alliance all have useful apps for airline travel.
WorldMate is good if you do travel lots and need hotels etc as well a flights.
AeroWeather is a great app. Hurricane, PilotWiz and Measures are all pretty useful, as is the Met Office App. Snowtam is also pretty useful.
World Time is a handy app if you have to call/travel round the world lots.
iHud and Flight Control are good for a bit of fun.
