View Full Version : Are you a Appoholic?

100.000 Applications in the store - the AppStore! You just want that app, you need that app - it really makes your life better when that app is on your iPhone Springboard!
I must admit - I'm Appoholic!!
It's like clothing, cars etc. You need something better, something that looks better - something that completes you. A iPhone app is something you need in the daily use, something that makes your life easier! But what if your buying these apps every time you see something new, more fancy, a "I really need this app in my life" kind of app!?...then you're a Appoholic...like me!
Is it bad to be a Appoholic? No! When I bought the iPhone, I bought it for the look, the touch-screen and of course all the great features. I also knew that there will be more and more new great apps in the AppStore, and I knew I had to change these over time, and use a fair kind of money on these "upgrading"...(I'll guess it easier to call them upgrades, so it feels right).
Bottom line is, if your like the iPhone, if it really makes your life better and easier everyday, then it's okay to visit this great BIG store, the AppStore every now and then.......
My best to Apple! :ok:ok

I have 140 apps now on my iPhone. I paid for about half of those. I do check out the AppShopper daily, but I am starting to scale back. I will only wait until there are exceptional apps that are unique and way above the others. So many apps have similarities such as tower defense games or certain utilities. I have to agree though, apps are my favorite thing about this iPhone and the one feature I use more than even the phone itself.

I've already filled all my screens, and was beginning to rely only on spotlight to find the app I wanted to run. After a recent Tom Tom update, I ended up deleting some of my useless apps to clear room.

I have a lot of apps, too, but I don't think we'll get a real sense of the true scope of the problem. After all, true Appoholics wouldn't even have time to post here.

SHEEET! I've got 10 pages.
Pg 1-16 apps - all Factory Apps that came with the phone. I like to keep it that way.
Pg 2-15 apps
Pg 3-14 apps
Pg 4-14 apps
Pg 5-15 apps
Pg 6-16 apps
Pg 7-15 apps
Pg 8-15 apps
Pg 9-13 apps
Pg 10-13 apps
For a Grand Total of 146 on my iPhone. Oh and I have about 255 on my computer at home including these. I buy apps on an average of two a week and I look at the App Store a few times a day. So does that make me an Appaholic too?

I know! It's fun to get Apps no one else has yet at least. But I do use the Tell a Friend function when I find a really good one. I gotta share it.
No JB here either. Straight stock. Frowned upon I know, but I'd have it no other way.

Hmm...I don't search the Appstore unless I see a great App posted here or on some of the other sites I read. Guess I don't qualify....yet.

He probably does what I do, which is leave them in iTunes on the computer and delete them from the phone. If you keep them on the computer, they they can simply be synced back onto the phone. I've downloaded hundreds of apps from iTunes as well, but I only have 5 pages of them currently on my phone.

Well, that didn't last long. LOL. I'm moving to a new place and needed to make some room measurements. I had heard about PocketMeter so I decided to give that one a try. It didn't need to be completely accurate, just a rough estimate. I like how it uses sound waves to to measure, even if it doesn't get accurate to the nearest inch.

It's actually getting to be like a part time job... except I don't get paid. I usually spend a couple of hours a night getting new apps and updating old ones to the newest version. It's a lot of work.
I just checked and all of my apps total up to a measly 88GB. I guess that's not too bad.

I have 537 apps showing in iTunes (they are all legit, and mostly paid apps) Now I haven't plugged my phone into iTunes in a about a week, so I'm sure I have at least 10 more. I too check appsniper daily and look through the iTunes store for new and interesting apps! New App Tuesday is like having Christmas day every week! LOL!
my latest addiction is Word Play online! :ok:ok

Wow, I just counted my apps and I have 73 from the app store and I've only had my iPhone for a little over a month. I also have a few Cydia and Rock apps which brings me over 80.
I use an app called AppMiner that shows new apps and apps on sale. I love the apps on sale -- free section to find those $.99 apps that are free for a period of time.
I'm not quite an Appoholic but I am on my way!

I have a question for you Appoholic. How many of these apps do you use somehow regularly vs. the ones that are sitting there.
I have about 100 hundred installed and I end up using probably 10 of them max. What's your rate?

Yeah, I only keep ones that are actually worth having or provide some sort of entertainment. Most of what I have are games. Others are somewhat beneficial. :dft011:wicked_smile
