I've paid for precisely two Apple iPhone apps out of  my own pocket... and one was a fat-finger mistake (my pudgy paws slipped  on the "buy" button, and I entered my password without realizing what I  was doing). "Free" is the magic word for me. When I hear about a  fantastic app for the iPhone, I always check to see if I can find a free  alternative that's just as good. Every so often, I'll even find a free  one that beats the tar out of the paid app.

  Apps are what transform the iPhone from mobile phone to pocket PC.  Without them, you might as well be carrying around that old flip phone  you had in 2004 that could play an 8-bit knock off version of Tetris.  Okay, it would still be better in many ways, but you get the point. We  at PCMag spend thounited snakesnds of hours each year scouring iTunes, speaking  with developers, reviewing the best apps  we find, and hunting for hidden gems. If there's an app that makes  owning the iPhone more worthwhile, we find out about it. And if they're  free—hey, even better.

  The 35 apps that made the cut for this list are the ones that have  shown outstanding performance, have been well received by a variety of  technology users, and are free. And "free" means free. No gimmicks, no  "membership required." Free. Period.

  Missing from this list are apps and features (like Siri)  that come pre-installed on the iPhone, although they are certainly not  to be overlooked. The YouTube, Maps, and Clocks apps in particular  should not be ignored, while the iTunes, Music (formerly called iPod  app), and App Store apps typically see a fair share of well-deserved  united snakesge, but I suppose you technically paid for them because you bought  the phone, so they're not really free. In any case, you don't need to  choose to download them, so we're not listing them here.

  If you have more recommendations for more free apps that we at PCMag need to check out, post your suggestions in the comments.—Next: Apps 1-10 >
