The top 10 iPhone Apps list features the best iPhone applications that should be ready for your iPhone as soon as you pull the iPhone from its coveted black box. All iPhone Applications now available on iTunes.com! Shop Now!

1. Yelp

Yelp connects you to user reviews of restaurants, bars and other businesses — has some nifty features. Monocle lets you point your iPhone camera’s viewfinder in any direction for an “augmented reality” street-view version of nearby establishments. The Nearby feature shows you in both list and map format which restaurants are closest to you. Bookmarks lets you read up on the spots you want to check out, add them to your bookmark list and view their location too.

2.Mint

Mint makes budgeting fun with it’s slick interface and color coded graphs and charts. The iPhone app allows you to check in with your account on the go. You can see alerts (“You’ve spent too much on parking!”) and take a quick look at your budgetary goals, which may be just the thing to prevent that impulse buy, or remind you that $4 lattes add up really fast.

3. Gorillacam

Pretty much from nowhere, Gorillacam arrived in December 2009 from the creators of the Gorillapod tripods. It mashes together a slew of features to hugely improve an iPhone’s camera (timer, multi-shot, spirit-level, on-screen grid, ‘press anywhere’ capture), meaning you can bin a half-dozen standalone apps that offer similar things.

4. Facebook

The revised grid-based ‘home screens’ provide speedy access to regularly visited sections (news feed, notifications, and so on) and pages, and the experience is such that it in many ways beats the browser version.

5. Fring

Skip past expensive data charges for international calls with the free VoIP caller Fring (free). With it, you’ll be able to talk to friends using Skype, SIP, Windows Live Messenger (MSN), Google Talk, and ICQ’s protocols–as long as you have a strong Wi-Fi connection. In addition, you can skip over Palringo altogether and IM with Fring instead. It supports the chat services above, as well as AIM, Yahoo, and Twitter; but you’ll lose out on photo messages.

6. RunKeeper

The prospect of Nike+ but better and for free might sound unlikely, but that’s what RunKeeper Free provides. The app uses an iPhone’s GPS capabilities to track your jogging route, and provides mapping and details of pace and calories burned. Activities can be shared online, and treadmill runs can be entered manually.

7. Slacker Radio

When it comes to streaming Internet Radio, Slacker Radio is one of many comparable free music discovery apps that help you find cool songs to stream over the Internet. Slacker Radio gets you streaming songs from genre-based stations and from “stations” you create yourself around one or more artists.

8. Photoshop.com Mobile for iPhone

Photoshop.com Mobile for iPhone includes essentials like a cropper and rotater, color adjusters, and a handful of effects to change tone and tint, or apply thematic edits to give images a border or vintage feel. Apart from its no-cost price tag, the other major draw to Adobe’s Photoshop iPhone app is the one-button uploading of photos to a Photoshop.com account, as an alternative to saving edited photos on the phone. We also like being able to snap a photo using the tool and then upload it to Photoshop.com right away.

9. Bloomberg Mobile

Bring the power of the most trusted source for financial information to your iPhone, along with tools to help you analyze the world’s markets. Bloomberg offers news, stock quotes, company descriptions, market leaders/laggers, price charts, market trends analysis, and more. You are also able to create a customized list of stocks that you want to follow from markets around the world.

10.Flixster

When it’s a movie-going experience you want, go straight to the free Movies app, populated by Flixster.com. You’ll find a logical tabbed interface where you can get movie showtimes, tickets, trailers, and maps to nearby theaters. Movie-watchers can hunt by title, theater, and rating. Flixster’s iPhone app offers a seamless, rich experience for finding reviews, upcoming titles, new DVD releases, and some artsy flicks. Integration with Netflix, Facebook, and Yelp helps make Movies the ultimate customized cinematic companion–at least for the U.S, U.K., and Canada.

iPhone Applications now available on iTunes.com! Shop Now!

1. WebMD Mobile
WebMD’s iPhone app enables parents to look up symptoms and try to figure out what’s ailing their children. Of course, it shouldn’t take the place of professional medical advice, but for those cases when your child has a minor rash, fever, cough, etc., this is a great resource to try and narrow down what is going on, and prepare for a doctor visit if necessary.
——————————————————————————–
2. Shutterfly for iPhone
Although you won’t get professional quality photos from your iPhone, the 3 mega-pixels are sufficient for taking quick snapshots of your kids. And with this app, you can instantly upload photos to your Shutterfly account, send them to your friends and family, and let the bragging begin.
——————————————————————————–
3. Time-Out FREE
Kids’ behavior is unpredictable and there’s no knowing when a time-out may be necessary. When you’re away from the confines of your house and your kids act up, this simple timer on your phone can be used to track a time-out.
——————————————————————————–
4. SitOrSquat: Bathroom Finder
Ask your kids one minute if they have to use the bathroom and the answer is “no.” The next minute, they’re doing the potty dance. SitOrSquat is a great app to have on your phone when you are out-and-about in an unfamiliar place and need to know where the closest public restroom is located.
——————————————————————————–
5. KidStatz LITE
KidStatz LITE is an app that enables you to house basic information about your child, his/her physical characteristics, medical information and a photo. In the horrible event that your child goes missing, this will help you have immediate access to crucial information. The lite version enables you to email the information directly from the app, as well as call the police, but does not offer the option to enter information for multiple children, as the full version does. This type of app is a must-have for any parent.
——————————————————————————–
6. Pizza Finder
What kid doesn’t like pizza? When you’re on the road, on vacation, or in an unfamiliar area, Pizza Finder identifies local joints in your area, links it through Google Maps(), and lets you call directly from the app. It is perfect for finding a quick meal and quelling the constant “I’m hungry!” whines.
——————————————————————————–
7. Bank & ATM Finder
But pizza for dinner only makes sense if you have the cash to pay for it. Bank & ATM Finder is a good resource for any parent who is in need of some quick cash. By mapping out your location, this app quickly locates local banks and ATM machines near you.
——————————————————————————–
8. Disney World Wait Times Free
Ask any parent what the worst part is about going to Disney World and they will likely say the exorbitant prices and the constant waiting. There isn’t an app that can reduce the cost of admission, but this app certainly addresses the wait times. The app’s by-the-minute updates on how long the lines are for rides at Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom, can keep you one step ahead of the crowds and help you to plan your day at Disney more efficiently.
——————————————————————————–
9. Birthday Notification
It’s easy to remember the birthdays of the people in your immediate inner circle, but throw co-workers, friends’ kids, distant relatives’ birthdays into the mix and it becomes a lot harder to keep track. With the Birthday Notification app, you can input all important birthdays (and also import from Facebook()) and get email and/or push notifications.
——————————————————————————–
10. myStarbucks
Parents with young kids are usually sleep-deprived. Sleep-deprived parents usually need coffee. Use this app to find the nearest Starbucks location and refuel on caffeine.
——————————————————————————–
11. ICE iEmergency LITE
ICE (in case of emergency) contacts are becoming a standard notation for cell phones. The lite version of ICE iEmergency allows you to list your top three emergency contacts, as well as select a wallpaper screen displaying your designated ICE contact. A different developer makes a similar, parent-focused ICE app, as well called, appropriately, Parent ICE.
——————————————————————————–
12. Library
As routine as a trip to the local library is for adults, it can be a fun outing for a child. If your kid loves going to the library and you are often in new locales, then the Library app is for you. This free app will automatically determine your location and then show you nearby libraries on a Google Map.
——————————————————————————–
13. AroundMe()
AroundMe is great all-around resource for finding everything in your area, including restaurants, hospitals, movie theaters, parking lots, supermarkets, gas stations and more. It also provides mapping functionality and enables you to send the information to a friend. It’s a perfect app for on-the-go parents who need help planning their errands and getting things done or finding things to do when traveling in unfamiliar locations.
——————————————————————————–
14. ManGo Shopping
ManGo Shopping is similar in concept to AroundMe, but it focuses solely on retail stores in your area. ManGo covers 300+ retail chains and will help locate the nearest Target, Home Depot, Costco, etc. It’s perfect for when you’re traveling and you run out of diapers or formula and are in need of the nearest superstore.
——————————————————————————–
15. Regator – Web’s Best Blogs
Regator is an app that aggregates information from the blogosphere to provide you with a steady stream of news from popular blogs. With more than 500 topics available to search from, you can prioritize which you follow. There’s even a topic on parenting which encompasses many popular mom blogs, which makes for great morning reading before the kids wake up.
——————————————————————————–
16. iRelax Melodies Lite
When you want to transport yourself away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, even for a few minutes, would you prefer to hear the sound of ocean waves, or perhaps rain? With this lite version, you can pick from eight different sounds or even mix and match to create the perfect combination to suit your tastes. It even offers music box sounds to help calm a crying baby.
——————————————————————————–
17. Allrecipes.com Dinner Spinner
It’s 5:00 p.m., you’re leaving work to pick the kids up from school and you have no idea what the dinner plan is. With Allrecipes.com’s cool ‘Dinner Spinner,’ you can select a dish type, ingredients, and prep time and ‘spin’ to see what kind of options pop up. Complete with photos and a search function, this is a great app for anyone who is responsible for meal planning in the house.
——————————————————————————–
18. IsWhen
IsWhen is a very simple app that lists upcoming holidays and their dates for 2009 and 2010. The calendar that comes with the iPhone does not designate holidays, so when scheduling a family vacation or time off, it is a simple resource for finding specific dates. It’s also useful for planning for those tricky Monday holidays like President’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, and Columbus Day when schools are closed and businesses are not.
——————————————————————————–
19. Events Finder
This app locates all events in your designated area. By identifying everything from concerts to festivals to sporting events, Events Finder is a good resource for parents who are looking for something fun to do with the kids on the weekend.
——————————————————————————–
20. reQall
reQall is an innovative voice-enabled service that allows you to capture passing thoughts, reminders and to dos in an easy way through your iPhone. But, this just scratches the service of everything it is capable of. Not only does reQall keep track of things you need to remember, shopping lists, etc., it also organizes your reminders, integrates into Outlook and even shares them with others. reQall works with both its free web-based accounts and paid subscriptions for added functionality.
