Looking for iPhone apps to blow the minds of the old folks? Grandma may think the Internet is only a tool to send puppy photos to loved ones, but these apps will make her think differently. Prove to the old folks we’ve reached the age of science fiction technology with the following iPhone apps.
Google Earth – Technology may hand you the world, and this one does, virtually if not literally. This iPhone app displays satellite imagery from around the world in a 3D globe. It’s perfect for showing off the astounding capabilities of the iPhone when you can see Gramp’s front porch and see how his roses are blooming. You don’t even have to buy the world to view the world. Unlike a lot of iPhone apps on the market, this one is totally free.
SayWhere – Although you may get used to typing into the iPhone after a while, punching in addresses to lookup directions will always be a drag, especially if you are already fed up and lost. SayWhere was one of the first iPhone apps to translate speech to provide directions for Google Maps, Traffic, Yellow Pages or Yelp. A great app, SayWhere keeps your eyes on the road rather than the keypad.
SmackTalk – Feel like talking to the animals? How about talking just like the animals? This iPhone app lets you talk smack Chihuahua style. While it won’t help you with finances or directions, it’s bound to get you some laughs. The voice changing app turns your voice into a high squeaky guinea pig, puppy or kitten to repeat everything you say in a high pitched squeak or low frequency voice. You’ll sound just like a cartoon. Who said iPhone apps always have to be serious?
James Oliver’s 20 Minute Meals – It used to be the only time you used a phone to cook was to call Mom to ask about a recipe. This iPhone app goes a step farther by calling on world renowned cook Jim Oliver. He gives you full color photos, a video and step by step instructions to make great meals in 20 minutes. Create the perfect dream dinner for a date with your phone as the perfect cook book.
