Favorite Things...

The votes are in... Wired.com just posted their readers' favorite iPhone apps of 2009.

The top app for 2009 is Words With Friends, the iPhone version of Scrabble [which just so happens to be one of my favorite games...].

Yes, the iPhone game that readers loved so much they nominated it again and again was Words With Friends. It’s an iPhone version of Scrabble, which is hardly original, but the social integration of the game is done beautifully. You can invite and play with multiple iPhone users at the same time; you can chat within the app; and you can also set up Words With Friends to send you a push notification whenever it’s your turn to make a move. All very Web 2.0 savvy.

My favorite feature is a pair of eyeballs that pop up in the corner of the screen, signifying when your opponent is looking at the board. That’s just darn cute.

The second most popular app was The Moron Test.

Apparently a lot of you enjoy gauging your intelligence (or lack thereof), because The Moron Test received a lot of votes. The app is a series of tests evaluating your ability to understand and follow directions. Touch the ducks from biggest to smallest, for example, or tap the green button twice, then the red button and the blue button. Whenever you mess up, the screen reads “FAIL!” and you can either choose to start over or use a continue. Fun stuff, albeit a jokey method to test one’s smarts.

Third went to Pocket of Gold, while fourth was awarded to Adobe Photoshop.com Mobile. Last but not least was the app Thirty One.
