Today, I was reading a news story on cnn.com - how an earthquake victim trapped beneath debris managed to survive with the help of an iPhone app. Dan Woolley, an aid worker was badly injured during the recent earthquake in Haiti. Suddenly, he remembered that his iPhone app was filled with information about first aid. He followed instructions on his iPhone to treat his wounds till the rescue team pulled him out safely.
Moved by the story, I was wondering how far iPhone apps have come. With thousands of apps are available in various categories, it is tricky to choose most useful of them. So which are the best? Which are the must have? After walking through hundreds of them, I have found these 10 worth having.
