• Brows Thousands of Photo & Video Apps with the “Mother Load” link.
Apps I use:

The Links below may open your iTunes program.

  • FiLMiC Pro ($2.99) – My main camera. Amazing, professional manual video controls and settings. Live Audio levels ensure that you are capturing audio wile recording – a huge plus. Export to many different services. Color Bars, Slate. Direct to FTP server, YouTube, DropBox and more.
  • Cloud-Mgr ($5.99) – When you are ready to start using an Amazon S3 account, this is the app to connect your phone to your S3 server. It can be a little frustrating initially connecting with your Amazon S3 account but after connected very easy to work with.
  • iHandy Level (FREE) – How I level my camera on the tripod.
  • Almost DSLR ($1.99) – Settings and Heads-Up Display. My second choice to FiLMiC Pro. It’s good to have two camera apps in the case that one is getting buggy and is having issues.
  • iMovie ($4.99) – Apples iPhone version of their popular mac video editing software. Great program.
  • WiFi photo (FREE) – This is how I typically download my video and photos. Allows anyone to go to a specific URL and enter a password and begin to download video off of your phone. If you are working with a video editor in another State or Country, just have the App open and let them download the video to their local machine in real time! No need to waste time uploading to another server!
  • Camera Plus Pro ($.99) – Great little camera. I use this as a back-up. Just another alternative to my two top cameras.
  • UStream (FREE) – Broadcast Live Video Worldwide For FREE! What would that have cost 10 years ago? This is truly amazing FREE software that allows you to stream live video from anywhere you have a Wi-Fi connection!
  • Recorder ($.99 + $1.99/recorded hour PrePaid) – The BEST program to record phone interviews. Download them from your own URL and post them on your website or behind the membership site. That’s what I use for my phone interviews.
  • AudioMemos – ($.99) Simply one of the best audio recorders available! Record, merge tracks, bookmark important parts, upload to FTP server or connect with your PC or Mac over Wi-Fi to download.
  • Splice – (FREE- $3.99) Multi-track video editor. Splice is a great alternative to iMovie. They even have a free version available. Many in-App upgrades available.
  • Vimeo – Video Editor. Similar to iMovie and Splice, but designed to integrate seamlessly with your Vimeo Account. Great app to use if your primary video account is Vimeo.com
  • DailyMotion – Basic features for video producers. Allows you to shoot video and upload directly to DailyMotion.com.
  • PS Express – The Adobe PhotoShop app for iPhone & iPod Touch. It allows you to edit photos and graphics that I import as a background. Great quick image editor with several effects.
  • Tiltshift Video – Used mostly for manipulating focus and blur this app can make normal objects look like miniature versions. This app can also selectively-blur areas that are not the subject. The blur intensity can be adjusted to soften all of the visual information around the subject. Can be used lightly to add a nice depth of field.
  • Dropbox – Connect to your hard drive in the sky. Drop Box allows you to upload any content from your phone or iPod to your Drop Box account and share it with others. Includes 2 Gig storage free. Great for clearing off divice away from your pc or mac.

    Thanks for the list!
    Some of these Apps have BELOW average user reviews, the UStream one for example, users are saying it doesn’t work right on 4s. Can you confirm Matthew your experience with it? Free apps you can just try and see, but the paid ones with poor reviews I’m more concerned about. Thanks

    Go with user reviews. Just keep in mind more people who have bad experiences will say something about it than people who use the app without problems.

    Apps are for the most part are updated regularly to keep up with the latest iOS and Droid OS.

    I haven’t tried UStream with the 4S, but I have with the iPhone 4G and it worked well.

    Apps are a great idea, some are a little buggy the first few generations, but get much better over time.

    The biggest problem with some apps is that they will close when the processor gets overloaded. It’s not an exact science yet. Give it two years and apps will be solid like any other Mac software (more-so than windows 98!).
