ColorSight
- I've built a new app named ColorSight for creating and emailing swatches It also provides detailed color metrics (RGB, HSB, CMYK, and HEX) for every color. This app really is for anyone with the word ‘Designer’ in their job description. I built it for myself because I was unsatisfied with the few similar apps on the market. Check it out at. I really do feel like it would have gone in the list above if it had existed then. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/colorsight/id389936559?mt=8

Palettes
- This is the only design type app that I still use on a regular basis. I liked the free version well enough that I shelled out 10 bucks for the pro version.

The Roambi Publisher brings data to life with sleek graphs and charts that help identify trends – you can give a business presentation right from your phone!

Typography Manual
- I haven't really found a use for most of the iPhone apps on the lists of things for desigenrs. But I do like the Typography Manual (I found it by reading your review of it Jacci). I don't normally pay for apps but this one was an exception. Good reference material that I can carry with me. I know not everyone will be impressed becuz it's not a game and it doesn't DO anything but there's a lot of information packed into it so it gets my vote. I also have to give a nod to Evernote. It's also a good organizational tool.

Sketchbook Mobile
- They also have a free version called Sketchbook Mobile Express. Great for jotting down ideas and sketches when plain text just won't do.

Inspire
- Of the drawing and painting apps I have tried so far, I like Inspire the best. It's not the most well known, but it's very good.

WhatTheFont
- Count me as another fan of WhatTheFont. I think I use it on my iPhone more than on the Web.

Evernote
- I have not been impressed by most of the photoediting apps for the iPhone. But there are some good tools for business and day to day activities. Evernote is the one that helps me the most by keeping me organized. I use it for taking notes and making voice memos mostly but it does more than that.

What the Font
- just got a iphone and what the font is one of the first apps i added. easy to use. i dont know how often ill use it but i already impressed a my dad by using it while we were at a restaurant and we were talking abou the font on the menu so i can see the potential of it while out meeting with clients.
