so i just got Iphone 5s and am looking for some good apps...specifically games

so far i have been playing clash of clans which is fun but it can take a while to build your inventory and buildings if you dont want to spend real money so i need another game to play while I wait.

on a side note...my iphone never hits 4gLTE while in columbus on the sprint network?? anyone else have this problem...my droid had no problem

Podcasts - so many great podcasts out there - PTI, Around the Horn, The Herd, Mike & Mike, Kiley & Booms, Bull & Fox
Google Search - i don't even use Safari or Google Chrome anymore. Google Search is 10x better than Siri
Tweebot - best Twitter client there is... and yes, it's worth buying this app than sticking with the "free" one
Google Maps - because the iOS native map app sucks
Pocket - best app for saving online articles or "long reads" to, and then being able to read it later or offline
Shazam - amazingly awesome for when you hear a song and you want to know who the artist and/or title of the song is; incredibly accurate
Pandora - a must for those days/times when you just want to listen to a stream of music
SiriusXM - if you already have an existing SiriusXM membership
ScoreMobile - best app for checking scores
Fandango - best app for checking movie times
Netflix - if you already have an existing Netflix membership
U-Verse - if you already have an existing AT&T Uverse account (great for DVR-ing shows on the go)
Your bank's mobile app - mobile banking is huge
United - I fly United, so I use their app for mobile boarding passes all the time
Box/Dropbox/GoogleDrive/SkyDrive - these are all great for storing documents in the cloud and not wasting your phones memory
Nike+ Running - if you're into Running, this is the app for you
Moves - tracks your movement whether you're running, walking, or cycling. Incredibly accurate and awesome for those Corporate Walking Challenges
GasBuddy - best app for finding cheap gas
Instagram/Facebook - obvious
Remote - if you have an AppleTV
Zagat - finding top rated restaurants
Flickr - storing pictures
IFTTT - "If this then that"... pretty much exactly what it says.

Fun games? Infinity Blade is pretty cool, but the game is so large it really sucks/hogs a lot of the phone's memory.
Can't go wrong with any of the "Angry Birds" games; especially if you're a fan of Star Wars, then go with that series.
"Where's my water?" is actually a pretty cool game too, believe it or not.
There's some game that a few of my family members play. It's this game where you build this town and you have to protect it from onslaughts, and you can form these "guilds" with other players and then trade each other stuff like dragons, etc. I've yet to download and play it because everyone says it's unbelievably addicting (and I don't need another addiction in my life), but apparently that's the "hot game" for guys that are not in h.s.

If they had an app for a life, I'd recommend that.

It takes me 2 seconds to write the average post on here which puts me roughly at spending 10 hours of my life on this forum. You on the other hand are asking for apps that you can sit around on your ass and play for hours and hours adding no real value in the process.

GO OUTSIDE and have sex with a woman for once. Thanks.

Anyone see shark tank tonight they had an app cycloramic that allows your iPhone to take a full 360 picture. It used the vibrations in the phone to make the phone spin around. I'm thinking of paying the 1.99$ and trying it out

it is if you're an adult...

belly theory: Adults that play games on their phone, lack confidence in the real world....

I only play Clash of Clans.

I've been at it for well over a year and dropped $20 when I first started.

Unreal how popular it has become.
