Hi!

I've been searching around the forums, and I've found quite a lot of threads about language-learning apps, dictionaries etc for the iPhone. The only problem is that most of them are 2 years+ old.
I know that a lot of you guys own an iPhone/iPod touch, and I was wondering if you could share a "Top 3 - I would die without these apps" with us? =)

I know that there're a lot of gems out there, and I think the whole forum would benefit from an updated list of apps/games/whatever, that could help us with our language studies.

Have a great day!

Most recent thread is this one. It's been dormant for a month.

Quick response to your "Top 3" question:
1. Daijirin J-J dictionary. 2,500 yen.
2. 漢検プチドリル5000. 900 yen. KanKen levels 4, 3, J2, 2. Great interface and fun to use. Also by Monokakido (who make Wisdom, Daijirin).
3. GoodReader. 115 yen. Transfer various kinds of documents from your computer to read/view them.

I would like to read drama scripts in the itouch while I listen to the ripped audio. Which is best, goodreader or ibunko ?

i文庫 is great for reading in Japanese, Goodreader is great for reading in English. I've never tried them the other way around.

My top 3 apps:

1. 大辞林　(Daijirin J-J)
2. Kenkyuushas New College E-J & J-E
3. LRC player (shows line-by-line synced lyrics whilst playing your music, also auto-downloads Japanese lyrics for lots of songs)

and of course Anki

Goodreader now has the ability to annotate/markup/highlight PDFs. Apparently it's also popular enough in Japan that Bookscan optimizes for it (http://www.bookscan.co.jp/)

Can someone explain the benefits of GoodReader over iBooks?
