1 - Wunderlist
The App Store has so many to-do apps that it's in severe danger of tipping over, due to the sheer weight of digital checkboxes, but Wunderlist is one of the very few that really stands out.
The interface is very usable, and the app's ability to seamlessly sync across devices and platforms makes it a great download.
2 - Google Authenticator
This one falls under 'essential' rather than 'amazing'. If you've turned on two-step verification on your Google account, chances are it'll regularly ask for a code. You can get this sent to you via SMS, but it's much less hassle to haveGoogle Authenticator instead provide the numbers to type in.
3 - Chrome
Safari's a perfectly decent web browser on the iPhone, but Chrome has a couple of particular advantages.
First, the card-like tabbing system (technically unlimited, but Chrome does tend to get a bit crashy if you open too many) is really very nice indeed; secondly, you can send tabs to your iPhone from the desktop version of Chrome.
4 - Photo Editor by Aviary
Another image editor, but Photo Editor is a good 'un. The interface is clear, and it contains all the tools you'd expect: filters, enhancements, cropping, and the ability to fire that picture of your frothy coffee/amusing dog/current skyline to Flickr, Tumblr, Facebook or Twitter.
5 - Gmail
"But Gmail works in Apple Mail," you might say. And this is true, but it doesn't work terribly well. For the best of Gmail, Google's own offering is unsurprisingly the app to opt for.
The Gmail app provides a full experience, enabling you to search, thread, star and label items to your heart's content - and is far better when your connection is patchy.
