Filling up your new iPhone? Just hoping to make the one you already have even better? These are the apps you don’t want to be without.

 

 

Though the U.S. still can’t partake in the magic that is Spotify, Mog is a quite-capable imitator. With a free app and a $9.99/month subscription, Mog gives you access to a massive music library that exists in the cloud. Connect via WiFi or 3G to stream on the fly, or download tracks in advance to save for those days when you’re off the grid. iPhone 4 users also get the benefit of background streaming, which keeps the tunes going while you fiddle around in other apps.

 

Pandora was a great service on your computer, but it’s even better on your phone. Having the free app means that you can discover new music on your morning commute, at the gym, or wherever you happen to be. If you already have an account, you can sign in and easily access any of the channels you created on the web. And don’t worry if you created an awesome channel on your phone — it will all transfer back to your account so you can access it on your computer.

Can’t name that song? There are myriad apps to help, but we think SoundHound is the best. Boot SoundHound up and let it listen to the track for a few seconds and it’ll spit back the track name. The app’s good at picking up the beat even over ambient noise like a bar crowd or a casual conversation. Best part? It’s totally free.

 

 

 

 

Put your creativity to the test with Bloom, an iPhone app that lets users build their own visual patterns and unique melodies by tapping on the screen. The app is part instrument and part artwork, letting anyone be a full-fledged composer. Not feeling creative? Bloom can do the composing for you. There are also 12 different mood settings, random mood shuffle and a sleep timer, should your perfectly created melody happen to be a lullaby.

 

If the iPhone’s standard camera is like a digital point-and-shoot, the Camera+ app is like a high-quality SLR lens. Developed by a professional photographer, Camera+ includes a burst mode for action shots, an image stabilizer and even a timer for self-portraits. But the real fun begins after you trip the shutter. The app lets you manipulate your photos with crops, borders, color tints and retro effects. For the iPhone user serious about taking beautiful photos, it’s $1.99 well spent.
