Finally made the move to an iPhone and now I'm faced with finding the best apps to get the most out of it.

I'm sure there are some mentioned in the iPhone thread, but it's huge and old, so I thought I'd start something more current.

Any useful apps would be appreciated, but ones specifically useful in Seoul/Korea would be great. Also, free would be a plus. Apps that require knowledge of Korean are welcome as well.

What I've come up with...

KakaoTalk
Seoul Bus
하철이 (subway...good for finding fastest routes, travel times, etc)
배달의민족 (finds delivery food in your area...there are quite a few like this)

Naver Map is a decent app for finding routes around Korea.
Depending on your provider, there are a bunch of apps available for use.
KT has a navigation app, and their Mini service center app that allows you to track your usage.
If you are a M25 reader, they have a newstand app version.
G마켓 is a Gmarket shopping app.
There are a number of bank apps but from my experience you'll need to have IE to grab the key file and install it on the phone.
Most of the point cards have an app version to track points and allow the clerk to scan your card in.
CGV, Megabox, and Lotte have apps for reserving movie tickets.
TaekBae for tracking your deliveries.
Jihachul is the app I've been using for the subway.

전국고속조합 is the name of an app that allows you to purchase bus tickets.

Thanks for the list.

I've been having trouble finding the bus app though. Does it still exist under that name?

Why is this limited to Seoul?


Korail for purchasing tickets online.

KBO - reserving baseball tickets, checking standings, possibly viewing games although I've never checked this app out.


I'd like to see an AirKorea app to check air quality in a particular area.


Any nice weather apps?

Not limited to Seoul, hence the Seoul/Korea, but certain apps would only be useful in Seoul, and since I'm here, I'd like to know about them.

I'll check out that baseball one.

어제, 어늘 is pretty good for weather. It compares yesterday's weather with today's in the morning, afternoon, and evening. You can compare today and the forecast for tomorrow as well. Not much detail and nothing in the way of advanced forecasts though, so I'd like to hear about some other good ones.

Pooq- watching/streaming Korean TV
Ticketlink- I use this app for buying KBO tickets
Daum 지도- my favorite app for maps, subways, and bus stops
Naver- it's the swiss army knife app for me living in Korea; you can find a lot of useful information

With regards to the KORAIL app, I haven't had any luck purchasing tickets with it. There is always some popup after I put my details in. Any other people had this problem?
