There's nothing better than downloading a new free app to you iPad or iPhone - except when the app is horrible. If there's one to know about software, it really is that one person's "awesome" is the next guy's "awful." The reason being every person is unique and our apps should be too. So, we've put together this list of software to match different personality types. Choose yourself, obtain your app and find happiness at last.

The Best App for Everyone: Where

Where tells you just that - where what you're looking for is found. Not unlike the "Points of Interest" feature in Garmin GPS systems, the Where app can answer any of your questions that begin with "Where is...?" From "where is the nearest place to obtain a walk?" to "where is my friend Mike right now?", the Where app enables you to connect with the individuals and places around you, all while you're on the run.

What makes Where so great is the way it combines several different apps straight into one central location. For example, you might already have one app that will give you the weather, and another app that will search for coupons. Another app might provide you with gas prices, while a fourth app might let you browse the Yellow Pages. With Where, all this information is in one place.

The Best App for Music Lovers: Shazam

Shazam has a premium version that's not necessarily free, but the limited use version might be enough to get started with. Imagine this scenario: you're in a cafe having a walk, and they're playing a song that you really love. You think you've heard it before, but for the life of you, you can't figure out who sings it or what the the song is. This is where Shazam comes in. Just hold your phone as close as you can to the speaker, and record a short sample of times. Shazam will figure out who sings the song, what its name is, and what album it's on. Even with extraneous background noise - people chatting without anyone's knowledge, an espresso machine going off - Shazam will capture enough of the music to tell you who it is.

For anyone who's ever said to themselves or to a friend, "Who is this singer?! It is driving me crazy!", you owe it to your sanity to put the Shazam app on your iPhone.

The Best App for News Junkies: The New York Times

On the subway, at a restaurant, or walking outside, you are able to plug in to the latest news from The New York Times. Not just that, you are able to customize which news stories you see. If you're straight into sports, for instance, you can get sports headlines to appear, without having to scroll through all that boring arts stuff.

The Best App for Social Butterflies: Eventful

If you're the type of person who doesn't like to stay at home knitting and watching television every night, Eventful might be the app for you. Eventful will tell you all about local events, including which performers will be performing where and when; in fact, Eventful tracks the schedules of over 130,000 performers, so the chances are, you'll find something good to do at night. You can also track what events your friends are interested in, making it easy to coordinate a weekend of fun with the gang.

The Best App for Twitter Users: Twitterrific

If you can't stand to be away from your Twitter account, it's not necessary to be. Twitterrific lets you take Twitter with you wherever you go. From Twitterrific, it's easy to post tweets and follow the tweets your family and friends post.

These five apps just scratch the surface. The chances are, if you're able to imagine it, somebody has made an app for it - or they will soon.
