More Full-Screen iPhone 5 Apps
Evernote (for iPhone)
Evernote (Free)FreeTake slightly longer notes or scribble over a slightly wider area using Evernote on your iPhone 5, as the popular note-taking app supports the 5s longer screen. More screen, in this case, means about two more lines of text. Evernote for iPhone is beloved because it syncs so well with other platforms, meaning you can use the cloud-based app to take notes and jot down ideas on any device you might be in front of, easily accessing them on every device you have.

Hipmunk (for iPhone)
HipmunkFreeHipmunk is a travel-search app, and its hotel search feature is very map-dependent. The bad news, of course, is that its now dependent on that new Apple maps app. On the other hand, when youre in that Maps app looking for a well-priced hotel, you can now see a few more blocks north and south of your central location thanks to the iPhone 5s bigger screen.

iPhoto (for iPhone)
iPhoto$4.99All of Apples apps have been updated for the iPhone 5, so downloading iMovie, iPhoto, and GarageBand is a good idea if youre looking to show off your new phone. The changes in iPhoto are subtle—bigger previews, for one, and the ability to show the "help" icon along with two columns of thumbnails.

Navigon (for iPhone)
Navigon$24.99 and up
Apples maps are a problem. We know this. If you use your iPhone heavily as a GPS, you should really buy a third-party map program. So far Navigon takes the prize as the only one of the big-name, mainstream navigation apps that uses the iPhone 5s full screen. Navigon (which ranges from $24.99 to $89.99 depending on which maps youre buying) also has global offline maps and supports public transit, two things missing from Apples new Maps app.
