1. Daytrotter - I recently wrote about Wolfgang's Vault, a website that offers free live streaming of classic rock concerts. There is also a Concert Vault app for the iPhone so that you can listen to the music from the site on the go. Wolfgang's Vault recently bought another site, Daytrotter, which streams in-studio performances for an entirely different demographic. The music included on Daytrotter are acts that have dominated critic's best-of-lists over the last several years. It is for fans of new, upcoming indie music. And you can also take this music on the go with the Daytrotter iPhone app. While parents may prefer the classic rock of Wolfgang's Vault, teens can keep up with the latest music with Daytrotter. Even better, parents and teens can use both apps and websites and share the same music.
3. Touch Pets Dogs- This app should appeal to anyone that loves puppies, whether tween, teen or adult. Touch Pets is a free iphone app in which you take care of and play with your own virtual puppy. Create your puppy and share it with your friends. Train your puppy to do tricks and get him fun toys and accessories. Wouldn't you rather clean up virtual poop than the real thing?
4. Questia Library - After all of the fun from the above apps, teens still have school work to do. The Questia Library iPhone app gives students permanent access to 5,000 public domain books and one week of access to every publication in the Questia Library, which includes the full text of 74,000 books and over 2 million journal, magazine and newspaper articles selected by librarians. Questia Library enables students on the move to search, browse, skim and read a large and valuable collection of research materials. The Questia Library app is only $.99.
I hope you and your family enjoy these iPhone apps.

Hi

thanks for a lovely informative post
Jennifer,
Thanks for the link back to TechJaws. I have received many comments about the virtual pet app and people really love it!
Your blog is very interesting. I will frequent your site because your posts will definitely help me in our youth ministry as I try to learn more about teens and how to minister to them better.
I recently got my first brand new iPhone and I'm starting to search for interesting apps like these ones. The first one I'll download will be Harry Potter Spells
Interesting post. Good one for all teens . its looking veru nice. thanks for sharing this applications.
Daytrotter is a solid app, I have used it personally, and although I'm a little old, it is still highly entertaining. HP spells is decent, although my tween finds it somewhat slow. In terms of iphone apps for this age group, the touch pet dogs is actually one of the finer of this list.
I did a new app: KissOnTheFly the app to send kiss animated postcards. I think can be interesting to teens.
Give a look on the site http://www.kissonthefly.com or on the AppStore.
