I'm looking for something fun to work on in the evenings these days. I figured I'd give iOS development a try but really have no idea what to build.<p>I'm not really too good at graphics so games are mostly out of the question. Other than that I'm open to pretty much anything.<p>So lets hear it. What ideas do you have?
"Drink Diary" - give a rough calculation of the alcohol drunk over one week. Users input the strength (if known) of the drink, and the size (if known) of the drink.<p>The app returns a rough estimate of Units drunk over the week, and links to sensible drinking advice.<p>(<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-19509434" rel="nofollow">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-19509434</a>)<p>(<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-19549255" rel="nofollow">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-1954...</a>)<p>(<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-19554316" rel="nofollow">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-19554316</a>)<p>(<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-19512420" rel="nofollow">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-19512420</a>)<p>Safe drinking advice:

Postal rate calculator. Calculate postage given a package dimensions / weight, tells you which carrier to use (USPS, UPS, FedEx, etc.). There is one app like this already in the store, but it's not very good (and USA only).
A 'Business Bull' or 'Overheard in the Elevator' app - a tongue-in-cheek buzzword generator for business folk. Here's your data: <a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/ericjackson/2012/06/19/89-business-cliches-that-will-get-any-mba-promoted-to-middle-management-and-make-them-totally-useless/#" rel="nofollow">http://www.forbes.com/sites/ericjackson/2012/06/19/89-busine...</a>
The open source software we use for our magazine is always looking for people. If you want to learn Newsstand and create a new branch there might even be an opportunity to make money eventually. <a href="http://bakerframework.com/" rel="nofollow">http://bakerframework.com/</a>
Clipboard... an iPad/iPhone app for inspections. All documents you need to go walk around a property or things to look over all in one place (ie Docs, Photos, Notes) but with the flow of actual paper & the ability to just type over or write over anything on the clipboard.
For a viral quick-win...'Ryan Gosling Memes' - a meme generator friends can quickly create and share. Or 'Party with Ryan Gosling' - Ryan photobombs your pics (like a hilariously bad photoshop job). (Could be fun, and who am I kidding I'd buy it. Don't judge!)
an app that analyzes someone's voice and tells you whether they're lying or not. Doesn't actually have to work, but use some mombo-jumbo scientific language to give it an air of legitimacy.
