A new website from [Matt Birchler](http://birchtree.me/2013/03/28/announcing-altstock/) that gives recommendations of the best alternative to the stock apps that ship on the iPhone. Some great recommendations here — such as Check the Weather instead of Weather, and Checkmark over Reminders — but I don’t agree with them all. For example, I think [PCalc](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pcalc-the-best-calculator/id284666222?mt=8&partnerId=30&siteID=jVL634u150Y) is the best alternative to the Calculator, and [Simplenote](http://shawnblanc.net/2013/01/simplenote-alternatives/) is the best alternative to Notes.
I love the idea behind this site and hope to see it expand to iPad and Mac apps as well.
