Body weight exercises are good for beginners, but will only get you so far if you're looking for big strength gains. So you have to ask yourself what your main goal is; fitness, strength or physique? Or perhaps you're training for a specific event. At any rate, you will eventually need to tailor your training to your goals.
Firstly, there's a ton of free stuff out there for you to utilise. You may want to begin with something like http://www.hundredpushups.com/ (please always warm up before exercise, particularly before anything to do with the back and shoulder muscles. An inflamed rotator cuff is no fun, lemme tell ya).
Apps I recommend:
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/kettlebe...25586?mt=8 (I can't recommend kettlebells enough. They take some technique, but result in an excellent work out)
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/seconds-...78811?mt=8
http://www.clearskyapps.com/portfolio/couch-to-5k (Don't neglect cardio.)
Zombies, run! (turning the monotony of running into a fight for survival against zombies which chase you based off of your GPS data. Complete with voice-acted storyline and a town building mini game where you collect resources on your runs! It's great.)
As a beginner, don't bother worrying yet about optimal training times, split workouts, etc. You'll only overcomplicate things. The fact is, beginners can expect to see rapid gains on any training regimen with good rest and diet. Eventually you will plateau with what you are doing, and that's where the concept of progressive overload comes in. But you don't need to worry about that yet.
Here's a book you may find useful:
http://www.amazon.com/You-Are-Your-Own-G...ur+own+gym
And depending on how broke you are, it wouldn't be a bad idea to invest in a suspension trainer.

Happy training!
