Apps for iPhone / iPod touch

Dades

Does anyone else think the update to iPhone 5 screen for most apps is taking a long time?

Loads of may favourite apps are still letterboxed. Stuff like Whatsapp, TuneIn, TV Guide, the Irish Times...

I thought the process was supposed to be painless for devs!

EDIT - TuneIn app has been updated!

Creamy Goodness

depends how well the app was developed, and if there are fixed height values dotted around the codebase. you also have to remember a lot of companies outsource their iOS development meaning to get even the smallest of changes costs $$$.

the irish times i'm guessing will take a while as it's a web wrapper app. not sure about the rest.

A friend told me about this game on Saturday. My eyes are starting to hurt today from playing it constantly since then, this is a ridiculously addictive game and I take no reponsibility for it ruining your life.

Very addictive little football game.

Free to download but you have to pay for the career mode were you live as a pro player from the age of 16, you have to keep your boss the team and fans happy and build up your stats.

Does anyone know of any good study apps? I want one where I can put topics into a timetable an then tick it off as done afterwards, something similar to Lift if possible (where you tick off the things you've done). It has to be free though. Thanks.

Is there such a thing as an app that tracks the prices of albums etc on the itunes store? I know theres plenty for tracking apps on the app store for price/gone free etc.
Is there even a way of setting alerts or anything like that?

It allows you to securely connect to a network that supports openvpn remotely. I can connect to my home network without having to expose all my services through port forwarding.

Can anyone recommend a good password keeper app?

CombatCow

1Password is fantastic, I don't have the iOS version but I use the Pc/Mac one and its invaluable.

Touchpal is a swipe keyboard for iOS. As per apple regulation it's not fully integrated into the iOS ,instead it's in a stand alone app. However this one is very nicely done. You can send an email and messages from within the app and you can copy a tract of text you've typed with just one click.

Great for anyone who misses android Swype . It really does make typing much faster and it's very accurate.
