just a thought!

Tv Guide - Iphone version

There's an iPad version out too.

KeithM89_old

Soundhound - Not free but far better than Shazam
X-Plane - Great flying game
Penultimate - Simple note-taking app
SketchBook Pro - Better than any other drawing app - very deep with unlimited brush options

Lordhumphreys

Have had mine a while too (got it launch weekend in US). Glad to see more apps coming available. Would still like to see more of the Ireland/UK publications launch versions. Love Time & Wired's apps.

Flipboard looks good, and is now live with Facebook & Twitter content!

Anyone know when actual chart content will come onto the iBooks store, rather than just the Guttenberg stuff?

Teamviewer is not too bad for remote access to your Mac/PC, just trying it out now

How did you get the iPlayer app? Is that the BBC iPlayer? I've looked in iTunes and I can't seem to find it. I have a UK account and I couldn't find it there either.

There's no official app. Just go to the website and then when on the iplayer page save it to your home screen.

Ah I see. It doesn't work outside the UK for me though Any workaround?

Sorry, of course the iPlayer is not full app, i have it on my media page with ABC and Hulu+ but its just a link back to their iPad compatible site.

Also i am using PureVPN with USA and UK connections set up and working like a charm.

My apps include
Pages
Numbers
Keynote
Racer HD
HD Snooker
HD Scrabble
Airplane HD (lander game)

You need to sign up for a VPN for the UK which when you switch it on, will give you a UK IP address. There's loads of codes posted for BlackVPN on here which will give you 3 months sub for €5. It's usually €5 a month.

See my sig for Black VPN referral code if you are interested

redman

How long does it take to get codes once paid?

Cyrus

its immediate

redman

Thanks, they messed up on me- sent support query 24hrs later and got codes!

God this iPad stuff is so cool!

Stephen P

Art Studio is really good if you're into drawing

QikBax

Anybody having a problem using both a US and a Uk account with BlackVpn?

My Us account works no problem but the Uk account won't logon at all. Just disconnects straight away.

Their support has been no help

monkeyfudge

I like the bit on the website that says why you should use BlackVpn and then lists my IP adress and tells me I'm in Longford for some reason.

I certainly would hate for people to think I lived in Longford.

Used your code there mate. Working on all my devices now. Bit disappointed I can't use tv catchup though

Cyrus

You sure I can? On the iPad anyway

Actually, I can now. Can't remember if it was the iPad or one of my Macs I tried earlier but it came up and said my isp was blocked and it named the servers Blackvpn use.
Funny that. But I'm happy I posted now. Cheers mate.

BlackVPN never sent me a confirmation email after I paid them. Load of sh1te :mad::mad:

Why not email them? They are quick to respond.

If, like me, you watch a lot of TV, then iTV Shows HD is a must-have!

Don't seem to be able to set it to first broadcasts outside the US so only useful for downloaders. Shame, could have been good.

Yeah.. it'll pick up British / Irish productions without a problem for their first airing on British / Irish TV (e.g picked up 'The IT Crowd' and 'Sherlock' correctly).

But anything US-produced is using it's next airing in the States - maybe that'll be fixed in a future revision but I wouldn't say it's likely.

FastPDF is faster than GoodReader, there's a comparison video on the FastPDF site.

I've just been playing around with an app called Uzu.
really cool worth checking out

ongarite

Probably been mentioned already but there is a great app called TVListings.co.uk, that shows TV schedule based on your region and also has Remote Record functionality if you are a Sky+ subscriber.

How do I download the abc player app and hulu+ app?

They don't seem to show up when I do a search in the app store.

You need to download them in the US App Store - sign up for a US account with a new e-mail address / ID by clicking a free app in the US store (this way, you won't require a US credit card).

Xvid app for ipad
Excellent app for watching xvids on your iPad. Just take mins to upload then play from the cinexvid app. It's so easy. It's called cinexplayer

DeVore

Plants Vs Zombies, which is just great fun and as addictive as all hell!

Fieldrunners which is a classic tower defence game and tough but very enjoyable.

Frict, a simple and yet frustratingly hard iPhone ap which works great on the iPad

Catan, iPhone app and it shows but its still a great conversion of the boardgame

BBC News, very much part of my daily routine now. Just a fantastic app.

Google Maps,..... WOOoooooooooooooooooooo, I can spin the world!! Ok, not hugely useful but terrific fun from time to time

Lock and Roll.... brain bending dice and strategy game. Kills minutes one at a time!

DeV.

ongarite

Plants Vs Zombies isn't worth the money IMO. It's far too pricey for the experience you get with the game. It's the easiest tower defence I have ever played, I breezed through the whole adventure, story mode with no trouble at all. So little strategy is needed even on the later levels.

J-blk

Times for iPad is a pretty interesting newsreader, looks like it is going for a look & feel very similar to Flipboard, but without the social features.

N.O.V.A. - Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance HD
Gameloft

http://ax.itunes.apple.com/ie/app/n-o-v-a-near-orbit-vanguard/id363875948?mt=8#ls=1

€0.79 FPS pretty good stuff, takes a bit of getting used to but some nice features.

KeithM89_old

Agreed - NOVA is pretty good for the price

Also recommend Splinter Cell: Conviction
Graphics arent up to much - just slightly better than the iPhone version but still good fun
