Are many of you using the VLC app? It's great to be able to play files of any format and all but I find it very buggy: it tends to regularly freeze up on me. I only have to exit it and leave it a while before I go back in again so it's no huge deal but just wondering has anyone else had the same experiences. Any alternatives? I use Airvideo when I'm in the house but for when I'm on the go.

It's frozen every time I've used it, very annoying.

New free browser on the app store Terra Browser. Just downloaded and am trying it now. Can open loads of tabs, there's a fullscreen option, you can save web page and it seems pretty fast too.

The only negative I can find at the moment is that page scrolling seems a bit jerky.


It's free so well worth a look.

Sim fans might like to know that SimCity Deluxe for iPad came out today. Basically just a hd version of the iPhone app, which I thought was excellent.

Can anyone advise on the best app to assist with running / fitness etc? Is there an app that will map out your run from where you start etc?

Cheers

This is 79 cent today. Down from over 5 euro. Glad I waited to buy.

Anything else worth getting?

have you tried pulse news reader? It's now free, and is an excellent RSS feed reader for Ipad. very simple to set up and customise, and once you find the right RSS feeds (all the irish times feeds are here: http://www.irishtimes.com/feeds/rss/ ) you can get all the news you want for free.

I was considering buying a subscription to the times epaper till i found pulse, now i have all the main news from all the main irish daily and weekly newspapers all in one app.

pulse is excellent alright, but i have to say the sunday times app is worth the weekly price of the paper in its own right

Yeah, Pulse is also a great little app, one of my faves. But you can have both!

Not sure if you guys know about this but go and get Vevo HD. It's absolutely amazing. It just came out today in the States. It's a superb movie/music video app. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Thanks for the heads up! I didn't know there was a sale but I bought c&c, need for speed and sim city! How do you find mirrors edge and madden? Worth buying?

Found ME quite enjoyable & madden is a bit tricky at first but you get used to it.

I have the Sunday times app for the last few weeks. I wanted to buy last Sundays paper today which was being offered to buy. I clicked buy, entered my details etc and got the error "you have to purchase the Sunday times app before you can buy an edition". Tried several times & got the same response. Then I deleted the app and reinstalled. Now I'm not being offered the latest edition to buy.

Anyone had the same trouble? What can I do?

Only available on the US iTunes Store. You'll probably need a VPN to use it.
