    could maybe one of the mods make this thread into a sticky as i'm sure this thread will be viewed by many and frequently updated.

    just a thought!

    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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34 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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,705 ✭✭✭BrookieD

    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.

    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.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,585 ✭✭✭redman


    How long does it take to get codes once paid?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,188 ✭✭✭✭Cyrus


    its immediate :)

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

    God this iPad stuff is so cool!

    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,028 ✭✭✭✭Basq

    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:

    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.

    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


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,279 ✭✭✭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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,906 ✭✭✭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.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,806 ✭✭✭✭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
