Just wondering is there any magazine reading apps?
I know there is one called zinio but it does not seem to be available on the irish store and only has american magazines..is there any such app aimed for ireland/uk magazines?

Thanks.

Really addictive game and takes advantage of the touch screen in a clever way.

But mostly really, really addictive. Cheap as well.

Is this a game where we have to guess the app your talking about?!

darsar · 19-04-2010 9:05am

For anyone who uses Ping or free foto messenger, Yak Messenger is far superior. Not only cab you send text and picture, you can also send video/movie and audio voice clips. Great app

Thanks for the tip about Angry Birds - absolutely brilliant:)

+1 Angry Birds - extremely addictive, I'm getting no work done.

If you open a US iTunes account you can get the zinio app. It's free. It's a little slow but it's not bad.
Instructions on opening a US itunes account here:
http://www.ghacks.net/2009/02/09/create-a-free-us-itunes-account-from-any-country/
It's very easy.

Also you can also get a free year long subscription to the digital copy of any magazine by following instructions here:
http://goreadgreen.com/

They have a good range from Elle magazine to Popular Science.If you use a different email address for each one you can subscribe to as many as you like for free. You can just make up the email addresses as there's no confirming associated with it. They're added to your Zinio account and then you can read them on the iPod/iPhone/iyoke of your choice.

Great little game, very clever. Like a cross between that hit the penguin game and lemmings. I've only downloaded the lite version but I'll definitely get the full version.

Looptastic is great.

Lads any of you using a time management/billings app that easy to use and possibly has a desktop version

eamon234 · 21-04-2010 12:40am

Just downloaded the free Marvel iPhone app - I didn't think they could pull off comics on the iPhone but they have it's brilliant loads of free comics too!

jcrowbar · 21-04-2010 2:05pm

Just downloaded ezShare Pro. It's the most expensive app that i've bought at 12.99 but it's worth every cent. Well worth a look if you like shuffling files from place to place. It has built in remote desktop and vnc too.

tophurler · 21-04-2010 2:45pm

As mentioned by a previous poster, just downloaded 18 lonely planet guides for various cities which are free at the moment due to the hassle with the volcano, usually priced at either 7.99 or 12.99 so brilliant bargains!

peterdaly · 21-04-2010 3:03pm

nice thread, I just tried out photofunia app, nice free one.

I had great making pictures of astronauts with my sons head in the helmet and turning my daughter into the Mona Lisa...!!!

So i thought i'd use up a 3V voucher i had which had a few euro on it. €3 something like that. So i bought a €0.79 game, but the voucher was charged €1.98. Downloaded another game, but didn't seem to get charged for it. Went to download a third game, but it got rejected because there wasn;t enough crdit opn the card, they were trying to charge me €2.37 for a €.79 game.

What's up with that??

Anyway, tried the hipporemote lite. Amazing little app.

Could not find diskaid, can anyone recomend an app, which turns your iphone/itouch into an external hard drive, when plugged into a PC's USB port

jonny_b1 · 22-04-2010 10:21pm

Think ezshare might do sometimg like that

tipperaryboy · 23-04-2010 1:04pm

Asphalt 5 has to be one of the best racing games..online multiplayer is really really good.well worth 3.99

bnt · 28-04-2010 9:50am

Found a special offer: Namco's Pool Pro Online 3 is normally $4.99, but it's free today in the iTunes Store. (I'm downloading it now, thought I should mention it straight away.)

I follow various iDevice news sites in Google Reader, which is how I hear about these things. Like Appcraver, Appversity, Appsafari, Touch Arcade. I should have mentioned the Sword Of Fargoal free offer last week ... sorry.

Krieg · 30-04-2010 10:34pm

Ageing booth
guardian
Myst - not everyone's cup of tea but still a fantastic game
Angry birds
flight control
app box pro

All above (except myst) I would rate as must have app's.

Revenue have just put out a new App for claiming Health Expenses which can only be done a year in arrears. It allows for any doctors/physio visits etc to be input at the time of the event and once the year is over will do the sums and submit to revenue once you have a pin etc to access PAYE Anytime.

Hi, just wondering what this app is called.....
Thanks

bnt · 06-05-2010 6:20pm

Some apps on limited time free offer: http://www.macintoshos.com/free-games-iphone-ipod-touch-ipad/102.html

So far I've only tried one (Coolrado), which is still free today.

Wossack · 06-05-2010 10:14pm

I use appshopper to keep up to date with freebies - http://appshopper.com/iphone/free/

if youre quick i'd recommend 'fly, kiwi fly!', free for limited time

Creamy Goodness · 06-05-2010 10:17pm

anyone know of a ftp app that i can use to upload photos to my web site? or any way to get photos from my phone to my site without connecting to a computer.

finbarrk · 07-05-2010 11:48am

The Eurosport app seems to be one of the best for sports results. Sky Sports is too slow and limited.

soundsham · 07-05-2010 4:47pm

any good brick breaking games

Are the BBC stations on LastFM locked to the UK?
Anytime I try using them they load to 82% but never more

Is there any good radio app that includes BBC5 live ?Preferably free!
