Anything good out there beyond the obvious? Recently bought an iPad and want to get a bit more out of it apps-wise. Currently the following get most of my attention:

1) Sky Player / Sky Go
2) Tune in Radio
3) eBay
4) Flipboard
5) MLS Matchday (bit of a soft spot for the Red Bulls)

Twitter
BBC iPlayer
dropbox
Documents to go
Whatsapp messenger

Angry Birds!

Only 1!?! That's cheating.

Bebot & Melodica
are my two favourite music apps

Plants vs zombies
Cleartune (if you need a great guitar tuner (better than an £80 boss tuner)
Musical fruit (i help make this one )

Just installed this. If Carlsberg made apps this is what they would be like.

For those that haven't tried it, it takes feeds from a variety of internet sources (social networks, news sites, photo libraries etc) and presents them in a magazine format. Works best on the iPad but there is an iPhone version as well now.

As above

tv catch up is good.

what does dropbox do?

pass de duchy pan the left hand side!

As an iPhone n00b.

1password
Dropbox
FL Studio
Dolphin
TED

Sounds similar to Taptu.

Instagram camera
iTorch
Tube deluxe
Words free and hanging free
Sky sports football score centre

It is - they both stream content. But it's presented so much better in Flipboard - there are loads of apps that stream content but I've never seen one turn it in to a magazine like that before. If you've got an iPad you have to install it.

EA Sports Tiger Woods PGA tour 12.

Any android ones?

My best friend works for the red bulls

Super stickman golf: (iPad) , best 69p I've ever spent.

Sky go: (especially if you don't have sky, but have a mate who has & is willing to give you their log in details)

The times: not the cheapest, but probably the best neutral journalism about

IMBd: movie reviews & info on actors etc

Betfair:

Ha, ha, joker. The Times is to neutral journalism what News International is to corporate ethical good practice.

Agree about Super Stickman Golf, amazing game and free on Android.

On me Android.

Zedge - masses of custom ring tones and alert tones.
Sky Sports News
F1.com
MP3 Music Downloader
BBC iPlayer

Also on Android

ESPN Goals (free PL highlights in near-realtime)
ES File Explorer
QQ Player (plays video no conversion required)
K9 Mail (best email app imho)
Spare Parts (battery management tool)

On my android:

Sky sports
Wifi Analyser
G Strings
Flash Player  :)
Chomp SMS

(I've excluded FB and Twitter as it'll make me look a bit sad.)

I reckon we should make these threads stickys.

Ipad
Android
I phone

I will sort the threads out Sunday. Working through the night and tomorrow I'm getting blotto, can't imagine I will manage it Saturday

Lazy cunt

Are you that cunt from the Paddy Power adverts?

On iPhone rated by the ones i use most (again, not including FB or Twitter)
1. Nav Free
2. Sky sports news
3. Sky sports score center
4. Pay pal
5 Ebay

The 12 days of christmas is a good app to have. Free APPS from apple from 26th Dec.

Which reminds me, 10p android apps are available for a imited time. See here:

Also assuming http://www.getjar.com/ is legit, they have some free apps at the moment, including tapatalk

That reminds me, I need to install Tapatalk on this forum.

Be good if you could bazza

I doubt you're alone in that wish then. I'll crack on with it in an hour or so.

Thanking you

Good man!

About fucking time ;)

I know, I know... :D

I was asked some time back, but the backend of this forum is all over the shop. My manual upgrades mean certain parts think it's version 1.0.19, others think it's 1.1.9 and others 1.1.10. Tapatalk requires 1.1.11 and the arcade requires 1.1.10.

It's quite unapproachable. I might just scrap the lot and do a clean install of SMF 1.1.15 or SMF 2.0 (I'd secretly love to move to XenForo) which will solve all the problems! :D

JFDI.

Hold on, what's that I hear....

:)

Any luck with going on tapatalk then?

It should work on 1.1.10 from what I've read.

Hmmm, that... I spent hours last weekend on it to know avail. It will be done, but it's truly, truly awful! :)


Oh really, seemed to imply only 1.1.11, in that case I'll backup later and have a go on a clone of this forum.

I think they say it's only supported from v 1.1.11 but in reality it does work. You have to change the premissions of the files in the mobiquo folder to chmod 755, and also the folder itself.

I prefer using my mobile browser to view forums I must admit.

XenForo is lush.

:nod: 

It'd be a nice Xmas present for the TEF, but I'm not sure everyone would be happy to receive such a gift.

I've found out how I'm going to solve the problems and install Tapatalk now, so maybe Thursday, when I'm fucking minging after a day session, will be a good time.

Mame is available on the iTunes app store for any old skool gamers out there.

It's called iMame - get it quick before Apple pull it.

I can sort a rom set out on DVD for anyone that needs it.

nice one, cheers

Learn how to quote properly.

Then you need the roms. You can download them (about 2Gb, PM me for links) or I'll burn a DVD for you (PM me).

Cheers

Can anyone recommend a calendar app that works cross ios (i.e blackberry/iphone) that sends text reminders?

I know O2 had the joggler but all users had to be on O2 to use it.

Just got the new Samsung Note 2 and I'm annoyed that it does not have a sky go app for it, I assumed all new modern smart phones would but obviously they don't, the fuckers.

The problem is that it is too new, Sky won't be releasing the app to any device running the Jelly Bean version of Android for at least a month i.e. blame Sky.

The problem is Sky are complete fuckers when it comes to Android.

Quite why they won't allow the previous version to be downloaded to JB devices is a mystery.

I['m stuck on Gingerbread, the old old app worked even though it wasn't available in Market for my device. The new app, not found a way to install it and it work :(

If you want to play old arcade games (ie Mame) on your iOS device download Gridlee. Do it quick as come Monday morning when Apple realise it's a full version of Mame which can be used by copying roms over they'll remove it.

Can i download snes roms for the ipad? If so, from where?

You'll need to jailbreak it first to run the SNES emulator. Then you need the SNES rom set, I normally go for the No Intro sets which you'll find on the main torrent sites.

I have a brand new ipad, i dont think there is a jailbreak yet?

Dunno. None of mine are jailbroken, other than my Apple TV.

Haven't tried it but looks like a full jailbreak is now available for iOS 6;

Can anyone suggest an app that will let you fill in online forms, edit documents  etc? Please

For anyone wanting to lose weight this is a great free (with non-intrusive ads) app:

The best thing is you can scan pre-packaged crap (if you have a data connection) and log the calories that way. Has a large database of  foods.

Look at me, I've gone all Daren Ward.

(17 st 6 -> 15 st 12  - I'm still a fat Bar Steward, but the change in diet is working)...

Good on you Batch. I have used it before and agree its really useful. I've lost loads of weight this year, just by cutting down on pints and upping my excercise a bit.

I have also been using this app - 14st 7 down to 13st 2. The longer you use it the easier it gets, as you build up info about things you cook at home regularly.

Well done Batch. I am using MFP too - it is quite staggering how many calories are in food. I drink lots of squash and that really adds up.

I've recently downloaded a time lapse camera app and it gives surprisingly good results.

There are a few apps that allow you to edit Office documents, if that's what you mean. Though the rumour is that Office itself will be making an appearance on iOS in the very near future. Another option for Office documents is Skydrive, the online editors are basic but they work ok especially on the iPad.
