I'm interested in Technology - and I am an owner of an iPad, iPhone, and a MacBook! I'm quite an outgoing kind of guy, and perhaps a little too materialistic.
The xx App
Love this app, as would any other fans of The XX. It showcases the videos of a few of their songs, and allows you to connect to another device and play the videos together.
· app from iTunes
bestfriend its definitely weird that they have an app
beverlynoelle Love them! Any other cool features?
thathoo wow, awesome.... this is my fav XX remix... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1l4pDXbkic amazing amazing music...
lesayoh so this band has an app and a beer? haha ive been doing that joke all year
smithykj I love that remix too @thathoo! I got it on the You Got The Love EP. In response to @riddlefish, I'm not sure if any other bands have their own apps. This is the only one that I have come across though.
gkruis I'm pretty sure I've seen other bands with apps. Examples, I cannot give, however. And yes, @riddlefish, The xx are amazing. I'd definitely recommend checking them out. @thathoo, that remix is great - I'd also recommend checking out the Pariah remix of Basic Space. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXS3n94XPjI
Doodle God™ App
Such a fun and addictive app :) The aim is to create elements by fusing two elements together. It requires lots of logic, and patience, but it is a great pick-up-and-play game :)
· £0.59 app from iTunes
productjoy what two elements do you need to combine? can you please elaborate a bit more on the app, from you said so far it sounds pretty interesting!
smithykj There are several elements that you are given to start with. For example, Fire, Water, Stone, Earth. There are more than this to start with, but I can't list them all. You then combine pairs of elements to create others. So Fire + Water = Steam. Then you can use steam with another element to create something else.
riddlefish Crazy! That sounds fun--so is the ultimate goal creating new elements or do you use the elements to do things?
Word Lens App
A great app, a little unstable, but it is definitely going to be pioneering technology! The addition of more languages would be great.
Traffic Rush App
A fun game - got it when it was free! Not sure I would pay £0.59 or $1.00 for it though.
CNN App on iPhone
My favourite news network, so I really like this app. I do think though it is a little too video centred.
iTunes 12 Days of Christmas App
The picture isn't correct, dunno what that is showing...

but this is a great App from Apple!! It has been released every year for the past couple of years, during the Holiday Season. This app features a daily free gift from the 26th December to the 6th January.

It is only available for European users.
The Guardian Eyewitness App
Brilliant app, that showcases high-quality photos related to current events. Truly inspirational.
IM+ App
Not really a great app, but it iPhone/iPad backwards compatible and it's cheap. Basically, I needed MSN on my iPad and had no other choice.
· £0.59 app from iTunes
Fruit Ninja HD App
I bought this app first, before I got the iPhone version, and I was hooked! You need to try it to see what the fuss is about!
riddlefish Lol. From that snake's pupils it looks like he's had more than fruit. ;p So how is the iphone version different?
smithykj Lol, The Icon doesn't actually look like that! There isn't really many differences between the iPhone version and the iPad version, like most iPad games which are just the HD counterpart of the iPhone versions.
Ellie Goulding - Your Song
A great cover of a great song. I'm sure everyone will be able to relate to these lyrics.
· £0.99 song from iTunes
MizzBlaze Have you heard her cover of Rihanna's "Only Girl in the World"? pretty good
smithykj I haven't yet, actually. I'll get it now!
Infinity Blade App
My app of the year for sure. For me, it is the most revolutionary game for the iOS platform!!
· £3.49 app from iTunes
Boost 3D App
Such a great game, that is underrated. Very addicting, also.
· £1.19 app from iTunes
lesayoh what do you do. drink boost energy beverages
smithykj Haha! Afraid not. It uses the accelerometer, and is basically a course that you have to navigate around, avoiding all the blocks (obstacles).
Geared App
Loads of levels. Seems easy at first, but trust me, it gets very difficult!!
Bejeweled 2 + Blitz App
Good timewaster, quite a pick up and play game, when you're bored.
Cut the Rope: Holiday Gift App
Great game - 24 levels - free. Similar to the original, with a festive twist! Must have for the holiday season.
riddlefish Aw, fun! So the little guy just eats Christmas candy instead of regular candy?
smithykj The icon is a little misleading actually. I was expecting that that would be the candy used in the game, but actually the candy is exactly the same as the one used in the original. The Christmas theme is maintained by stockings and a Christmas Tree in the background :)
iTranslate App
The best translator ever! Looks just like the dashboard widget.
FarmVille by Zynga App
Great app for keeping up with your Farm on the move! It doesnt work as well as the desktop version by a long shot, however. Sometimes, it doesn't perform the functions that you instructed it to, but if you want to use this occasionally, then it should be fine for you.
VLC Media Player App
If you use this sort of thing, this is the best out there. Everyone knows about VLC for the desktop OS's! It works just as well on the iPad.
TED App
Haven't used this app yet, I've been experiencing some crashing issues. Hoping for an update!
eBay Mobile App
Really good for checking bids, and buying etc.
