Okay, here it is - the thread for recommending iPad apps. I've only had my iPad for a week at this point, without too much time to fiddle with apps, so I have nothing much to contribute at this point other than Netflix and Angry Birds. BUT, let's all use this space to recommend some favorite apps or ask "is there an app that does x?" So, friends - let's help each other unleash the potential of our iPads. :ninja hehe - ninja
I love Instagram on my iPhone. Not sure it's quite as compelling with the iPad but if you're out and about it's a really fun way to post and share photos.
Words With Friends HD (Or Reg for small iOSes) nice scrabble game I'm playing along with a bunch of other people on the board.
Infinity Blade: For the hardcore gamers. Awesome graphics, currently playing, looking for some multiplayer action.
Dropbox. (Or Box.net or other cloud services)
Official Twitter app works the best for the price of free.
Week Calendar HD improves and enhances on the base calendar provided by Apple, but if your happy with Apple's, then you won't need it :)
Skype App!
GoodReader is a good file management app as well as a great PDF reader.
iMovie/Garageband. Depending on whether you like working with vids or music :).
I'll have more later.

Oooh, I have a question about the calendar. I've noticed it synced with my Google account, which was great. But I have 5 or 6 different calendars applied to my gCalendar, some of which I created, some of which I didn't. But the iPad is only syncing with my personal calendar. How do I get it to sync with all of the calendars applied to my gCalendar?

Did you click the "Calendars" button in the iPad's calendar app? Its at the top left. If that doesn't work, umm, let me look into it, it should be simple though.

Ok, just in case that didn't work, check this page out, it should fix your problem:

x2 on Infinity Blade, cool game.
I love Star Walk as well, Zinio for magazines, HD Recorder for recording comment for podcasts, and we have a great auto racing game, just can't recall the name..
Btw, my Gamecenter name is the same as the name to the left: "KingIsaacLinksr" if you want to add me. :)
A few more Apps: Instapaper and ReadItLater are good for reading articles in a better way at a later time. I use both a lot.
AirVideo: For running your non-Apple videos without needing to take over your desktop. "Streamtome" may also work if you want Audio, though I have not personally used it.
iBooks, Dark Horse, Kindle, Marvel, DC, ComiXology for any reading that you may need to do. :) (There is also a Nook app)
There are a bunch of native google apps as well if you use their services, as well as even more Web-apps.
TuneIn Radio for all your radio needs.
Star Walk: For observing the stars and listening to Rick's Stargazer album :P

Photoshop express does an ok job for free. Although iOS 5 will replace it.

Rico, Photogene is the app I use. Very intuitive, good set of options.
As for other app recommendations, I have a bunch but I don't have the time right now to post them. I will condense my blog posts into something manageable later tonight.

I haven't gotten around to actually doing this yet, but it's a great resource. Thank you!
Now for another question - it's there a good (free or cheap) word processor? Like an Open Office equivalent? Or does it just make more sense to log into Google Docs on Safari? And speaking of Safari, there's not another broswer available, is there? ;)
Keep the suggestions coming. Making this topic stick.
I'll just list the ones I currently have installed, that I use regularly. I'm not a big app guy, mostly because my iPad is used exclusively for movies, books, comics, and web surfing. None of those things (except for comics which I already said I use Cloudreaders for) require any apps.
Most if not all of these are free.
USA Today - digital version of their newspaper
Slacker Radio - internet radio stations
Radio.com - more internet radio, includes some local stations, used to be called CBS radio
CNN - great news site, obviously
Netflix - this was probably the first app you downloaded if you subscribe
ABC Player - free access to a limited number of current ABC shows with some commercials
Crackle - free app with a selection of Sony produced movies and TV shows with commercial breaks inserted in
iBooks - IMO the best book reader for the iPad is the one that comes with your iPad
Cloudreaders - I've talked about this in other threads, the best free comic reader
HBO Go - if you subscribe to HBO, shows a TON of content. Huge number of on demand movies, all their original series, extras, shorts for on demand viewing through wifi or 3G. Has the ability to subscribe to complete seasons of shows and it reminds you when they become available for viewing. Awesome app.
Xfinity TV - For Comcast subscribers, makes all the premium content available to stream instantly on your iPad. Some bugs but generally works well.
Yelp - I rarely use it, especially wary of the social networking aspects of this app, but I've gotten some good local resturaunt recommendations. Contains reviews and recommendations of businesses all over the world.
Epicurious - Great, free, huge database of recipes available. Ingredient lists and recipe instructions integrate with notes, MMS, and email to assist with shopping and sharing.
Skype - You all know what this is. I have no idea how good it is on iPad 2, havemt really used it much on my iPad since I have it on my iPhone
TED - neat video database of hundreds of speeches on a wide variety of topics. Many are interesting and educational as well as entertaining.
Night Stand - Adds a basic, functional alarm clock and stopwatch with a variety of skins. Dunno if iPad 2 has this, but amazingly, the original iPad did not ship with this functionality.
EGM Digital - very cool digital format for their video game magazine. Content has been updated weekly so far, very neat interactive articles.
I've tried alot of games, but only a few have been keepers. Infinity Blade, Need For Speed Hot Pursuit, Dead Space, Plants vs. Zombies, Civilization Revolution, Pinball HD get lots of play from me when I'm on the go.
There are many alternative browsers, but Safari has worked just fine for me. Just search for browsers :).
There are very few if any OpenSource programs on iOS because they believe the DRM violates their policy. (tbh, I think they are being too picky, but whatever). Pages works nicely, i used it to create four very long papers for this term. there are a few alternative programs that Rick P. uses. Though I can't remember the names off hand. QuickOffice I think is one oh and Office2HD, though I found that Office2HD is way too simple to use and buggy.

I'm really looking forward to the Safari update in ios 5, for the true tabbed page browsing feature. I absolutely HATE how the pages refresh every time you switch currently. This will really improve the functionality of mobile web browing with Safari IMO.

Yeah, that was the only reason I was looking for an alternative browser so now I'm just going to wait. :)

Great suggestions Joby. I'll check many of them out.
I'm looking for good magazine type content/suggestions too - beside apps. Things that have tech content, entertainment news, etc. I'll probably subscribe to that digital version of the "Star Trek" magazine soon too. I wonder if Entertainment Weekly has a digital version for subscribers? That would be awesome!
Wired has a digital edition, never tried it tho.
Check out the Zinio app. It is a magazine reader that many magazines use rather than creating their own apps. Star Trek is one of their many titles. I use it a lot.
I use Perfect Web Browser. It is an excellent alternative and supports the ability to report as other browsers (important when some sites check the UserAgent to determine compatibility and this can make a site work with the iPad)
You guys know with that Splashtop App running you can access and use your PC's browser too! :)
I've got to try that one, does it work with Macs?

Just started using Instacast on my iPhone. It's basically a way to manage all your podcasts without having to sync via iTunes. It also doesn't suffer from iTunes' caching issues. If you make a change to your feed, it's visible right away.
It allows you to download episodes, stream episodes, has options to only download shows automatically when it's in wifi, etc. I think this is going to be my new way to consume podcasts.
SplashTop for the Mac = COOL!!!

I've been using this for quite a while now. Its a great app. My podcasts are always there when I want them, you'll never use iTunes to sync podcasts ever again!
Another Q about Splashtop...do you have to be on the same wifi network or does it work over 3G?
Quote from: Jobydrone4of20 on June 10, 2011, 08:30:36 AM
Another Q about Splashtop...do you have to be on the same wifi network or does it work over 3G?
That one I can't answer. I don't have a 3G iPad.
I used to have an app that supposedly worked like that over 3g, but it took so long to load and would drop out, buffer etc., that I eventually deleted it.
Obviously over 3G you are entering a much bigger set of issues and connection troubles. But I can tell you over wireless at home for me it's like having my desktop PC with me on my lap on the iPad screen. Very sweet App!
I would suggest checking the app's Developer Website link in the App Store. For that app to work over 3G, it would have to be able to go through your router's firewall. My guess is that unless this product gave instructions on how to do this, the default behavior is not to work over 3G (or for that matter, an external WiFi connection).
Rico, can you access your desktop using this product from your work office or Starbucks or Panera?
I use a different product for remote access to my desktop and servers. it will definitely work over 3G and external WiFi but I did have to make a few port security changes in my firewall to allow it.
It has an experimental feature that will look for your computer over the Internet as opposed to the local network but I'm not sure if that includes 3G.
I haven't had a chance to try it over "Wifi in the wild" yet. I've heard it's possible, but again you need to configure some stuff on your home network and router I think.
Yeah you'd have to either know your public IP address (which can change) or use a service like DynDNS, then port forward to your machine. Of course then your computer is on the internet with open ports. :)
Exactly. I just like the app a lot for being able to remotely access my main PC in my Rico-Cave when I'm in other areas of the house with my Padd. :)
I got this app but have been having PC issues with it. If I use it too much, my main PC gets really messed up. I have to like take a good ten minutes to get it to restart. Anyone have issues with that?

Not that I've noticed yet Rick. But I haven't used it a ton yet. Are you talking about if you start and stop the Splashtop App on your iPad multiple times?
Not experienced anything like that Rick. Does the PC just become unresponsive?
I guess I need to just use it for an hour or so, switching back and forth is causing problems.
yeah, it locks up and then crashes with a fatal windows error
What version of Windows is everyone using for this app? Windows 7 (32/64 bit)? XP SP_? Perhaps there is a compatibility issue with the version of Windows you are using (or a driver issue)...
Working fine for me on Windows 7 32bit and Mac OS X 10.6.6 but I've not used it for extended periods.
yeah, it could be. I'm running XP sp3
Yeah could very well be an XP compatiblity issue, especially if there is a client (or is it a server?) you have to install on the machine.

Yes you have to install the server on the computer.
For those wanting to get the app to work over the Internet, here is a support document from their web site that speaks to how to do it:

Hey, on a different app subject. Anyone know of a good iPad screen capture program? Something to save a pic of whatever you have on screen at the time? I'm not sure if it's really possible to do this since the iPad doesn't really multi-task exactly, but I thought I'd ask.
Hey - Google to the rescue. If you press in the power button on the side and the home button together, quickly and at the same time a screenshot will be taken and save to your iPad. Pretty cool stuff!
not sure if anyone has said this already, but google earth. it's free and you can see the whole world! plus when you switch to space mode you can go stargazing from anywhere.
Anybody recommend an app for designing logos or creating images from scratch? I want tovcreate original designs with text to use online.

Btw I tried the splashtop app in the wild, even over wifi is it is not particularly fast or snappy. Now granted, the home wifi can't upload a tremendous amount to the Internet very quickly so that might affect it too.

Hey Wordpress bloggers/users. What App do you use to update your Wordpress sites with using an iPhone or iPad? And I mean a Wordpress site hosted on my own - not at Wordpress.com or Wordpress.org.
I'm using the official app...but I'm pretty sure that's not what you need so I couldn't tell you on that one. =\

The "official" app only works with Wordpress hosted stuff. I'm looking for an app to make mobile posting to Wordpress sites easier - rather than just doing it via the browser.
Found this list of "Star Trek" type apps. Not sure if all are still available or worth the money. Check them out:
App name (in italic) followed by developer.
LCARS Calculator - CedeSoft
LCARS Clock - CedeSoft
DiagnosticPADD - Park Bench Software LLC
iCARS Interface - Nick O'Neill
iScanner Tricorder - Adam McElhaney (more suited to iPhone/iPod)
STARSS - Christopher Kriens
Tricorder TR-580 - Matthias Schorer (more suited to iPhone/iPod)
Trek Quest HD - Matthias Schorer
LCARS Speed Block - Dei Machiavelli
I'm curious if they will get removed soon, as CBS seems to have no tolerance for anyone even remotely using its property.
King
Most of those Trek related Apps seem to have been up for awhile - at least for now.
Hey, I may have asked this before, but is there any type of file manager App for the iPad. I do wish I could delete comics, videos, etc. right on the iPad in their respective apps rather than connecting the device to my PC, and deleting them via iTunes.
Anyone ever try: GoAruna, or ReAddle Docs, or Zen viewer for their iPad??
Quote from: Rico on June 26, 2011, 09:45:08 AM

GoodReader is one of the best, if not THE best. Its constantly being updated by the developers with new and free features so $4.99 is a great bargain. I personally use it for the ease of use, its connection to Appigo's Todo and the built-in auto-sync features.
Zen Viewer has a greater emphasis on UI and visuals, but since it is new, it is fairly lacking and so far hasn't been updated since its initial release. It does not have an auto-sync feature, (though it does connect to some cloud services). Its PDF-reader is also very lacking in comparison, but GoodReader was built with some amazing PDF capabilities so its a bit unfair I suppose.
The other two you mentioned I have not used.
King
I'm pretty sure you can delete anything without connecting to itunes. I know in Cloudreaders if you slide your finger across a title you'll get a delete option, just like deleting emails. To delete a video hold your finger over the icon and you'll get an X in the top left corner.
Got this new App last night from Wacom called Bamboo paper. Fun little drawing program. Free app until the end of June. Here's a 2 minute drawing I did - with my finger!
I heard about this app, I know Wacom is selling a stylus to go along with it, though I hear the reviews of the Boxwave stylus are better.
I just got the Boxwave stylus from Amazon and it's nice. I didn't try it with this App yet, but I will. I do like the Boxwave A LOT better than the Pogo style sold in the Apple stores (which I returned).

Hey, just wanted to let folks know that EA games seems to be having a big App sale right now. Lots of stuff is now only $0.99. I just bought Monopoly for my iPad. Catch the deals while you can.
Yeah I bought Scrabble. The cool thing about this game is if you have an iPhone, you can download a free companion app that lets you use your phone as your letter tray. You flick your tiles from the phone on to the iPad.
I almost got Scrabble too. Maybe I'll still grab it for that price. I think these games were at $4.99 and up before this sale.

A few games to recommend:
Airport Mania: Time-management game that is fun and quirky, with you directing airplanes to the right place. If you don't do it quite quickly enough, they become angry. Its pretty laid back for a time-management game. :)
Train Conductor 1 & 2: Another time-management game where you move trains to the right tracks on many levels. I reviewed this game on my blog a while back. One of my favorite games :).
Robotek HD: Chance-based strategy scifi game about you taking the world back from the take-over of the robots. Pretty graphics and balanced gameplay. Free-to-play, but you don't need to pay-to-win. :)

Good round up of Game App's here:

Actually, I didn't realize but that link above is more than game apps. It's a whole round up of 75 apps PC Magazine suggests to try. The list starts with games. Some good suggestions in there I think.
Haven't had any app recommendations for a while so I'll throw out one:
Flipboard. For iPad only. Basically, if you want to read from a variety of sources such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or even your RSS reader, this app will put them all into a magazine-type format. Very nifty and I use it from time to time to catch up on the day's news. You can even add from other sources for Tech news and such. Very touch friendly with all sorts of ways to open, close and flip between stories. I really enjoy using it. :) Its free too.

That sounds interesting Tim, thanks.
Yeah Flipboard is how I read facebook, twitter, Instagram and my Google Reader feeds on my iPad. Great app. It even has an "Oprah" featured feed that Fran likes :)
Anyone try the "Ball Invasion" game yet?

please do, that game is on my "pile of shame" in that I've never played it but know I really would like it.
Played a bit tonight, it's really fun! The graphics and controls are surprsingly good and the game is surprisingly deep. I think it's only 3 or 4 bucks, I recommend giving it a go!
Getting my iPad tomorrow.. can't wait to start exploring it. I'll be sure to go through this thread and find all the cool apps everyone is recommending.
I think it's been mentioned somewhere else but Skype released a native iPad version yesterday. The interface is much, much nicer for the iPad screen! It's free, but you have to go back to the app store and download the iPad version (it won't update to the native one, it's not universal) and then delete the iPhone version you may have already installed.
Yeah got it yesterday, much nicer looking. It's strangevthey just didn't update and make a universal app. I would think the basic functionality underneath the UI would be the same.

http://www.labnol.org/software/record-skype-calls-on-ipad/19889/ (http://www.labnol.org/software/record-skype-calls-on-ipad/19889/)
Yeah, on that Skype for iPad...my profile menu is not there. Everything I read says to just click on your icon in the upper left...hmm, nothing there! The only thing I see is the "Tags" button. Nothing else. Pretty ugly app so far.

Getting my iPad tomorrow.. can't wait to start exploring it. I'll be sure to go through this thread and find all the cool apps everyone is recommending.
Didn't know you had purchased one. I thought you were just thinking about it. WiFi only or WiFi + 3G?

If your talking about your DVD queue, umm, there is Flixster. But it's a so-so way of handling it. The official app is the way to go for instant streaming.

Besides just using the Netflix app itself (which seems to work ok for me), just open a browser and log into your Netflix account there. Easy to manage your queue right at the source. :)
I use this webpage to see what is currently released in each genre ,you can also manage Que and instantly watch from there.

I thought they took DVD queue management out of the Netflix app for iPad? I haven't looked since I cancelled the DVD potion of my scrip.
The Netflix official app doesn't allow you to manage your DVD queue and when you load your queue page on an iOS device (iPhone or iPad) the page is very slow to respond. That's why I've used one of the apps on my iPhone for years. I was hoping there was a good iPad one but haven't come across any yet.
Thanks,

You mean when you go to Safari or other browser your Neflix queue loads slow for you? Hmmm.
Gameloft is having a sale right now - games at $0.99. I just picked up Dungeon Hunter 2 HD for the iPad which is a Diablo-like game. Normal price I think is $6.99. Check them out!
I guess I'm confused then. What do you mean by manage your instant queue? I'm on my iPad NetFlix app and can add, delete, watch whatever on it.

Not so much that it loads slow but once the page opens if I try to go up or down the page or tap on an item it takes 5-15 seconds for it to react. This happens on all browsers that I've tried on my iPad.

Found a really cool App called Goodplayer. It seems to be able to play just about any media type file on my iPad. If you have your computer set up with some kind of server function (such as TVersity), you can stream files right off your computer too. Or just move them to the iPad and then play them. I've also tried it with several types of file formats and all seem to work great. I've also AVPlayer HD too, but that one seems to require you to move the files to your iPad. Anyway, give it a try.

Here's a suggestion for Rick Moyer --- Animoog. A very cool Moog synth for the iPad, iPhone, etc. Only 0.99 right now (normally $29.99!!!). Maybe you already have this, but it seems perfect for you!
One of my friends here from the forum messaged me this morning and suggested it, then bought it for me! SO COOL! Can't wait to jump into it.
I'm doing a memorial today for a family, but when I'm done I'm going to mess around with the Moog app. SO COOL!
Thanks guys! And thanks my friend, you know who you are, for gifting me this app.

Just a quick FYI on the Dolphin HD browser...the security flaw described in the linked article is for the Android version, not sure if it carries over to the iPad browser. I'm kind of glad I didn't use this for more than a day anyway, seems pretty shady to me.
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news/2011/10/major-privacy-flaw-found-in-dolphin-hd-browser-for-android.ars (http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news/2011/10/major-privacy-flaw-found-in-dolphin-hd-browser-for-android.ars)
Major privacy flaw found in Dolphin HD browser for Android
By Ryan Paul | Published 3 days ago
Dolphin HD has long been our favorite third-party Web browser for Android. Its excellent tabbed user interface, add-on system, and gesture support have made it a popular choice among Android enthusiasts. But recent versions of the browser have introduced a startling privacy flaw.
Discussions in the XDA forums and a report published on the Android Police blog yesterday revealed that every URL loaded in Dolphin HD is relayed as plain text to a remote server. The article includes screenshots from a packet sniffer that clearly demonstrate the issue—it's an unambiguous breach of privacy.
In response to the resulting controversy, the company behind Dolphin issued a statement explaining the situation. Recent versions of Dolphin introduced a feature called Webzine that offers a specialized presentation of websites. When a user visits a website, the URL is relayed to Dolphin's servers which determine whether the Webzine view is supported for the specified destination. The company contends that the data is not collected or retained. It subsequently issued an update to disable the feature and said that it will be made opt-in in future versions.
As a frequent user of Dolphin HD, I was disappointed by this privacy blunder. In addition to failing to inform users of this dubious practice up front, Dolphin's developers also made poor implementation decisions that exacerbated the privacy risk. It's fortunate that the Android enthusiast community detected this behavior.
I don't use this one, I use iCab mainly, or Safari.

Hey, anyone get the Oink app yet? It lets you take pics of things and rate them from love them to dislike them. From Kevin Rose of Diggnation. Try it out and follow my Oinks too!
P.S. It also interfaces with Facebook and Twitter - of course.
Got it the other day, still getting my head around it. It looks nice but it needs an "invite" feature to get other people on it. Some pretty nice features.
I looked for tasty burgers and it recommended a restaurant about 5,500 miles away! Lol I wish! ;)
Anybody using any TV check in apps? We talk a little about them in the latest Out Of Range but my favourite at the moment is Miso.

Lol yes if you search for it. Actually the food aspect of it is pretty good. You can search for particular meals and it will show you recommendations in your area.
Yes Oink is interesting, it's not so much about checking in and more about rating specific things (such as a particualr menu item at a restaurant) I was actually thinking of using it to start rating Trek episodes s I watch TNG.
Anyone get Star Wars Arcade Gunner yet?
No but I will now!
It's pretty fun. Sit in a desk chair in a dark room and try the AR mode. :)
It's ok, but the controls are poor and you'll often miss fighters even at point blank range. I do not recommend getting it, it's overpriced.

Yeah, if you look at 99% of the games on the leaderboards, they are all cheating at #1-5. Don't know how, but its probably a jailbreak or something.

Better than the built-in notes editor because the notes actually show up on your PC and it has more fonts, sizes and works really well. :)

Is it true there's no search function to browse the catalog? I heard only recommended items and your queue were accessible at the moment. This needs fixing ASAP.
