The Best iPad Apps Of The Week

April 10, 2011
Although sports and traveling apps ruled the week, nothing could stop a collection of 30 year-old games from being "AppAdvice’s iPad App Of The Week." AppAdvice’s iPad App Of The Week – Atari’s Greatest Hits Atari’s Greatest Hits is now available to download for free in the App Store. The universal app comes with one classic “retro” game pre-loaded, however, users can buy more game packs, each of which includes four games, for $0.99 each (via an in app purchase). A classic “retro” design, a multiplayer mode (via Bluetooth), and a wide variety of downloadable games, mean iOS device owners won’t be disappointed with this application. (Universal) Others WatchESPN WatchESPN allows Apple fans to enjoy live streaming feeds of ESPN, on their iDevice, on the go. Currently, the app is available to download for free – however, access to the application is determined by the users’ TV provider. These include:
  • Bright House Networks, Time Warner Cable & Verizon FiOS TV – ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3 and ESPNU are available to fans who receive ESPN as part of their TV package
  • Verizon High Speed Internet – If you do NOT receive TV service from an above provider, but receive high-speed internet from Verizon, you will have access to ESPN3
(Editor's Note: Oops, this is an iPhone app. Sorry about that.) The Masters Tournament The Masters Tournament app proves that streaming live sporting events works great on Apple's tablet.
