Feeling nostalgic for the board game classics of your youth? Want to share your favorites with a new, tech-jaded generation? Well, whip out these apps on your iPhone or iPod touch for the board game experience in an app. We've updated this AppList so there is sure to be something for every board game fan.
We've updated this AppList with a handful of great new apps for TV fans with iPhones, iPod touches, or iPads. Whether you need listings, want to watch your favorite shows on your iDevice, or love TV trivia games, this AppList has something for every TV lover.
The Monster at the End of This Book (for iPad) is the iPad rendition of a favorite childhood book from Sesame Street. But is this app a worthwhile purchase to share with your little one?
There are many choices in the app store for getting the pertinent information on the latest films. Each has a plethora of features and a grand price of free, so you may want to try several for yourself. Here we outline the best of the bunch.
Thanks to our eagle-eyed readers, who let us know that Yahoo Entertainment is no longer available in the App Store, we have updated a couple of our popular iPad AppLists.
StripeCam lets you turn your photos into colorful striped, partly striped, or plaid pictures. It's a fun app that makes a great addition to any iPhoneographer’s bag of tricks.
Dear Readers, have we got a contest for you! QuikCam needs a new name. The winner will be credited in the app’s iTunes description plus receive 50 apps!
Your iPhone is a great way to send cards with mobility and style! Choose from these apps to send eCards via email or mms for the holidays, special events, or just to let someone know you care. Alternatively, some of these apps will allow you to send hard copy postcard greetings in the actual mail.
Sit back, relax with iDevice in hand, listen to relaxing music and let ARTREE grow beautiful trees for you. It’s part art (enjoyment, more than creation) and part relaxation. It’s a great way to make custom wallpapers or simply get your zen on.
If you get a lot of business cards and just hate carrying them around in your wallet, you have probably thought about getting a business card scanner. CamCard is one of the best options. To celebrate their newest update, this app, normally $6.99, is on sale for just $1.99 for a limited time.
QuikCam, formerly known as QuickCam, has just gotten an update with some great new features. The responsive developer has already updated this weeks-old app to reflect requests from users.
Due to several reader requests, we have revisited this AppGuide. Whether you like relaxing, zen-style aquariums and ponds or tycoon/management-style aquarium games, this extensive AppGuide is sure to have something for everyone on every kind of iDevice.
In the same vein as the popular apps that cartoonize your photos, Cartoonatic lets you take video with lots of fun cartoon effects for free. With an in-app upgrade, you can take cartoon photos as well.
3D Photo is not exactly what it sounds like from the name. You might be expecting something like 3D Camera, an app which allows you to create actual 3D photos that you would look at through those funky red and blue glasses. 3D Photo is really an art-photography app, more along the lines of Fracture or VideoScope. However, it’s really something different from any other app I’ve seen. It allows you to turn your photos into bizarre, three-dimensional art.
Have you developed (pun intended) a bit of an obsession with Instagram lately? If you’re one of the millions of iPhoneographers around the world who have, you’re not alone. Lucky for us, some creative folks out there have come up with some really cool things to do with Instagram beyond simply using the app.
Check out how America looked over 100 years ago with the new iPad app Panoramic City Views USA. With nearly 30 major U.S. cities included, there are plenty of maps for you to see.
We don’t often review free apps, but this one is just too much fun. Tiny Planets bends your photo around onto itself to mimic the look of, well, a tiny planet. Or, you can bend your photo the opposite way to create a tube shot. Basically, Tiny Planets does effortlessly in seconds what photographers labor over for hours in Photoshop.
With the addition of the OverDrive Media Console to the App Store (and a request from one of our readers), we felt this AppGuide was due for an update. And of course, with the arrival of the iPad 2 and all the new iPad owners out there, more and more people are reading books on the iPad. Luckily there are many wonderful options for reading on the iPad. Actually, most of these apps are universal, so if you have an iPhone or iPod touch (in addition to or instead of an iPad) and you like to read, you will definitely find this AppGuide useful.
As the iPad's popularity grows, so does the number of websites with iPad apps to optimally access their sites. We've added some more of our very favorites to this AppList.
