Title: Got my first iPad... recommend some apps please
Post by: Mupepe on August 09, 2013, 05:22:33 PM
So I got an iPad for free, but I don't know what to download or do other than surf the net. Recommendations on cool games, apps or things to do would be appreciated. Also, is there an easy way to stream video content from my home PC? Its an iPad mini by the way.

Actually Frozen Synapse is seriously great if you have any interest in chess, but with guns, and the moves are takes simultaneously. Aesthetically it looks great as well.

IGN has Kingdom Rush for free.

http://www.ign.com/prime/promo/kingdomrush-ipad

It's a little rough around the edges but I like this Picross 3D clone.

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/oh!-cube/id496118657?mt=8

Into the Dead and Jetpack Joyride are ok Free to Play games that you don't actually need to buy anything from.

Luxor Evolved, Wargames and Plants vs Zombies are good enough if you're fine with casual games but I would wait until they're on sale.

To be honest 99% of my usage is from Chrome, Youtube, Tweetbot and Alien Blue.

I use Air Video and that works well for me. StreamToMe is also decent.

If you read comics, ComicGlass or ComicRack. Air Playit HD is a good streamer. And, the usual - Netflix, HBO Go, the TWC app if you have Time Warner cable. Games - Squids, Squids Wild West, Rebuild, the Spiderweb Software games.

Jailbreak that thing then install MovieBox.  Best decision you'll ever make.

i've been playing a game called Puzzle Craft recently.  pretty enjoyable because they don't make you feel like you have to spend money on the game to buy currency, like most other free games out there.


Slots - Pharoh's Way is a pretty good slots game you can play for a few minutes at a time.  i suppose its more useful on a phone than an ipad, though.

I found him, assuming he is Positive_Touch. That's the only name that popped up when I searched, I tried without the space.

Yes I did. I started remodeling my Springfield but didn't get very far, so it looks pretty rough right now.

It let me cancel Netflix, all my pay channels, and most of my high-end services with my satellite provider.  It's got almost EVERYTHING.

TouchArcade app is a great way to find out about new games.

Well you can't upgrade your os. I mean you can but it reverts the jailbrake. And sometimes the very latest new apps will require a later os but other than that nothing.
