A Few Of The Most Popular iPad Applications

By Mark Walters


The iPad is the popular new tablet computer from Apple. With so many apps available to entertain, how do you know which are the best? We've put together a guide of some of our favorites. NexFlix is a great app for people who like to watch television shows or movies while they're on the go. As long as you're in a wireless internet zone, the app allows you to stream content from thousands of TV shows and movies. Plus, if you already have a NetFlix account, the app is free.

Games are some of the more popular apps, and we love Plants versus Zombies in particular. It definitely has the seal of approval, having won over 20 game of the year awards. It's also done in high definition and comes with a range of levels. The concept of it is, admittedly, a bit weird, but it's fairly simple. The main purpose is to plant monstrous foliage in order to protect your 'house' from attack and the experience is hugely improved by the iPad's large screen.

Sometimes, you just want to catch up with your favorite newspaper when you're out and about but don't want to have to buy the paper copy. If this sounds like you, then we recommend the New York Times Editor's Choice. It's free for the time being and comes with all the normal sections that form the NYT, as well as lots of articles, photos and videos making it the next best thing to the real thing. It's also really clear and easy to ready on the iPad.

Social networking is an increasingly popular way of communicating and keeping in touch with people. Twitter is one of the more popular sites and the Tweetdeck app for iPad is a fantastic way of accessing the website on your tablet computer. The desktop version of Tweetdeck comes with a column-based display and the iPad version is no different. You can choose a 2 column vertical display or a 3 column horizontal display that allows you to see your friend's tweets.

Our last recommendation is Epicurious, an app that the food loves and keen cooks amongst you are sure to love. The app is free, comes with a fantastic database of recipes and has already been downloaded over 3.5 million times, meaning that it's massively popular. You can access recipes on your iPad no matter where you are, making this a hugely desirable app. There are lots of great recipe categories to choose from, such as 'decadent desserts', 'cool cocktails' and 'weeknight dinners'.
