Facepad for iPad
There’s a shame that there isn’t an official Facebook iPad out yet and other software companies are trying to benefit from that fact. Facepad from Loytr is a free app that is commercialized by showing ads in the bottom of the app.
However it’s really not worth a download. It’s a bit buggy (crashes every now and then), uses a very tiny and blurry font and really doesn’t offer you anything that justifies a download – even though it’s free.
I actually prefer surfing to Facebook through Safari than using this app.
Verdict: Not worth a download.

TriDefense – free today
TriDefense is a quite cool game where you have to build defense towers to stop incoming enemies to reach your fortress. If you like these kind of games you’ll probably like TriDefense as well – I enjoy it. Today you can get the game for free.
Chopper 2 – really cool!
If you have an iPad with a component cable or VGA adapter and an iPhone 4 you got to try this new game called ‘Chopper 2′. I think it’s really cool. You control the chopper using your iPhone 4 while the iPad is hosting the game and displaying it on your big screen. With this setup Chopper 2 delivers some true console gaming feeling even though the iPhone’s touch screen isn’t that great as a gaming controller. For $2.99 this is a must have if you already own the gear. Highly recommended. Check out some gameplay above (Note, this video is a few months old and the final game is even better).

Flight Control – Aircraft Carrier Commander
I just wanted to warn you guys for this $2.99 game called ‘Flight Control – Aircraft Carrier Commander’. I thought it was a new ‘Flight Control‘ from Firemint, but this is something completely different. It’s a really crappy game so stay away from it. I won’t even link to it.

Twitter for iPad
Until today I’ve been using the app called ‘Osfoora HD‘ for my iPad twittering needs but that changed today when Twitter launched their official app. It’s free and it’s a really, really good app! This is a must have if you’re a twitterer and own an iPad.
Air Display – app review
Today I have done a small test of the $9.99 app ‘Air Display’. The whole purpose with the app is using your iPad (or your iPhone) as a second screen. It’s a neat idea and an app I tried earlier (iDisplay) failed miserably so it was nice to find this app a whole lot more usable. Review and video inside.

StopMotion Recorder – iPhone app review
StopMotion Recorder is a cute little $0.99 app that will let you record short stop motion videos with your iPhone. Here’s our short review of the app.
Pro HDR – snap better iPhone 4 photos
Taking photos when there’s a combination of light and dark areas is kind of difficult, and to be able to capture even those moments there’s a technique called ‘HDR’ (short for High dynamic range imaging). You basically snap two photos with different exposure settings and combine the two images. There’s a great app for iPhone that does this process automatically, and the end results is pretty good!
Adobe Photoshop Express for iPad
Two days ago Adobe Photoshop Express was made available in the App Store, but it had a few terrible bugs so you couldn’t launch it in landscape mode. It got fixed yesterday and the new version at least works. But is the app any good?
Autostitch for iPhone – review
As the iPhone 4 features a really good camera different camera apps become more and more interesting. Today I tried the ‘Autostitch’ app from Cloudburst Research which is capable of stitching a bunch of images and creating 1 larger panorama photo.
