29/09/11 – The apps no iPad, iPhone or iPod touch should be without are revealed today by Tap!, the authority on Apple’s iOS devices.
Tap!’s experts have trawled the App Store’s 400,00-plus apps and selected only the very best – whether you want to play games, make music, shop, travel the world, organise your life or something else entirely.
Divided into 10 easy-reference sections – Communicate, Create, Learn, Organise, Play, Read, Relax, Shop, Travel and Work – Tap!’s unmissable guide encompasses the paid apps that are well worth the money and the free ones that are worth their weight in gold.
Christopher Phin, Editor, says “Not to put to fine a point on it, there’s a lot of rubbish on the App Store, so finding the truly great apps is difficult. Happily, that’s where Tap!’s team of experts come in, and we’ve drawn up our list of the hundred apps everyone should own today.”
The 100 Greatest Apps of all Time are in the new issue of Tap! The iPhone and iPad magazine, out today on newsstands and in the new monthly iPad edition.
Created on the iPad, for the iPad using a brand-new software platform, Tap’s iPad edition takes advantage of all the revolutionary features offered by Apple’s tablet.
Video content brings you closer to the action and photography can be swiped through 360°.
Text can be searched, resized, selected, shared with social media, and even read aloud to you – ideal for visually-impaired readers.
And handy how-tos and video guides will make tablet beginners into experts in no time.
Tap!’s iPad edition is a unique new approach to magazines on the iPad.
The 100 Greatest Apps of all Time are in the new issue of Tap! The iPhone and iPad magazine, out today on newsstands and the App Store. To see the Tap! iPad edition in action visit www.tapmag.co.uk/app.
