Planet of the Apps

NBC Nightly News
Michelle's first app this week is NBC Nightly News. This app lets users view the news content right on their iPad.

Calc Bot
Jacob's first app this week is Calc Bot from Tapbots. It's a calculator that really improves the native one on the iPad. Jacob thinks it's probably not worth the price. He recommends PCalc Lite instead.

MyPad 2
Michelle's next app is MyPad 2. The wonderful people at Facebook have decided that they don't want to develop a native app for the iPad so there are lots of developers who have taken up the cause. Michelle likes this one, but it's far from perfect. She gives it 3.5/5.

Hipster City Cycle
Jacob's last app this week is Hipster City Cycle. It's an iPhone game, but because it's already intentionally pixelated, it looks ok blown up. Jacob likes it.

We reviewed Hipster City based on a viewer suggestion. If you have an app you'd like us to review, or a comment about the show you can email us at iPad@ThisWeekin.com, or you can find us on Twitter @TWiiPad.

See you next week!
