Tapbots releases Tweetbot for iPad

The world isn't exactly lacking in Twitter apps. It is lacking in good ones however. In my opinion Tweetbot is the best iPhone Twitter client. Which usurped my pervious favorite Twitterrific. 

Today Tweetbot for iPhone was updated to version 2.0 which features speed improvements and new cosmetic features. As a surprise Tapbots also released an iPad version of Tweetbot. I appreciate the surprise release instead of some bullshit countdown site and yada yada.

A lot of the features that make the iPhone app great are in the iPad version including swiping to see replies and the conversation and the best feature of all, muting people.

Tweetbot has a ton of features that would be too long to list so head over to their site and check out the intro video to the app and make your decision. Tweetbot is not a universal app so each version is $2.99. Worth it.

New iPhone app 'Clear' wows with intuitive interface

I'm a sucker for great UI and design. Clear, from creators of MacHeist, The Heist, Classics and Twitterrific, is a to do list manager with really slick controls.

As you can see in the video posted below, Clear has a very intuitive interface for creating, managing and moving into and out of lists. For me Clear probably won't replace Apple's own to do list, Reminders, but I do hope this type of interface gets riffed on in other apps similar to how the "pull to refresh" permeated through the app store after debuting in Tweetie.

App Recommendation: Run Roo Run [iOS]

From the guys that brought you Scribblenauts comes Run Roo Run. Run Roo Run puts you in control of a kangaroo on a mission to save her joey from the other side of Australia. Currently only available on iPhone and iPad.

The game is 2D and looks very indicative of Angry Birds but is not physics based. Instead 'Roo' auto-runs and you must hop over obstacles and clear the level that is only the length of the screen. Jumping can be achieved by tapping anywhere. At first you still only be faced with jumping over rocks, water and spiky walls but later on you will be faced with tires you must plan your bounce off, air lifts, break away platforms and a whole lot more. For only 99 cents I've had a pretty good time with it. There is also an iPad version for $1.99.

Microsoft releases My Xbox LIVE app for iOS

Hot on the heels of the latest dashboard update Microsoft has released a new app for iOS for Xbox Live. The app is universal and looks and feels very much like a Windows Phone 7 app. In the app you can read and send messages, view friends list, edit your bio, change features of your avatar, view and set beacons and view all of your achievements complete with a search feature.

The app is very beautiful and instantly had me jealous of Windows Phone users, well just a little. Creating the app is an interesting move considering the Xbox Live features are a big selling point for Windows Phones. Xbox apps are noting new to iOS. Microsoft even had to demand that all Xbox apps be free in the past. This is definitely the best looking and most easy to use iOS Xbox app I've used.

EpicWin app walkthrough

Do you wish every aspect of your life would resemble a video game? Do you imagine your car GPS is a map of Hyrule? Is a Redbull your daily power-up? If the only thing missing was gaining XP for daily tasks, then your life is about to get a lot more delusional.

EpicWin is a new iPhone app that is essentially a to-do list but also gains you XP for each competed task. I'm liking the design of the app. It is actually is motivating me slightly more to get things done too. EpicWin is available now for $2.99 in the app store
