Best looking apps for showing off the screen?

Kahnyl · Apr 10, 2010, 08:45 AM

I have an app called WeatherHD. It isn't that functional but it's pretty. I want to find more apps that just look like great demos. They don't even have to be that useful.

I'm looking at Koi Pond in 2x and wishing there was a native version. I need more apps like that. I already have a lot of functional ones.

The Elements looks amazing! Has great reviews and everyone talks about how it really shows off the iPad screen.

Agree. Elements is not only amazing looking, it a very well designed app for anyone to use and learn from. One of the first apps I open when showing someone the iPad.

For something more 'real world', try Wundermap. It's google mapped WeatherUnderground data all updated realtime anywhere you want. Be great for seeing the temperatures and radar weather around your neighborhood or elsewhere (and has webcams, also).

I've gotten lots of oohs and ahhs from the Marvel Comics app. It's free and comes with six free comics (though you have to download each one after you've installed the app).

Tap tap Radiation and The Guardian Eyewitness.

Yahoo Entertainment is a really nice UI and it is free.

Elements is the best app you can get to show off the screen.

Just curious. Why do you want to show off an iPad? Are you a salesmen?

I am so glad you said The Guardian Eyewitness... what a great app. Pics are unbelievable on the iPad screen. Thanks!

I have to agree with The Guardian Eyewitness iPad app.

This is going to sound lame, but I thought the WeatherBug app looked incredible on it today when I was at the Apple Store on Broadway in NYC.

EDIT: I just noticed the OP already said WeatherBug. Well I'm here to +1 that...haha
