Apps Updating with the New Retina Display

Add to the list:
Skitch
Evernote

I'm sure we'll see a LOT of this over the weekend. Hoping everyone's pretty quick with the retina updates for most apps. I'm expecting the games to be awhile (if at all for some games).

 

Sketchbook Pro updated today as well.

 

Tweetbot
Calcbot
Eye-Fi
Touchgrind BMX

 

Star Walk for iPad
Emerald Observatory for iPad

 

god i want my iPad now..

 

Is there some way to tell whether an app is retina-compatible in the App Store? Don't have a 4 or 4s, and this is my first iPad, so I never really bothered to check that sort of thing.

 

search "retina"

that should get u started

 

To find the ones I posted, currently I'm just checking on my iPad 2 and then looking at the build descriptions (eg is it an update for Retina or not).

I'm guessing it's going to be a heavy download weekend!

 

Ditto

 

Real racing 2 is updated with new retina graphics and 4x antialiasing, this is going to look terrific! And the size of the app is - couple MB lower

 

Im guessing for the immediate future most retina updates on 3d games will just be to render at that resolution, not updating textures and such. So that won't increase app sizes.

May be for the best anyway...

 

Well, Galaxy on fire 2 HD just updated - 653 MB to 1GB.

 

I wonder what exactly the Kindle app did for the retina display...considering built-in iOS text fonts automatically get upgraded in all apps.

 

They had used some weird method for the text that did not scale so they had to change it. Some reviewer had mentioned kindle not looking good.

edit: ah, being as simple as the font makes sense.

You can add Constant HD to that list. It's like holding a little window into space.
