Did someone call me an owlhole?

Re comics, there's a comic version of James Joyce's "Ulysses" in the App Store. Definitely not for children or other small-minded folk. Comics are, indeed, a medium—

Sorry, Reeder is garbage...close but major fail!

They got all fancy with swiping up and down to go to the next article, or you have to use your left hand (uncomfortable), and if you try to scroll with your right thumb (as i do in safari) it almost always wants to swipe right, which goes back to the list.

Seemed like a good idea if they would get rid of the useless left/right swipe to go back and also just make the next article like iBook where you just tap the right side of the screen for next and the left for previous!!

I like the gray look, its a little easier on the eyes...but as with most RSS readers the navigation sucks...so once again I go back to Google Reader on safari, which also has crappy navigation, but is at least fast!

The problem with these "lists" is that they are pointless.... for example:

1. I don't read comics. I've graduated from the second grade.

2. I don't want to read a British newspaper as my news source; furthermore why would you include Reeder (which I use for all my news) and then suggest an ADDITIONAL newspaper app, from a website that has it's own RSS feed?

3. Air Display only works on Macs....from a poll here only about 50% or so of iPad users are also Mac users.

4. eTude is only for people that read sheet music.

The Guardian Eyewitness is an app that highlights just the spectacular news photography that they publish on their website. It's a awesome app that also includes pro tips on achieving some of the techniques used in the displayed shot.

And frankly, non-US news organizations do a far better job on reporting WORLD news than US sources. Just watch CNN or Fox News vs. BBC World News. Quite the contrast.

I don't believe this list - I think they made a lot of this up out of personal preference.

I'm using Marvel app

I'm using the Marvel comic app - it's simply amazing.
It is one of my favorite ones.

Next one I would like to add is NewsRack RSS Reader - in my opinion the best RSS Reader for iPad.

And - recently I discovered Swipe Soccer HD - I love it.

I agree with the Marvel app... simply great!

 

[Gabi]

Yeah, seems reasonable.

I heard that Apple had them tame it down or it would not have made their cut. Oh, to be the moral center of the universe like Jobs.

Meh, I use AppShopper.com or App Adivce (the iPad app), these lists are usually redundant with a bunch of stupid choices.

Do these list cydia/rock apps?

I have two of the ten (Beejive and Craigslist Pro) and there are probably 50 apps that I like better than either of them.
