iPhone/iPad apps?
I'm always interested in trying out new Apps on my iPhone. The best place to find out about new apps seems to be in the flight deck comparing apps with the guy next to me.
I was recently shown a cool app which decoded the Russian runway condition reports (among other things). I can't seem to find it on the app store. Does anyone know the apps name?
While you are at it, perhaps you could post the names of your favourite apps aviation and non-aviation related.
My current fav's are:
VLC - A great way to watch your AVI/MP4/MKV video files on your iPhone/iPad. iTunes is too restrictive and you have to convert all of your files to .m4v to watch or worse, you have to BUY/RENT movies...the horror!
Air Video - Stream video's from your desktop at home to your iPhone/iPad anywhere in the world via 3G or Wifi.
LogBookTen - App to record your flight times.
Hippo - Turns your iPhone into a mouse/keyboard. Great if you hook your laptop up to your TV to watch video's and are too lazy (me) to get up to start the next video or to reply to an email/instant message.
5-0 Radio - Listen to emergency services scanners, atc, and internet radio via 3G/WiFi.
Anyone else care to share their fav's?
I haven't pulled the trigger on an iPad yet but am looking forward to getting the next generation iPad whenever it comes out. Soon I hope?!

Downloaded my iPhone version in HKG from my iPhone. I then transferred it to the iPad via iTunes on my Mac but I had to re-download the maps via iPad via wireless.
Try to Google Air Nav Pro and see what they say.
Forgot how I found it on my iPhone originally but it was no problem.
Just checked again. Go to the apps icon and go to search. Just type in 'air nav' and press go.

A complete one is "Airports"
It gives airports data, atis, rwy size, taf/metar, notam, international volmets, tools including snotam decoder, rwy state decoder, wind comp, approach angle and you can add notes to your favorite airport like webcam links and so on.
These for 2.5 €
"PToolbox" is nice for deicing holdover time.
"jet Fueling" to compute your... petrol of course
job for dummies...

Another great Software for long night flights is Distant Sun, an Astronomy Software. Highly recommended

Angry Birds
Pinball HD
iSamJackson - gives most of his one liners - the R rated version costs $$$
AppBox Pro - good general utilities
