Who doesn’t like free? And who doesn’t like great iPad apps? When the two come together it’s good stuff. With that in mind, we’d like to share our Best Free iPad App of the Week here every weekend.
This week’s pick is Frequency. Frequency is described on its App Store page as ‘your personal video service’. It’s another excellent, social and highly customizable video app for the iPad. This is rapidly becoming a category where iPad users are spoiled for choice – and that’s a very good thing given how crummy the selection is on TV these days.
Frequency claims to offer ‘more video from more places than anywhere else on the internet’ – I imagine some rival apps might have something to say on that, but the range and amount of content in the app definitely looks impressive.
Here are some of the app’s key features:
- Follow any of your favorite online video channels
- Stay up to the minute on all the topics that are trending right now
- Get every video your friends post on Facebook and Twitter
- Quickly access anything you are following in your personalized TUNER.
- Get highlights from all your channels in My Feed
- Go full screen or use AirPlay to watch on your TV

Tomorrow is of course the climax of the 2011/12 NFL season, Super Bowl 46. If you’re feeling the need for some iPad apps to help you fully enjoy the occasion, then the iPad App Store has got you covered. There’s featured section this week for Super Bowl 46 and NFL apps for the iPad.
The Superb Bowl XLVI featured section has got a good range of Super Bowl and NFL related apps. Here’s just a few notable examples of what you’ll find:
SB XLVI Guide: Published by NFL Enterprises, this is the official guide for those lucky enough to be attending the game – with 3D maps of Indianapolis and the Lucas Oil Stadium, a guide to local restaurants and events, and more.
Super Bowl XLVI Commemorative App: Another one from NFL Enterprises and NFL Magazine, this one focused on the two teams. It offers a look at how the Giants and the Patriots got to the title game, content featuring all-star teams and Super Bowl history and, once the game is over tomorrow evening, video highlights, pictures, interviews and more recap coverage of the game.
Party Planning: There’s a whole sub-section devoted to helping you get you your Super Bowl food and drink plans together.
Games: And of course there’s a sub-section for NFL related games. It includes a recent favorite of mine, NFL Flick Kicker HD. I’m very surprised to see EA’s Madden NFL 12 is not in the group.
There are lots more apps in the Super Bowl XLVI section – check it out in the iPad App Store in the main Featured area. Let us know in the comments if you’ve got a particular app you’re planning to use during the big game tomorrow.

A set of recent Changewave surveys show that the iPad is still the clear leader when it comes to customer satisfaction. Their latest survey focuses quite a bit on the Kindle Fire and Fire owners’ intentions of buying on Amazon – but it includes some details on customer satisfaction levels found in recent surveys as well.
These show that no less than 74% of iPad owners are very satisfied with the device. Only 54% of Kindle Fire owners say they are very satisfied, and for owners of other tablet devices (a catch-all category for all the sad sack would-be rival tablets so far) the score is 49%.
I tried out a Kindle Fire for a few weeks back in November of last year, and based on that experience I’m really not surprised that its customer satisfaction levels are not that great, and well below those of the iPad. It’s hard to see how the Fire can maintain its sales momentum if these ratings stay at these sort of levels.
