Issue 3 of Swipe Magazine for iPad is out today. If you’re a big fan of iPad apps and games this magazine is aimed squarely at you. Here’s a slice of its App Store description:

This is the only dedicated magazine that focuses on the best App Store content, and which has been built from the ground up as a true interactive digital experience for iPad. (An iPhone version is coming soon.)
Every issue is packed with only the very best games, apps, and accessories as rated by the leading independent review sites of the iPhone Alliance – a genuine ‘who’s who’ of the iOS media so you know they are opinions you can trust.

A bit of disclosure early on here: I’m a regular contributor to Swipe Magazine and this site is a member of the Smartphone Alliance.

Features in Issue 3 include an iPhone 5 case roundup, TouchGen’s preview of the Modern Combat 4 game for iOS, an iPad mini review roundup featuring my review along with those from TouchMyApps and 148Apps, and reviews of lots of hot new titles like FIFA 13,Need for Speed Most Wanted, and Angry Birds Star Wars.

As usual, I contributed my thoughts in the Divided iPinion section – this month’s topic was ‘What did you make of Apple’s recent iPad mini / iPad 4th gen announcement?’.

I’m also happy to say that the iPad Basics tips section is becoming a regular feature, and is powered by my tips posts at iPad Insight.

The magazine’s design is striking and impressive, and it has gorgeous graphics as well as some top reviews and fun content. Check it out in the App Store if you have a chance.

Here’s an App Store link for Swipe Magazine; it’s a free app with subscription options as follows: 1 month: $1.99, 3 months: $4.99, and 6 months: $6.99.
