Happy Boxing Day, everyone! We hope that everyone got what they wanted for Christmas. For those who received the ultimate gift this year, the iPad mini, we suggest the following six free apps to download right now.
You Don't Know Jack
The
1990s irreverent trivia game is back on the iPad and unlike a previous version, this one is absolutely free.
You Don't Know Jack, which also works on the iPhone/iPod touch, offers one free game each day, plus users are able to purchase more games through in-app purchases. Based on the popular Facebook version that launched earlier this year, the game is universal.
Next Issue
Okay,
the Next Issue service isn't free -- at least not in the long term. However, the premium magazine service does provide new users with a free one-month membership. For those 30 glorious days, users have unlimited access to over 80 premium digital magazines including Entertainment Weekly, Wired, and Time.
To get started, visit the
Next Issue website, create a free account, and then download the free app.
History
The History Channel's awesome programming is finally available via an
iPad app. Featuring full-length episodes, previews of upcoming programming, and more, the app is a great way to relax with your new tablet.
ESPN SportsCenter Feed
The
ESPN SportsCenter Feed is the network's latest app and provides a way for sports fans to learn more about the teams they love the most. The universal app features news, scores, video, audio, and commentary so that you never miss a headline or a highlight.
Weezoo
The universal
weather app with a unique name is a great way to share live weather observations, add pictures, and discover real-time weather maps from around the world.
