Official Facebook for iPad app is ‘hidden’ inside iPhone app
Yup, you read that right. We’ve been waiting since the launch of the first iPad for an official Facebook app but it appears that there’s been one sitting right under our noses in hidden code right within the iPhone app. The secret app was discovered by TechCrunch and looks fantastic in the screenshots.
There are some simple instructions right here to enable the iPad app without jailbreaking, but just like almost everybody in the comments I have been unable to get it to work. It’s very likely that Facebook are now blocking access via the (modified) app but hopefully Zuckerburg & Co will shortly realise that the cat’s out of the bag and just give everybody what they want. If not… you could always start a Facebook group!…

Kiwi app quick look: Gaptionary
Now here’s a blast from the past: an app version of a good old classic ‘party’ game. High technology meets retro low-tech fun. You’ll have played this a dozen times already (perhaps at school). You know: the game where you’re asked to choose a noun or a name or a verb and your choices are inserted into a story. It’s right up there with with taking it in turns to draw sections of a picture on a piece of folded paper, only to reveal a hideous man-robot-fish-thing at the end of it all. But is it as fun as it was back then? …

Kiwi App Review & Give Away: AnimalBlocks for iPad
We get asked to review a lot of apps here at iPhonewzealand and I have to say that I have had some great fun with my daughter showing her the latest app from kiwi devs Flightless whilst I’ve been reviewing it.

In fact this is the first app I have reviewed where I have used her to play with it and it’s been great fun watching her reaction. As I say she can’t spell yet but with a little help from her Dad she was soon clapping when the app sparkled telling her we had the letter in the right place.
