How this list is made

Every app here is a real iPhone or iPad app, listed on iPip and checked before it went live. The list is read from iPip when the page loads, ordered by votes from people on iPip, most first, and a tie goes to the app sent in first. Nobody can pay to be on it or to move up, Pips play no part, and paid Featured places never appear here. A list opens to search engines once it has 3 apps.

What to look for

An app made for both usually means one purchase for both devices, but not always. Check the App Store page, and look at the iPad screenshots too.
