Now on iPad, this app is a basic text editor, like Notepad. As soon as you open the app, you have a new blank page for your thoughts, which exports to almost anything, including Dropbox, Evernote, email, messages, clipboard, Markdown and Tweetbot. It syncs smoothly via Cloud between iPad and iPhone, so you can have all of your stuff across both devices, wherever you go.

NAB

Platform: Android, iOS (iPhone and iPad), Windows Phone

Price: Free

NAB has now developed an app for Windows Phone, adding to its Android and iPhone apps. It features an ATM locator, which uses Microsoft's Bing Maps, a live Twitter feed for NAB tweets and standard payment-transaction capabilities. The bank took advantage of Windows Phone's Live Tiles feature by allowing the currency-conversion part of the new app to be turned into a Live Tile.

Sydney Uni

Platform: Android, iOS (iPhone)

Price: Free

The new Sydney Uni app lets you plan routes between classes, access Blackboard, search for library books, see campus events, find staff, browse units of study and more.

Facebook

Platform: iOS (iPhone and iPad), Android

Price: Free

Facebook has finally managed to make its iOS app less terrible. The new update is faster and less error prone than the old app was, and it is much nicer to look at, too. Facebook is reportedly now making its staff use the Android app until they update it, so we'll probably see a better version of that app out soon.

Tiger Airways

Platform: iOS (iPhone and iPad), Android

Price: Free

Are you a cheap flight addict? Maybe the Tiger Airways app will be for you. You can book flights, see deals and store information on the flights you've bought.
