idlePad

This app allows you to use your iPad to its fullest. When not using it, why let it sleep at your desk or coffee table. Use this app to have it display current weather and, optionally, news headlines and a slideshow of your favourite photos. Lots of people have an older iPad collecting dust somewhere. Don't let it go to waste - use it. The app is easy to use and configure. You can set up your own slideshow, enter your own RSS feeds and set up up to five shortcut buttons to your favourite apps or websites. The app comes preloaded with a number of RSS feeds. When an interesting headline flashes buy, tap it to display the full story. Others might and the story interesting? You can instantly share it. You can view the previous or next headline by sliding right or left. Not satisfied with the build-in feeds? You can delete them, add your own and re-arrange them as you wish. The same applies to the slideshow. You can customise it to your own preferences, even turn it off. Note: This app is intended to run when your iPad is plugged in. No point in needing to use your device and its battery is flat.
