It was Weasleby, by God! At last I had the miserable blighter precisely where I wanted him!
I like Camera Awesome for the separate lock/exposure points but can't say how it compares to Camera+, which apparently has the same feature.

My favorite "stunt" camera is 1-Bit Camera, which uses Atkinson Dithering to make everything look like it was digitized on a first-generation Macintosh.

By the way, is there any point in enabling HDR on the iPad, or was it disabled for a reason?

The best photo editing apps are Snapseed and Photoforge2. If you want an app to replace the default Camera app, I'd recommend KitCam over Camera+.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I got Snapseed, and Hueless. I'm liking the pics i'm getting with it:

Currently on sale for $0.99, sold. I'm a sucker for new camera apps, and the KitCam website looks pretty pro.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I'm looking for an app that puts something interesting on an ipad for me to look at in the corner of my eye while working. I'm thinking relaxing pictures, webcams (but not creepy ones of people, like ones of beaches or iceland or whatever), active maps, something like that, although any other suggestions are appreciated.

While you're working on the iPad, or working on something else? Because if it's the former I doubt such a thing exists short of jailbreak apps, and even then.

Working on something else on another computer/monitor. It's plugged in so batteries are not a problem.

I don't know of any apps specifically for you, but in the meantime you could just get a bunch of pictures you like, make an album in Photos.app, and use the native digital picture frame slideshow functionality and enjoy it that way until you find the app you're seeking.

No problem. Everyone forgets that every iPad comes stock with that option, which is why I mentioned it just in case.

I had purchased and tried every camera app mentioned here except KitCam, so I gave it a shot and this has now replaced what I previously considered the best stock-camera replacement app (ProCamera). It's really a fantastic app with tons of well-implemented features.

It's a shame Camera+ still gets recommended due to it's name recognition, as it's been bested by dozens of other apps at this point. There are free alternatives that are much better.

Is there an app like Spotify, but for music videos? Like paying a flat fee and you can watch whatever you search for.

Google Reader is dead and going away. Might as well cut your ties now.

I currently use Newsblur and their app is pretty good. It does cost money though. $12/year I think. There are plenty of other options though like Feedly.

Feedly is great, I love it. My only complaint is marking things read/unread is a PITA. It's not as bad as the desktop version where you can delete an item forever with no way to restore it of you aren't careful. Other than those minor concerns I highly recommend it for all your Google Reader replacement needs.

Reeder.

It works with Google Reader, and even when that dies, it won't matter because it syncs with Fever and Feedbin, plus it now works as a standalone reader.

They made this mistake before. It looks like it's the dev icon that they forgot to swap out again. Probably next update it'll go to the old one.

I'm looking for an app to stream mkv files to my iPhone. After researching I found Air Video. Anyone use it or recommend something better?

edit: I mean they did this with the FB Messenger app by mistake: http://www.imore.com/facebook-messenger-updated-new-naming-gesture-and-search-features

It's been out for like 30 minutes how many people have had it long enough to form an opinion and pan it?
