The Week in iOS Apps: What a Crock

What a Crock!

If you are a lover of slow-cooked foods, we have the finest-ever iOS app ever created, just for you this week.

Crock-Pot Recipes

If your household is anything like mine, you'll probably agree that the $4 Crock-Pot Recipes app for iPhone and iPad--the first official Crock-Pot cooking app!--is the finest, most-anticipated offering in the App Store's history. And every month, you can make an in-app purchase of new recipe collections, meaning this is a cookbook that never goes stale.

Digisocial

Think of the free Digisocial as a talking Instagram. You take photos, add effects, and upload them to Facebook and Twitter--but you can add voice commentary to each of your photo uploads.

Fly Delta

Delta Airlines has brought its free Fly Delta app to the iPad. The "Glass Bottom Jet" feature lets you see photos of the area you're flying over, and you can alter travel arrangements, upgrade flights, and even download the in-flight magazine.

Inaugural 2013

The free Inaugural 2013 app for iPhone is built mainly for people who will be in Washington D.C. to attend President Obama's swearing-in ceremony on Monday--it lists a schedule of events and alerts to nearby happenings. It also includes a live feed of these events as they happen, so out-of-towners can keep up.

Merge Records

ReaddleDocs has become Documents by Readdle ... Dolphin Browser for iPad now lets users clip items directly to Evernote ... Rolling Stone is finally available on the iPad.
