Discworld app

[Dotsie]

You don't need a computer to download apps on an iPad, you just need an iPad and wifi. I've never connected my iPad to my computer.

I don't use wi-fi, I don't like the idea of bringing hundreds of pounds worth of equipment into town just to use the free wi-fi there, again there should be no reason I can't download using the... uh... not broadband... i'm on a contract with three-mobile...... lets just say broadband for now.

The #discworldapp is now live. @TransworldBooks have created The Ankh-Morpork Map for iPad http://bit.ly/buydiscworldapp

Received this in an email from Transworld, film clip of the app.

It's £9.99!!!

Think I'll pass - I've got maps, and there doesn't seem to be anything new.

If the promotional video is accurate, it shows people moving around on the map. I suppose it might even be possible that there would be a professional mugging somewhere, but as I don't do apps, I'll never know.

It's cute but I can't say I want it.

[Bouncy Castle]

I thought apps were supposed to be helpful in some way.

What exactly does this one do?

[Who's Wee Dug]

Lets you walk around and find characters from the books I think, someone with an Ipad may tell us when they have played it.

Sort of Google Map of A-M.

[Bouncy Castle]

Erm, why would anybody want it?

Erm, why would anybody want it?

Why would anyone want anything?

[Who's Wee Dug]

Erm, why would anybody want it?

I'm sure Mad is more qualified to answer that, than anyone else on here.

It's not for all iPads though... only for those capable of running iOS6 - which by chance mine is not! I believe the phrase rhymes with "Clucking Bell"

[Bouncy Castle]

Oh that's even worse.
