41. TuneIn Radio

Think of the free TuneIn app as being able to turn your iPad into a radio capable of pulling in just about any station from just about anywhere in the world. The service boasts 70,000 live radio-station feeds and 2 million podcasts to choose from.

42. TV Guide

You only have so many hands, so instead of putting down your iPad to pull up your TV’s on-screen guide, you can use the free TV Guide app to see what’s on at the moment. Results can be filtered by HD and favourite channels, and you can watch episodes you’ve missed by launching into various streaming apps.

43. Tweetbot

There are plenty of free ways to interact with Twitter, but the $3 Tweetbot app is well worth the price of admission, with an eye-popping design, time-saving gestures that you can customize to perform various tricks and connections to several third-party Web services.
See also: Twitter, Hootsuite

44. Waze

The more you use Waze, the smarter it gets. Aside from helping you find your way around, this free GPS app collects data as you’re driving and lumps it with other drivers’ data to relay real-time traffic conditions. It’ll work best if your iPad has a cellular data connection.
See also: MotionX, CoPilot

45. Weather Channel

The free Weather Channel app makes good use of the iPad’s screen to display high-res weather backgrounds, bolstered by a slew of forecast data, maps, safety alerts and videos. You can check out the current conditions in your area along with hour-by-hour, five-day and 10-day forecasts.

46. WebMD

WebMD’s free iPad app takes the wealth of information available on the WebMD site and makes it tablet-friendly. Use the popular symptom checker, research various drugs and treatments or leverage your iPad’s location chip to find the pharmacy closest to you.

47. Wolfram Alpha

If there’s one thing mobile gadgets have been good for, it’s settling arguments. And the $3 Wolfram Alpha app is great at settling extremely complex arguments. It’s like a natural-language search engine mixed with an encyclopedia on steroids that can do high-level math.
See also: Google Search, Bing

48. Yelp

If you’re on vacation or new in town (heck, or even not-so-new in town) and you want to learn about what’s around you — shops, restaurants, dry cleaners, gas stations, bars, you name it — Yelp has you covered, complete with user reviews so you can separate the good from the bad.

49. Youtube

It’s the world’s largest and most popular video-sharing site, and you’re almost certainly going to want to watch some of its videos on your iPad. This free app pulls in your channel subscriptions, features voice search and can sling videos to your TV set using compatible hardware boxes.
See also: Dailymotion, Vimeo

50. Zen View

At the end of the day — or maybe even in the middle of the day — you sometimes need a peaceful moment. (Perhaps you’ve just clicked through 50 slides in a slideshow.) The free ZenView app serves up beautiful images that you can touch to create serene droplets of water. Go ahead — you’ve earned it!
