Are there any apps for the iPhone that basically turn it into a trackpad for a mac?

Bought a Mac Mini and just using a standard keyboard and mouse, Im not buying the Apple ones but I do have an iPhone and I'd like to use the two finger swipe and other gestures.

Nevermind, Found 'TouchPad' which is exactly what I wanted.

I hear about this a lot but I hate the idea of being in the middle of controlling something, then receiving a phone call and losing the mouse

Has anyone got the Walking Dead game? Any good?

Yeah, I only wanted it for switching between desktops really, something I can't easily do with a regular mouse and keyboard combo. (Ctrl left and right works but its not the same

When the hell is Whatsapp going to be updated for the iP5!?

I think WhatsApp is long overdue a UI overhaul too. I saw some concepts somewhere that someone had made and they looked amazing (wasn't any of the WA devs).

Rayman Jungle Run - one of the best games on ios/android, I really hope more levels will be released, this game has so much potential.

Drawrace 2 is free right now, it's worth a go, quite good for a pick up and play racing game.

I'll have to give it a go, I quite liked the older Rayman games.

Is there any app to control my Transmission client? on Android I used Torrenttoise which allowed me to input the URL of my NAS (which had transmission on it) and control the client (monitor, add, stop torrents) since moving from android to apple I can't find a similar product.. anyone know any apps?

Cheers.

Tweetbot - I was looking for something like the old tweetie app and this is pretty close - well worth a look

I use this. It's by far the best twitter app I've tried.

Agreed. Tried a few before but since trying this I have always stuck with it. Best Twitter app out. Shame Twitter are doing their best to stop 3rd party dev

IntelliscreenX is out on the app store, was a jailbreak only app previously

Now that really surprises me! But a must have imo, it was my fav JB app on my 4 and 4S.

EDIT: Just read the reviews, seems it a bit of a scam and its not ISX at all... Just a clock!?

Its also not by Intelliborn. Don't buy it.

It would appear to be a bit of a scam:-

Every so often, an iOS developer attempts to make a quick buck by creating a simple app, naming it after a hugely popular jailbreak tweak, then releasing it in the App Store with the same logo and screenshots. That’s exactly what JB Solutions has done with IntelliScreenX, a $0.99 app that promises to be the ultimate notification center for your lock screen. In reality, it’s nothing more than a nasty alarm clock.
We’ve linked to the app below, but only so that you can see for yourself how shameless a copy it really is. Please do not buy it. While the App Store screenshots may look fancy, they’ve been lifted from the popular jailbreak tweak IntelliScreenX — they’re certainly not from this awful scam.
The App Store description promises to offer status bar notification icons for missed calls and texts, the ability to read and reply to emails from the lock screen, access to quick settings like brightness and airplane mode, and lots more. But again, these are not things that you’ll get with this app.
Strangely, the app has 27 five-star reviews, so JB Solutions obviously has a lot of friends. But don’t let them fool you; this isn’t worth your $0.99.
