Coming from Android, I use Airdroid or Wifi File Explorer to transfer files to/from my computer when they are on the same wifi network. Can someone recommend a similar app for iOS that does the same?

edit: Ok just realised that iOS has no file system so what im looking for is non existent I did find apps like "photsync" and "phot transfer app" to be quite useful

not sure if its what your looking for but have a lopk for ifunbox, think the recent release has wi-fi capability, but not 100% sure.

I've been a fan of Kitcam for a while, some great tools built in.

Anyone got a good RSS app that supports Feedly?

I normally use Reeder but it's buggy in iOS7 and the iPad app doesn't support Feedly yet.

So just need a simple reader to tide me over until they update the app...

I use Newsify - by far best RSS app I've used

not sure if it supports Feedly - will check

What's the best betting app? Got William Hill today but wondered if there were any better ones.

Depends on who you bet with I guess but I like Bet365's in play features and have definitely made a few more last minute bets than I probably should have

Newsify seems perfect! Thanks a lot

Can anyone recommend any tv show tracking apps? Doesn't have to be anything fancy, just a clean interface and ability to see recent/upcoming shows from my favorites.

HDRPro - responsible for the best quality pictures I've taken on an iPhone (hold it still)

Stream2Me
Plex

in that order

Well this morning Tim Cook announced that Pages, Numbers, Keynote, iPhoto and iMovie for iOS are all FREE. Definitely worth grabbing.

EDIT: AAAAAAAAAAGGHHH. Posted too soon. The next sentence out of his mouth says only for new iOS devices. It's part of new device setup on iOS 7 I think. Whether resetting your existing pre-iOS 7 device to factory default and running through setup when you've upgraded to iOS 7 will present you with the special download screen, I don't know.

They aren't actually free yet are they? Just checked

I think they're only free if you buy a device running iOS 7 (out of the box). So, one of the new phones.

The slide from his presentation implies new devices, i.e. ones bought from now on.

I assume it will most likely work like it does on OS X with iLife and the latest OS update, with the device linked to the apps as free.

Or there may just be redeem codes in the box. Unlikely though, bound to be by serial number just like the Macs.

QuickSupport - remote control of your phone from TeamViewer

The app's here for iPhone but it's certainly been crippled from its intention. Check out the Android version to see it's full potential.
