"5 Best iPad Apps of 2012\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1. Zeebox\n\n\nTelevision is becoming increasingly social, with fans and critics alike live-tweeting everything from the Grammys to the Olympics. We're carrying our second screens around with us anyway, so why not use them to our entertainment advantage? \nZeebox's goal is to make television more immersive than ever. Aside from its own social platform, zeebox users are discovering new content tailored to their interests and based on powerful web buzz. Available in the U.S., UK and Australia, the service links you with other likeminded viewers; invite them to viewing parties, then chat and interact via games and stats. Finally, click on a program's associated \"zeetag,\" which pulls up additional information and viewing options for the show you're watching.\nPrice: FREE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Paper\n\n\nPaper's iPad app is all about creation, meant to act as a version of your everyday notebook or sketch pad \u2014 only with tons of tools and artistic scope. The advantage is that Paper's interface doesn't have clunky settings to navigate; simply pick up one of the branded styli and begin to sketch, paint and write to your heart's content. And your artwork won't look too shabby on the iPad's brilliant retina display, either.\nPrice: FREE\nImage courtesy of aprildraws365\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. iPhoto\n\n\nApple has done a thorough job transporting most of its major iPhoto functionality to the iPad. The result is an accomplished photo editor with intuitive commands. Add white balance, filters, adjust contrast and repair red-eye. And with the touch of a button, your newly improved photos share immediately to social. \nPrice: $4.99\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. Chrome\n\n\nThough a branded Google product, the Chrome browser is employed by Apple users everywhere. That's why many were overjoyed when Chrome released on iOS earlier in 2012. Now people can sync their bookmarks, browsing history and passwords across multiple devices and platforms. One drawback: Apple will default to Safari when interfacing with apps and other content; therefore, users will have to manually invoke Chrome whenever they need it. \nPrice: FREE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5. The Walking Dead\n\n\nFollow Lee Everett as he navigates his way through throngs of the undead. The game is responsive as the player makes decisions that affect the lives and circumstances of those around him. The app features beautiful artwork from the original comic book. Five thrilling game episodes are available via in-app purchase.\nPrice: FREE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow many apps live on your iPad? Now, how many have you actually used in the past month?
