Top Flash Players for iPad
The iPad is a must have gadget, it’s a handy little thingy that can be bring to anywhere you want. You can play games, surf the net, watch movies, listen to music, read eBooks, etc literally everything can be done on an iPad. But (Yea there’s a but) it does come with a drawback; If you want to do something that requires a flash player, it will not start and instead, it will show a blue cube in your screen.
It can be a bit disappointing to know that one of the best gadgets out in the market does not support Adobe Flash, a program that we are all used to. However, the Apple fanboys do not let the users down by creating alternatives to the flash players. Listed below are the top two flash player applications that you can use on your iPad:
Skyfire ($4.99 usd)
Skyfire is definitely one of the best flash player applications in the market. If you see a broken flash video icon in your screen, simply touch it with your finger to see if Skyfire can detect the video and if it does, it will pop out just like the one you see in a computer.
It also provides quick links in a click of a button to your favorite videos and other related content. The toolbar also has the regular buttons for a web browser such as the search button, bookmarks, tabs and viewing history. If you have got used to the wide computer screen it can also access the full version of a page, making it look wider than on a mobile screen.
Frash (Free)
Compared to Skyfire, Frash is still in developmental stage, but some users who are not satisfied with Skyfire purchase Frash instead. The only difference between the two, aside from the fact that Skyfire is a complete version, is that you will have to jailbreak your iPad in order to use it.
I have never jailbreak my iPad before but common sense applies here; you have to make sure that downloading it is safe. There are few people who claimed that using these flash players have caused their iPads to crash and break, so it is better to consult someone who has installed the product and ask for their experience with this app before installing it on your own iPad.
Just in case you are wondering, the iPad is designed to be a portable device, but flash player is intentionally left out of the device. Why? It is because they use up more of the battery life than any other applications. So if you want to preserve your battery life, it’s better to limit or better yet, don’t install flash apps on your iPad.
