HuffPost Live

Price: Free

HuffPost Live by HuffingtonPost.com provides you with all the news you need in live-streaming video.

If you want to be able to view the news rather than just read about it, this app is your solution. You'll be able to watch all the live-streaming video on your iPad that features the top and most engaging stories. The stories are meant to spark conversations and commentary that happens in real-time as well. This is where the viewer gets involved by chatting in real-time so that discussions can be happening live on-air with hosts and guests.

The topics covered include everything from today's top news stories, to health and fitness related stories, to entertainment, and tech news.

You can view what is coming up in segments and reading up on them so you can take part in discussions. You can also can sync with Apple TV and AirPlay, pick which app views you want that focus on your personal topics of interest, and stay on top of today's top stories.

The latest update took a look at navigation of the app and has improved it and now gives you multi-tasking functionality with background audio. This allows you to do other things on your iPad while still catching all the riveting audio.

HuffPost Live was updated on Apr. 10, 2013 and currently has 11 customer ratings with an average rating of three and a half out of five stars.

I really liked that this app was more than just delivering the news it gave users a chance to discuss events and be part of the conversation.

For: iPad with iOS 5.0 or later
