Multitasking within the app is easy and fun on the iPad's bigger screen, and even more interactive while watching MythBusters on TV from your couch!
The iPad’s innovative navigation capabilities showcase new app features in a dynamic, physics based adventure. Like using your finger to flick a MythBusters photo or video to the Facebook icon on the screen and instantly share with friends, you'll have just as much fun navigating through this one-of-a-kind interface. Watch the explosions, play the games, read the news, chat with fans, learn about cool stuff, and laugh out loud!

Poor

A very poorly designed and confusing app in which junk piles on top of other junk with no way to close the previous junk. Content consists of NOTHING you cannot get online for free and they charge you for the INconvenience of having to wrangle it out of this horrible app that looks like a 6 year old designed. I love Mythbusters but here's a myth for you. The myth is that this app is worth a cent. Please don't waste your monney, it's pure junk!
Poor interface spoils the media access.

If you want people to watch your content, don't believe you are cooler by obscuring access to it with a clumsy interface. That is totally uncool.. Take your designers, push them aside and get a graduate with several years of HCI and visits to CHI conferences under their belt.
Exits unexpectedly

Love the program, had to check out the app. Too bad it keeps exiting unexpectedly.
Meh

This really is a crummy app on the iPad. Maybe on the iPhone it's better, but the navigation GUI is circa 1994, and the content would hardly be worth it even with better nav. I gave it a month or so to see if I was just cranky when I first tried it, but... nope. It's still crummy. Mythbusters app... Busted.
Great content, horrible UI

Great content but horrible interface. No video controls, easy slide shows etc. does not resize and position well when rotating ipad. Bad app, really not worth the money
