For those of you who don’t know Skyfire allows you to view Flash content on your Apple device, therefore it has sold very well, so much so the app was downloaded 300,000 times in its first weekend and is said to be the top-grossing app in the available at the Apple App Store.

Let’s start with Skyfire 3.3.0 for iPhone, this new release is said to have zapped some bugs and also prepared the app for a more substantial update in the future. Once you have this version of the app installed you should notice that Skyfire now supports more Google Maps and push to talk features, also a Twitter pop up issue has been fixed and we are told that the Stuck in tab mode bug has been rectified.

Skyfire 2.5.0 for iPad includes all of the aforementioned changes, however you get one extra feature. Once installed and run the App on your iPad videos will launch in fullscreen mode by default – are you happy with this change?

In the release notes it clearly states that a more feature rich update is coming to both apps soon, therefore while you guys are here we thought we would ask you what you would like to see changed and what new features you would like to see. Feel free to get inventive in the comments section below.

You can grab Skyfire 3.3.0 for iPhone here and Skyfire 2.5.0 for iPad here. The app for iPhone costs $2.99, whilst the app for iPad costs $4.99 – you can find out more about these apps over at Skyfire.com.

What is VideoQ? Well simply put VideoQ is a new app which allows you to watch Flash videos which you come across whilst using Safari or any other browser, simply email the web link to your unique VideoQ email address or paste a Web link into the app and you will be able to watch it in VideoQ. This means you could queue up multiple videos and watch them at once, neat eh?

The app also has a social element, this allows you to discover the day’s hottest content, check out video channels and much more. If you have a particular interest such as technology or gaming etc you can customize video channels to see exactly what you want to see. Not only does VideoQ allow you to see content which you usually wouldn’t be able to see on your iOS device, but it also saves roughly 75% in terms of bandwidth – this means if you have a restrictive data plan you can watch four times the amount of video content as others may be able to.

As previously mentioned Skyfire VideoQ runs on both iPhone and iPad, we looked a little deeper and iPod Touch users should have no problems running the app either. The app costs $3.99 and requires iOS 4.0 or later, you can find out more details regarding requirements and perhaps buy the app here.

Below we have embedded a video which gives you a quick overview of the app’s functionality, it is an ideal solution if you are not a fan the Skyfire web browser but still want to see Flash content. So far reviews of the app haven’t been great, it currently has a 3 star rating based on 41 ratings and we are a little concerned by the compaints which suggest the app isn’t all that easy to use, also people are suggesting that content doesn’t always show up in VideoQ.

Have you used Skyfire videoQ? If so, did you experience any problems? Is the app worth $3.99? Let us know in the comments section below.

Skyfire is by no means new, in fact the only reason we are giving it a mention today is that Skyfire Labs will let you buy the app for just $2.99 for a limited time, usually it costs $4.99 so if you have been considering buying this app today is a good day to do it. The app uses its patent pending technology to compress and convert Flash video almost seamlessly to give iPad users the content they want to see quickly and easily.

You can find out more over at iTunes (where you can also buy the app), we do not know when this offer will end and we highly recommend this app to anyone who has ever want to view Flash videos on their iPad, please note that Flash games and apps are not supported.

Skyfire has won plenty of awards and accolades and is currently the top utility app in the US AppStore, it is not a one trick pony either as it features a great user interface and all of the features which we would expect from a modern-day mobile web browser.

Did you buy Skyfire? If so, are you impressed so far?
