Pulse for iPad and iPhone is now free. The ultra-cool RSS reader previously cost a couple of quid but in the effort to grab more users the price has been slashed to our favourite cost: £0. Pulse lets you search for publications, hook up with Google Reader or share articles with other iPhone users with Bump. It’s a seriously pretty app, especially on the iPad and well worth grabbing to play with. Click the headline and hit the comments to let us know what you make of it. And make sure you check out our best iPad apps and best iPhone apps lists for other great downloads.

Dance Paradise chucks you right in at the deep end, so brace yourself, pull up your legwarmers and dive in to our Dance Paradise for Kinect review.
