Are there any good daf yomi apps? I saw the video for the artscroll app but it doesn't seem to be out yet. Any recommendations?

The Artscroll app is available here: itunes.apple.com/us/app/artscroll-digital-library/… – Dave Aug 3 '12 at 18:42
Someone please tell Artscroll that there are a few of us with Android devices. – Seth J Aug 3 '12 at 19:50
@SethJ I read an article that suggested that they planned to roll out the app to iPhone and Android in the near future. – yoel Aug 3 '12 at 20:10
I heard the new Koren English Talmud is/did come out with an app starting this cycle. – Double AA♦ Aug 3 '12 at 20:12
The siyum's program guide "HaSiyum" had an ad for every different system with an analysis (on their own terms, though) of it. – MosheY Aug 5 '12 at 14:15

I've been using Crowded Road's iTalmud. It had some major issues with download management and audio playback, but a recent update reduced these to minor issues, at least for me.

Could you please provide a link? – Adam Mosheh Aug 3 '12 at 15:45
@AdamMosheh done – yoel Aug 3 '12 at 16:04
is it worth the $25? – Seth J Aug 27 '12 at 21:44
@SethJ all things considered I think that's a fair price, but of course it feels very expensive in the scope of iOS apps. I think you would get a lot more mileage out of it if you have an iPad for it too. It's a little cramped on the iPhone. – yoel Aug 28 '12 at 2:01
