Puffin App- Play Flash Websites on the iPad
Picture is linked to the app on itunes
Have some great websites you wish you could use on the iPad but they require flash? The Puffin app ($2.99) solves that problem. The app is a web browser that you use just like safari, except when you visit a site that requires flash it works! Well worth the price if you ask me. The image above is from the National Geographic ebooks webmix (find it here) and it should not work on the iPad, but with the Puffin App it does! Another example is all the Starfall pages work with this great app. It even includes a special trackpad tool so the kids can click and drag if the site requires that (see below.)
I like photon as well. It is $4.99. It allows you to split the screens or use tabs and you can turn the flash component on or off depending on the website you are on to save data.
Thanks Cheri, have not tried that one but I will now. Always good to have options!
Thank you for bringing this app to our attention! I just tried it out and I am beyond thrilled. Can’t wait to use the RAZ Kids site with the iPads in my classroom! Thanks again–you consistently share fantastic resources.
Thanks for the kind words Kristin. Hope it works well for you!
Matt,
I use a similar app called Rover. I don’t know how it compares to Puffin, but Rover is free and I like free!

Camille, Rover is what I had been using but they only allow a few websites now. Since they made that change I switched to Puffin because all websites are available. Rover works great if the site you want is on their list. I agree, free is always better. Thanks for the comment.

Thank Matt. I am excited to use this. I hope to learn more about symbaloo and learn how to make my own boards. That’s my next project.
