HowStuffWorks is also making sure readers are as engaged as possible by making several quizzes available, as well as random new facts that are displayed every time the app is launched. Speaking of launching the app, every time you do it you’ll always see new content to ensure that you’ll never get bored.

Many publications, including Wired, The New York Times and even Playboy, have looked to the iPad as a means to expand its audience as print becomes less and less relevant. By developing interactive and very natural iPad apps, publishers can deliver higher-quality content than ever before and push it out to more users than ever for less money, since there aren’t printing costs involved.

The HowStuffWorks app is available free of charge from the iOS App Store. Much like the website itself, this app is a must-have for all those who like to call themselves "geeks".
