Skyfire is possibly one of the best apps available for watching Flash videos on an iOS device. The iPad version received a pretty substantial update not  too long ago but the iPhone and iPod Touch versions have both remained largely unchanged until now. Skyfire 3.0 has just been released and it comes with a host of new features that were previously only available with the iPad version. The lower menu bar or Skybar, has been totally revamped to act and look more like the iPad version. The Skybar now disappears when you scroll on a webpage to give you more room to view the content on that page. A tiny tab at the bottom of the screen allows you to bring back the menu bar right away though. Skyfire’s main attract though has always been its ability to play Flash videos. The video data is now compressed up to 85% so streaming video should now be faster than ever. This version also brings with it, new social networking integration as well. Among the new social networking features is a new FaceBook QuickView feature that gives you quick access to your Facebook page directly on the lower Skybar menu. You can also access news feeds, friends, your inbox, events, and places as well. A dedicated “Like” button is also included on the new Skybar menu. The Twitter QuickView button keeps you up to date on the latest trending topics as well as keeping you up to date on your status and location without having to leave Skyfire. The Fireplace Feed Reader lets you filter feeds to only include links to your friends web pages on Facebook. Until the issues between Apple and Adobe are resolved with the differences regarding Flash on iOS devices, Skyfire will be the go-to app when you want to watch Flash videos on any iDevice. Hulu may still be blocking Skyfire from streaming free content to non-subscribing users, but with so much more video content available online now, Hulu support is hardly needed though. We must admit, we do enjoy using Skyfire to keep up to date with the latest episodes of our favorite TV shows. Have any of you tried the new version of Skyfire? If so, what do you think of it?
