Hi Hallie,
I have a few suggestions. Here are my favorite geography-related apps.
The Weather Channel
Hurricane or Hurricane HD (not free) See this article:
http://www.macworld.com/appguide/article.html?article=153874
ArcGIS (free)
BAO (Business Analyst Online)(free)
GeoMaster (not free)
I've recently been playing around with Geography Brainscape, but am not sold on it yet (free)
Have fun!
Amanda Henley

You must have a look at the PDF Maps app we released two weeks ago.
http://www.avenza.com/pdf-maps
http://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/avenza-pdf-maps/id388424049?mt=8#
This app is a geospatial PDF viewer for iPads and iPhones that allows
such geo-enabled PDF files to be used with the GPS and also provides for
data tagging, measuring and much more.
And best of all, it's free.
Let me know what you think please.
Regards
Ted

Just an FYI to everyone, before you spend $7.99 on that app please note
that in support of our new PDF Maps app as informed to y'all earlier, we
have converted all the USGS topo maps to geospatial PDF and will soon be
making them available free of charge through our also free app.

Probably not for your iPads, but this is a great illustration of the
sorts of information that can be mapped and "apped." One of the
developers is from our School of Library and Information Science.
"Iowa City UNESCO City of Literature"
_http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-iowa-city-unesco-city/id396516495?mt=8%3E_
or look in iTunes
This free app from the University of Iowa just got approved by Apple.
It's a beginning version of an app. to celebrate our USESCO City of
Literature Status, and UI will keep building on this, adding more and
more content.
It includes a mapping component, which eventually will be a fairly
complete literary map of Iowa City:
"Visitors can guide themselves around town in literary style. The app
offers maps of Iowa City, with embedded electronic 'brass plaques,'
indicating a variety of unique locations: where historic readings took
place, where authors wrote, and the legendary taverns where writers
gathered to argue and gossip."
Not sure if people can add their own annotations to the map (e.g, Dave's
Fox Head, where<everybody> drank...)

Hallie,
ESRI has a free ArcGIS app. Best thing to do is to search for maps or
gis at the itunes store. There are several that I haven't tried, both
free and paid.
