Mass Effect 3 Datapad App is Free
Bioware simply loves to do all it can to promote one of my favorite games in the market. Mass Effect 3 is again doing something what many people may call unique. Usually while playing ME3, we tend to skip reading the datapads as they do not offer anything significant changes to the gameplay, but do reveal more about the storyline. Well this datapad is the link your you and your Mass Effect 3 characters.
But is this anything like Infinityward’s Call of Duty Elite App? Infinitward released their app shortly after Modern Warfare 3 was released, which allowed you to view and edit your classes straight from your phone. The ME3 app lets you receive real-time information on the Mass Effect 3 story line. Quoted from their app page via iTunes with unnecessary caps:

This app is mainly for information for your character in ME3. If you find it rather hesitating to check your mail in-game, we suggest giving the app a try.
