These iPad versions of applications are often more expensive than the iPhone and iPod Touch version.

''GTA Chinatown Wars'' was quietly released onto the App Store at midnight on January 18th, 2010. The game features the same missions available for the [[PlayStation Portable|PSP]] version. One difference is the lack of the [[Rockstar Games Social Club]] - the bonus [[Xin Shan|Xin]] missions, which were previously only available after completing the main story line, locating the two [[Lions of Fo]] and syncing the device to Social Club, are now available without the use of Social Club. [[Independence FM|A new radio station]] allows players to use a custom radio tracklist from their iTunes library. This version features the enhanced graphics of the PSP version released after the [[Nintendo DS|DS]] iteration, but re-introduces the touch screen functionality of the DS, replacing the quicktime events supplemented in the PSP port. | ''GTA Chinatown Wars'' was quietly released onto the App Store at midnight on January 18th, 2010.
