Mass Effect 3 Datapad now available for iOS

Mass Effect 3 has been out for a week now, and if you’re not one of those gamers freaking out about the game’s ending, you might be interested in refreshing yourself on that universe’s lore even while you’re not playing. EA has you covered with a new free app for iPhone and iPad.

The Mass Effect 3 datapad app has a number of features to appeal to hardcore fans of the series, including myriad codex entries from all three games, messages from characters within ME 3, and in-universe updates from the Alliance News Network.

You can also use the app to raise your readiness rating in Mass Effect 3. That might be a nice alternative to bringing that number up for gamers who don’t like the multiplayer or don’t want to invest time in the other, less free Mass Effect app.

If you’re interested in checking out the Mass Effect 3 datapad app, you can download it for free for iPhone or iPad.
