That is, if they like gifts that are free. Because the newly-on-iPad app from the folks at iFixit definitely is free, and isn’t even ad-supported. It’s leveraging their growing database of repair instructions for cameras, game consoles, mobile phones, and pretty much everything out there.

Of course, all this information is already available for free online, but this makes it a little more portable. So if the tool-wielding gadget-investigating member of your family has an iPad (or perhaps has one coming their way very soon), you might “give” them this app by bringing it to their attention at a more appropriate time of giving.

You can download the app here, or read more about it at the iFixit blog.
