No more beefing up your Galactic Readiness on the go, no more convenient codex cruising, and no more text messages from Miranda. That's because EA removed the Mass Effect 3 'Datapad' this week, relieving the iPad companion app after 15 months of active service.

The app's removal is no great shock given the existence of the N7 HQ portal, which was released late last year, works on mobiles now, and fits a similar bill. Still, we thought you should know the news, Commander.
