12 Must Have Ipad Apps
Content
Every few days I am asked what are the b est apps for the iPad and what my iPad favorite apps are. In fact, last May, I w rote about My 12 Favorite iPad Apps where I called out 12 of the best apps for i Pad so I thought I'd revisit the list to see if my favorites have changed. As ex pected, my top apps for iPad have evolved over time. For example, only three of the twelve iPad apps have remained on my list for best apps for iPad including K indle, Zinio and Mail. #12 Starting at #12, iBooks makes the best iPad app list. The one and on ly reason iBooks made my iPad apps favorite list is because iBooks provides an e xcellent interface to store and read PDFs. Having used several PDF readers including the popular GoodReader for the iPad, I prefer the way iBooks stores the PDFs showing the PDFs cover in the lib rary view and the ability to sync via iTunes or attached to an email that you op en and send to the iBooks app and these features make iBooks one of the best app s on iPad. There are a few features in iBooks I don't use including the fact iBooks provides access to Apple's iBookstore which allows you to download and read the latest books and classics. Additionally you can make notes and highlight passag es in your eBook and use AirPrint to print the PDF with your notes included. #11 My next best app for iPad and latest obsession/time sink is Words fo r Friends HD. If you have not heard of Word for Friends, you must be the only on e! Words with Friends HD is a crossword game (think Scrabble) that is socially p layed against friends with a NewToy Inc account. While there is an iPhone app fo r Words with Friends, the larger screen of the iPad allows better vision across the entire board allowing me to smoke my foes! #10 The iPad app on my iPad favorite apps list is one of the best iPad a pps for kids available and my four year old daughter's favorite iPad app. DressU pBaby provides an intuitive and simple interface for my four year old daughter u sing cute characters and funky clothes and accessories. I randomly receive outfi ts emailed from my daughter using the camera function on one of her top apps for iPad. #9 Next on my list of iPad best apps is also one of my iPad productivity apps. Remoter is a VNC (Virtual Network Computing) client for the iPad that pro vides the ability to virtually control your desktop over the network from your i Pad. I've used the client to control both Windows and Mac machines, but VNC will also work with various UNIX flavors. This app has saved me too many times while I'm out but needed something from work making this one of my best iPad apps. #8 Whistle turns my iPad into a networked conference phone making this a pp high on my best apps for iPad. I use Whistle as a client for an Asterix PBX, a 3rd party SIP service) that allows me to make a call from the "office" anywher e that I have an Internet connection. Whistle provides integration with my Conta cts (which is synced with Google's cloud) and with the latest iOS loaded I can c ontinue Whistle calls in the background as I continue to use the iPad. Speakerph one works amazingly, but Whistle also supports the Apple Headphones allowing you to answer calls with the center button. This app enables business and is one of my top productivity apps for iPad providing a business tool to work virtually. #7 Kindle constantly makes everyone's best iPad apps list and is no exce ption for the Geeks favorite apps for iPad. The Kindle app provides an easy to u se interface and provides access to Amazon's Whispersync service to automaticall y sync your last page read, bookmarks, notes and highlights across your Kindle d

The Amazon Kindle store provides over 800K eBooks at the same price or b etter than other eBook retailers. #6 Next on my best y cloud-based task manager ple ranked Toodledo in the for iPhone - Jan 2011 and ductivity apps for iPad. apps for the iPad list, Toodledo provides access to m service and provides easy access to my to do list.

#5 Evernote is another cloud-based note service that is one of my top pr oductivity apps for iPad and one of the best apps for iPad. The Evernote iPad ap p provides my primary interface to take and view notes, including voice notes, w hile I'm not in my home office. Evernote then automatically syncs with the cloud -based service so you can view the notes on the iPad, one of the desktop Evernot e applications, or the web. The Evernote app was inducted into the Apple "App Ha ll of Fame", on the NY Times "Top 10 Must-Have Apps" list and has been the winne r of the Best Mobile App Award from TechCrunch, Mashable and the Webbys and, in my opinion, one of the best apps on iPad. #4 One of the included apps, the Calendar app, is one of my most used an d therefore one of my iPad favorite apps. The Calendar iPad App is laid out well and keeps my schedule straight by syncing with Google's cloud-based calendar se rvice. #3 If you subscribe to Netflix, you should have one of the best iPad app s available to access the service with the Netflix app. The app provides access to your Netflix account to instantly watch TV shows and movies streaming from Ne tflix as part of your Netflix unlimited membership. I use this app almost nightl y to watch TV shows and is one of the best apps on iPad. #2 Zinio is one of my favorite apps for iPad and using Zinio I receive a ll my magazine digitally instead in the mail as the Zinio iPad app provides thou sands of magazine titles with special interactive and graphical features synced directly to your iPad. I started using Zinio over 5 years ago, and those archive d magazines are available through the Zinio app! #1 Ever since of obtaining most of il App and therefore, let and thanks to the my quest to maintain getting the iPad, I've used the device as my primary means my work and all of my personal email using the included Ma Mail is my best iPad app. The interface is great for a tab portable nature of the device, the Mail App helps maintain a zero inbox.
