Apps I use most frequently (several times each week):




● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

TextExpander Touch (a must-have if you will be doing a lot of typing. Allows you to create ‘snippets’ – short strings of letters – and will substitute a longer string in place of snippet. E.g., ‘nnyit’ becomes ‘New York Institute of Technology’ Not all apps support it, but many do.) GoodReader (many file types. Easy to annotate documents. Can connect to servers, e.g., DropBox, Sugarsync, Google Docs, WebDAV. Easy to retrieve, annotate, email/upload documents) (iAnnotate, Noterize also good, but not as good!) Simplenote (syncs to cloud and desktop, supports tags and versioning) Read It Later (similar to Instapaper; RIL downloads images as well as text) Dropbox Sugarsync OmniOutliner Documents To Go (Word full-functioned except track changes and commenting; Excel fullfunctioned; PowerPoint can edit text of slides only) OmniFocus Priority Matrix

Presentation apps:

Coach’s Eye (can record a video, slow it down and annotate it, and then share via email or YouTube. You can review in slow motion or at full speed or frame by frame, and you can mark up with lines, circles, and squares/rectangles while you narrate over the review. Can record the review or just show it live. Might be good for critiquing complex manipulations in medical labs. http://itunes.apple.com/app/id472006138 Educreations (lets you record your screen as you write on it, also records audio. Can incorporate images, resize and move them. Similar too - and more versatile than - Showme) 2Screens (if you are going to learn a presentation tool, learn this one. Most versatile in terms of file types and tools available. Includes browser, whiteboard. Smoother transitions between slides than Documents to Go.) 6SSlideShow (simple presentation tool) PodSpeed (lets you play back podcasts at variable speeds – 0.8x to 2.0x) ShowMe (lets you capture audio and writing – on top of image if desired – to create short screencasts) Documents To Go (PowerPoint can edit text of slides but not images. Tends to crash with large file sizes.) CloudOn - used in conjunction with Dropbox. Gives you fully functional MS Office - Word, Power Point, Excel. Files must be in Dropbox, and you must have access to the internet to access the files Side by Side (browser – also good for watching video and taking notes) SlideRocket viewer Prezi viewer join.me (join a virtual meeting) Slide by Slide (SlideShare viewer) Nonlinear (for presentations that jump around) Mobile Mouse (works with mac – turns iPad into full-featured remote)

Writing apps: ● Simplenote (syncs to cloud and other apps on desktop, supports tags and versioning. I take notes in a meeting, and when I get back to my office, the notes are on my laptop. Supports TextExpander.)

● ● ● ●

PlainText (syncs to DropBox. Uses folders rather than tags. Supports TextExpander.) Notes Plus (type, handwriting, draw, converts shapes to vector graphics, audio) SoundNote (also records audio, smaller audio file sizes) Penultimate (handwriting / drawing)

Document Sharing: ● SugarSync — 5GB free storage space. can sync to all your mobile devices. Files and folders can be synced from any location on your hard drive. Can share folders or individual files. Lets you set "read only" privileges and track when the files are accessed. Can store different files on different devices, can store locally on iPad. ● DropBox — 2 GB free storage space (if you register with your *.edu email address you get an extra 500 MB). can share folders. can sync to all your mobile devices. Files and folders must be placed in "DropBox" folder on hard drive in order to sync. “Star” the file to store it locally on iPad, otherwise all stored in cloud ● GoogleApps — supported by NYIT, no need to register. if you share a folder with someone at NYIT it will automatically pop up on their list of GoogleDocs. Files and folders are stored "in the cloud," not on your desktop. You can access your GoogleDocs via GoodReader or DocumentsToGo, but must have a wifi connection in order to download them. Information Capture: ● Springpad ● Evernote (pair Evernote notebook with Evernote Peek app to create flashcards) ● Evernote Peek Utilities ● Skype ● Plos Reader ● Genius Scan (take photo of document, store as pdf) ● JotNot Pro (take photo of document, store as pdf) ● Dragon Dictation ● NotePass (displays brief note in large type, white on black) ● Diigo (social bookmarking) ● Diigo browser ● Google (search, documents, apps, etc) ● Twitter ● Calculator ● TimerWorx ● FuzzTime ● Night Stand (alarm clock) ● AppMiner (lets you create watch list, notifies when apps go on sale) ● QuickPix (prefer to built-in camera) ● AccuWeather ● Scan (QR code reader) ● Bump the downsides: ● No good way to edit / create PPT files. ● Most PPT presentation tools create a pdf document and scroll through it. (exceptions: 2Screens, 6SSlideShow, perhaps one or two others)





large Power Point files crash most apps – this is an issue if using many images. (2Screens handles larger files than most of the other apps I’ve tried) Can get around this with services like SlideRocket that put PPTs online, but can take very long time to load each slide. If working with documents, need to plan ahead and download them if you will be away from wifi
