What makes the Apple iPad rock is it’s apps.  Here is the list and links of some of the best (must have) apps for the iPad.  As well as some more resources from my fellow bloggers on the subject.

 

iWork for iPad

First.  You must download iWorks.  (btw, it can handle all your basic Microsoft Office files)  These Apps are really useful and sooo nice.

Word Processor : Pages for iPad $9.99

Pages has everything you need to create and share documents, including beautiful Apple-designed templates, easy-to-use formatting options, and advanced layout tools.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Presentation : Keynote for iPad $9.99

Keynote is the most powerful presentation app ever designed for a mobile device. It makes creating a world-class presentation, complete with animated charts and transitions, as simple as touching and tapping.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spreadsheet: Numbers for iPad $9.99

Numbers is the most innovative spreadsheet app ever designed for a mobile device. Tap the Multi-Touch display to create great-looking spreadsheets in minutes. With over 250 easy-to-use functions, an intelligent keyboard, flexible tables, and eye-catching charts, all the answers are at your fingertips.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other Great MUST HAVE Apps.

Cloud Storage: MobileMe iDisk for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad FREE

(This App does require the $99 annual Mobile Me subscription. Moblile Me does a lot more too. Here is the link for more info: Apple – MobileMe – Your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and PC.)

This allows you to drag anything on your computer onto your iDisk so that you can find it both on nearly any of your iDevices.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

iPhone Finder: Find My iPhone for iPad FREE

Simple, Lost your iPhone,  this app will use the GPS to locate it.  (Also, requires Mobile Me subscription)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fun Doodle App: Doodle Buddy for iPad FREE

This is just fun.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bring your notebook to your iPad: Penultimate for iPad $2.99

Very Cool.  The ability to draw and sketch while taking notes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Photo editing: Adobe Photoshop Express for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad FREE

I use this all the time.  With Photoshop Express, it’s easy to improve your photos. Choose from a variety of one-touch effects, or simply drag your finger across the screen to crop, rotate, or adjust color. Add artistic filters like Soft Focus or Sketch. And never fear: You can undo and redo changes until you get just the look you want—a copy of your original file is always saved.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bible: Bible for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad FREE

Free access to many modern English translations including the NIV, ESV, NLT, NKJV, AMP, NASB, CEV, NET, WEB, NCV, TNIV, HCSB, The Message, and more. Free access many foreign language Bibles.  Also offers a more limited selection of OFFLINE ACCESS/AIRPLANE MODE Bibles.

Best iPad Apps for College.

1. iHomework
This app is a great way to organize your assignments, schedule your study time and coordinate group projects.

2. Evernote
If you plan on using your iPad to take class notes, Evernote is a great tool for you. It syncs with an online account, so that notes are not only backed up, they’re also accessible from any computer. Plus, you can forward messages from your e-mail to the account.

3. Instapaper
Even campuses that claim to have Wi-Fi everywhere still have a few dead-zones. Use Instapaper to save web articles to read later offline. It’s also a great research tool, to help you save articles that you may wish to reference later.

4. Articles for iPad
You may not want to use Wikipedia as a reference in your bibliography, but when it comes to getting quick answers, it’s hard to beat. The Articles for iPad app has a lovely interface that helps you easily find Wikipedia articles.

5. eTextbooks

E-Textbooks save you the pain of lugging heavy books across campus. The eTextbook app from CourseSmart gives students access to 90 percent of common college textbooks. The iBooks app from Apple Inc. also has textbooks, but may be a better source for books for your lit class and reading for pleasure. Both apps are free, but users must purchase books.

6. Flash My Brain Flashcards
Flash My Brain lets you customize a study strategy for any subject. You can use Cyrillic and Asian scripts in addition to Latin. You can also access thousands of user-made flash cards online and share your creations.

7. Free Graphic Calculator
Before dropping money on a graphing calculator, find out if this free app has the functions you’ll need.

8. Edupath LSAT and Vocab Wordology (Graduate)
Vocab Wordology has over 15,000 multiple choice questions and vocabulary flash cards to help you study for the GRE and SAT. If you’re planning on taking the LSAT, check out Edupath LSAT iPad app, which tests you on nearly every LSAT question in print. Plus, it has a tutor feature to help you whenever you get stuck.
