CAMom Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Hi All~ My sweet husband surprised me with an iPad over the weekend. I've never had an iTouch or iPhone so I'm a total newbie to the world of the offered apps. What are your favorite apps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAMom Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 Thank you so much! I have Angry Birds on my Palm Pixi so dh already had that one downloaded onto my iPad when he gave it to me. My 5yo is almost better at it than I am.;) I have a free day tomorrow and I will be curled up cruising all of these suggestions on my new toy.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spy Car Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Ronette, if you need to read PDFs (a lot of Google Books and educational materials come in this format) the app called "Goodreader" is a "must have." iBooks now supports PDFs (and it is free) but for 99 cents Goodreader is way better. On that topic, WTM member "Stripe" has linked to the PDFs of the national textbooks put out by the Indian Government, I believe it is "NCERT". These files are at Note Monk and there is also an NCERT site, but the last time I downloaded there the files were "watermarked." Anyway, I find the math and English books very charming, and they look smashing on the iPad. The whole kit-and-caboodle is there through High School:Physics, Economics, etc. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
