WiseOwlKnits Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 DH surprised me with an iPad on Wednesday! We have other Apple stuff, but i don't know anything about the iPad. What do I need - apps, covers, etc. What's your favorite thing about yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catz Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 (edited) How fun! I just got mine in June from DH as well. For educational apps we like rocket math, stack the states, and stack the countries. You can get a facebook app and skype app that are both handy. Never thought I'd read books on the IPad, but I LOVE it. Guilty pleasure here is angry birds. :D :bigear: Love to hear more ideas. edited to add a funny story - we happened to be looking at a map on youtube a couple days ago. I was showing my son people all over the world have watched his piano video. My just turned 7 year old was looking at the map of Asia and said "mom, has anybody watched it in Timor Leste?". I'm like "huh?". She's like "you know - Timor Leste. Right there" and points right at it and clicks it. Courtesy of stack the countries on the ipad - we've done no geography to speak of. Good stuff!

ChrissySC Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Get the App that looks at the stars and tells you the constellation. It is on my list to get dd for her Touch :D Get the knowledge quest apps too. You need Nook and Kindle readers. Anyway, yes get a cover, and yes get a really sturday case.

OK, I would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracy in Ky Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Yay! I just got one this week! I love the multitasking feature! Just double click your home button to bring up all the current apps that you have open. It makes moving between them very easy. I bought mine mainly to do researching and writing, so the multitasking function allows me to switch between websites where I am researching and my word processor where I am typing. I also bought an Apple wireless keyboard to go with it. Love, love love it! Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
