I just picked up an iPad mini yesterday. What are some of the must have apps that you guys are running? Mostly looking at productivity, gaming, word processing and spreadsheet apps.
I have these on my android but I assume they're on the Apple market as well.
TeamViewer Let's you control your computer from your tablet
Strelok. Ballistic Calculator It's pretty awesome
As for productivity, I find "Evernote" to be very useful. It takes all of the notes I have on various files, e-mails, pads and snippets of paper and consolidates them all into one program, accessible from my PC, laptop, Android phone and iPad.
I love Evernote myself as well, I use it all the time. In fact I'm on my iPad right now using a Zagg folio case and bluetooth keyboard. Great productivity.
I really like WeekCalHD which is much better than the built-in calendar. I use Alarm Clock to wake my butt up in the morning too.
I've gotten to where I use WeatherBug more than Weather.com. Also, if you like listening to radio and/or recording for later listening--TuneIn Radio is pretty good. I use it all the time on my Iphone.
apps I use a lot:
redbox
pizzahut
various news apps
facebook
google maps! apple maps leave more than a little to be desired.
chances are your financial institution of choice has an app, makes banking convenient.
Gun related:
Legal Heat - firearm laws referance by state, handy if you travel.
Knights armament bullet flight - ballistics calculator.
Splashtop for Remote Desktop access, Quickoffice for MS Office integration. I also reccommend the IPSC Shot timer app and Practiscore, a USPSA scoring app.
I also use Tonido on both iPad nd iPhone. It gives me access to my terabyte of music/movies from anywhere.
Pandora, netflix, ESPN score center, Angry Birds (for sure if you have kids), Zombie Lane (my go to game on my iPhone), ebay, craig's list, Google Chrome and facebook.
Those are the apps I use on my phone from home, the others I could name for my phone would be worthless to you.
Maybe a flashlight if you have your iPad in your hand and the power went out.
I think Intellicast does the best job in the weather dept.
Don't forget The Chive for those times when you need a diversion.
CNBC Real Time if you have or follow the market
Find my Iphone that works with the Ipad. If it is ever lost or stolen.
Starwalk for night time astronomy and astrology
Flipboard for cool stuff
5-0 radio free to listen to fire dispatch
Gunlog - Logs firearms, shooting data, etc.
Wheretoshoot - Find places to shoot
flipboard - Multi browsing, magazine style. I recommend adding guns.com as a fav
Stumbleupon - stumble through the internet - using your favorite categories
Dropbox - Cloud file sharing/storage
Accordance - Bible software
2X Client - Remote desktop control
Commander Compass lite - GPS, inclinometer, compass
Planetary - Visually arrange your music collection into solar systems - Very Cool...
