The best programs for ipad pro. The most necessary programs that are worth installing on the iPad

iPad is one of Apple's major technological achievements. Tablet PC, worthy alternative which doesn't exist yet. What makes a device perfect is not only its excellent hardware (excellent IPS screen, battery that lasts 10 hours of video viewing, powerful dual-core processor), but also wonderful software. Very often on forums and social networks you can come across the question “I bought an iPad, what should I install?”. Below you will find useful iPad apps that we recommend. The list is not complete, add your own suggestions.

Reading news

My main method using iPad- this is reading the news. There are a little more than enough RSS clients (both traditional and not so traditional) in the Eppstor. And they all look alike. Here's what I chose:

In my opinion, this is the best RSS reader right now. It seamlessly integrates with Google Reader, synchronizes read and unread news, supports almost all the functionality of Google Reader (you can share articles, mark them with a star, etc., but does not allow you to unsubscribe from the RSS feed from your iPad), allows you to save long and especially valuable texts in Instapaper for delayed reading. It is possible to send a link to Delicious, email and other services. Reeder is clear proof that Google is not doing well with user interfaces: when you read news in Reeder, you read it 2-3 times more notes, compared to reading via a web interface.

. Flipboard is a colorful magazine for iPad. You indicate your Twitter and Facebook data, the program “sucks up” all the links that your friends/friends/followers publish and forms a damn attractive magazine from these links. IN Lately Flipboard has evolved a lot. Publisher “channels” have appeared here: the best newspapers in the world provide content in an already formatted form. Appeared Google support Reader: You can now read RSS in magazine form. [Review | Download for free)]

Zite. The ambitious startup has set itself a difficult task: to offer the reader only those articles that are personally interesting to him. Zite closely tracks what you read and like. A lot of parameters are taken into account: the topics you prefer, your activity on social networks. Taking these “signals” into account, Zite “lays out” the magazine for you. If you are a reader of Gizmodo, Engadger, Lifehacker, then you have probably noticed that every day blogs write about the same thing. As a result, you have to read one news item several times. Zite actually solved this problem. Minus of Zite - it does not support Russian. [Review | Download for free)]

Everyone faces the problem of lack of time. It happens that in the middle of the working day they send a link to an interesting but long article that you cannot read now. In this case, it is better to add it to the ReadItLater service (you can do this in one click). ReadItLater is not the only such service. Many people use Instapaper. The following points can be attributed in favor of ReadItLater: the presence of paid version(Instapaper developer removed free version from App Store), lower cost of the paid version ($2.99 ​​versus $4.99), the ability to save multi-page articles (Instapaper does not do this for fundamental reasons), brighter prospects (ReadItLater received funding and is forming a stellar team of programmers). [ | ($2.99)]

The second most popular pattern of using an iPad is communicating with friends. Everything here is quite simple and predictable:

Official Facebook apps for iPad still not available. So the choice comes down to two things. Or use a browser, or one of the unofficial clients. Friendly is one of the most successful applications for active Facebook users. The program offers basic capabilities: reading news feed, changing status, uploading photos from iPad to social network, chat. Friendly is available in two versions - paid ($0.99) and free. The latter displays advertising. [ | ]

Twitter. Twitter is a very popular microblogging service and social network. There are many clients created to work with it. The official application flaunts an interesting interface; third-party developments offer other features. For example, Echofon Pro ($4.99) automatically syncs unread messages between various devices(iPad, iPhone, Mac - you'll never read the same tweet twice).

IMO.im. Exchange clients instant messages a lot. I use different ones, I don’t have any strong preferences. Lately I’ve been launching IMO.im more often. This messenger supports not only MSN, Jabber/GoogleTalk, Skype, Facebook, ICQ, but even the exotic Steam (communication with gamers) and the popular VKontakte in Russia. [Download for free)]

Skype- official client for the Internet telephony service of the same name. Quite limited in possibilities, but we are happy with this. You can now make calls and chat from your iPad. [Review | Download for free)]

Classmates. Eat official iPad app and Odnoklassniki. However, it is far from ideal. We can only hope that the developers will develop the program. [Download for free)]

Reading books and magazines

I mainly use the standard Apple e-reader to read books. I both download books (already immediately in epub) and buy them. Book Apple store iBookstore does not work in Russia yet, so I use American accounts(I top up my account with Gift cards). [Download for free)]

Unfortunately, the library iBooks Store weaker, Amazon. Sometimes I buy books there too. The coolest thing is that the book is on your iPad within a minute after purchase. This e-books compare favorably with paper ones (hello, Russian Post!). [Download for free)]

Zinio. Client to the service of the same name. Allows you to purchase/subscribe to glossy magazines. I haven’t used it lately, but I included it in the selection - the service is useful. [Download for free)]

Education

The iPad is great for self-education. I use the following applications:

TED. TED (which stands for Technology Entertainment and Design) is the most prominent example of education, a form of entertainment that seeks to educate and educate. Among the speakers at the TED conference are Nobel laureates, famous politicians, and stars. They talk about common problems, offer their solutions. Many people pay thousands of dollars to listen to TED lectures. However, over time, the videos are posted online for free. The official TED for iPad app offers access to a huge archive. You can even download the video in advance so you can watch it on the go, for example. It's also worth paying attention to the TED+SUB app. This program allows you to watch videos with subtitles.

Star Walk And Solar Walk. The Novosibirsk company VITO Technology is developing electronic “space encyclopedias”. The Star Walk program is a digital planetarium. This is the best astronomy reference book available for iPad. Solar Walk is dedicated to the planets of the solar system. Both programs are executed on high level. The Novosibirsk residents even won the Apple Design Award for their developments. [Star Walk ($4.99) | Solar Walk ($2.99)]

MoMA AB EX NY. I'm far from art (I'm not at all proud of it), but I downloaded the app. I wanted to see what a program produced by one of the leading museums in the world looks like. MoMA offers access to a small portion of its collection of works by abstract expressionist artists. Photographs of the paintings are given in high resolution. You can “zoom in” by looking at the details. Many paintings are provided with audio commentary by the museum curator. There are several videos that explain the basics of art, drawing techniques, and explain basic terms. [Download for free)]

As a child, we don’t like chemistry, preferring physics. However, if I had such an application then, everything could have turned out differently. The Elements is a reimagined periodic table of the elements. Interactive tutorial O chemical elements. Colorful illustrations and a huge amount of valuable information fade somewhat against the background of the fact that there is no Russian language. [Download ($13.99]

You can read Wikipedia, of course, without any applications. But from an aesthetic point of view, Wikipedia articles do not look very good. All these endless footnotes are useful to researchers. And when you just want to read articles from the encyclopedia, they are of little use. Articles turns Wiki into an encyclopedia that's fun to read. The application once won the Apple Design Award, and deservedly so. [Download ($4.99)]

Skeleton System Pro II. The company 3D4Medical produces applications that help better understand the human structure. This company's programs use 3D visualization. As a result, you can examine every organ, every vertebra. [Download ($19.99)]

Job

A simple application for writing texts. The main feature is synchronizing documents between devices using the Dropbox service. Support for the Russian language and its free nature make the program even more attractive. [Download for free)]

iWork. For those who need more text editing capabilities and who need document design tools, it is worth paying attention to the iWork application suite. Numbers, Keynote, and Pages are available on the App Store for $10 per app. [Numbers | Pages | Keynote ]

For iPad/Wunderlist. We cannot ignore the topic of task managers. There are many of them for iPad. The most advanced, in my opinion, is Omnifocus. The main advantage of the application is the Forecast mode, which shows your employment for the coming week. Parting with $40 for a task manager is not easy. As free alternative We can recommend Wunderlist, which has versions for iPad, iPhone, OS X, Windows and Android (note the presence of cloud synchronization). [ ($39.99) | Wunderlist (free)]

Evernote has a pretty good iPad version. You can make text and audio notes, all data is synchronized between different devices. [Download for free)]

Watch video

OPlayer HD. When watching videos on an iPad, things are not entirely simple. If you want to watch a video that is not encoded in H.264, then the files will have to be re-encoded. But there is a second option - use a player on the iPad that understands different file formats and codecs. There are really a lot of players in the App Store that promise to play absolutely everything. Most of them either have a monstrous interface (a real disaster) or lack some important functionality. As a result, if you need to upload a video file with one track and no subtitles to your iPad, then you should pay attention to Azul ($1.99). You won't waste time recoding. If it's important to you to be able to switch between tracks and subtitles on the fly, then OPlayer HD ($4.99) is worth purchasing.

Air Video. If your computer (it doesn’t matter, Mac or PC) is constantly running, then you can stream video from it directly to your iPad. This is convenient because you don’t need to convert the video. Let's say you can watch the new episode of The Big Bang Theory over breakfast. You can organize such a broadcast using Air Video. The program is installed on your computer and iPad. There is a free version. Very convenient application. [Air Video FREE | Air Video]

IMDb for iPad. I love cinema, I rate the films I watch on IMDb, there is also a watchlist - a list of films that I would like to watch. The IMDb app is one of the reasons to love the service. Simple, convenient, functional, free. [

Whether you've had an iPad for a long time or you've lived with it for several years, it's always nice to get to know new applications. No list of apps can be comprehensive enough, but today we'll give you short review hundred best programs, and we hope that it will satisfy the appetites of many.

We will look at the familiar old applications that were and remain the best of their kind, and also get acquainted with the new participants in our race in functionality.

Let's begin!

This is a simple and easy solution for those who need to manage iTunes from their tablet and also work with Apple TV.

Jamie's Recipes
Jamie's Recipes is one of best examples programs with recipes. The photos of the dishes just make your mouth water, and the videos actually make your heart stop! The program is free, but new recipes are purchased separately.

Kindle
We have already talked about this program, like many on our list. This is the best (and only) way to read books through the Amazon Bookstore. I'll be honest - I prefer the iBooks service, but since books themselves on the iPad are not a common occurrence, the program is worth checking out.

Calcbot
Calcbot is an excellent calculator designed for any calculation. A powerful platform hidden behind a simple and attractive interface.

NFL '11
This program will be close to sports fans, but I just had to include it in the list, because it is one of best simulation games football.

MLB At Bat
If NFL ’11 is the successor to MLB At Bat, then MLB At Bat itself is the ideal in the mobile football genre. 10 out of 10, you know. A great example showing the power of the iPad as a gaming platform.

Firetask is perfect solution all your organizational problems. An excellent organizer, a review of which has already appeared in our articles. Synchronization. event planning, calendar - everything is here.

A legendary game that many consider the standard of quality on mobile platforms. Incredible graphics bring out the full potential of the tablet, and the gameplay never gets old. Again, a review of it is somewhere nearby on our website.

8mm HD
And we also have a review of this program. 8mm HD gives you the unique opportunity to turn your videos into beautiful retro creations. Stylistics will make them something they can never be again. If you love retro and black and white style, then this utility is created for you.

Photogene
Another familiar program. One of the most powerful utilities for editing photos on a tablet. Lots of functions, you can do whatever you want. The interface is intuitive, even a child will understand the principles of operation. WITH latest update the program became incredibly popular because another bunch of functions were added. Which? But I won’t tell you - buy it and find out for yourself!

Omnifocus
Previously featured on our site, Omnifocus clearly deserves a place on this list. A powerful manager of your affairs and endeavors. An excellent organizer that will become yours right hand in business. But I advise you to treat it with caution - there are really a LOT of functions here that may not be useful to you. Before you buy it, think carefully about whether you need it.

Real Racing 2 HD
The best racing game for iPad. Real Racing 2 HD offers us incredible graphics and addictive gameplay. The controls are simple, the cars are amazing!

Battleheart
Battleheart packs strategy and role-playing elements into one small casual game! Each battle here lasts a few minutes, but they become more and more difficult as you progress, so you will be interested in playing it even after many weeks!

There are many ways to access Wikipedia on a tablet, but Articles is my favorite. This is a nice program that makes viewing educational articles much easier and more fun!

X-Plane
An amazing game for fans of airplane simulators. This is the best game of its kind on our tablet, which will keep you busy for a very long time. And in terms of price/quality ratio, it also wins first place.

Instapaper is a fantastic program that will help you store documents for later use. Minimalistic interface and intriguing social functions take this application to a new dimension.
