Ipad Apps?

[missmarcy]

My husband bought me an iPad... for Valentine's... and gave it to me yesterday. Yeah, that man can never contain surprises. In the 10 years we have been together I do not remember ever getting a big surprise on the "correct day" lmao...

I am not an Apple girl - never have been, but have been wanting an ipad for a long time (but am never ok with spending that much money on myself with 4 little girls running/crawling around. Haha). Sooo any suggestions on apps you can't live without? I saw the post for kids apps but I don't want kid stuff

Yeah hubby!my I can't live without apps are
Facebook
my fitness pal
Instagram
P365
Pinterest

As for games I go through fads where I will play a game constantly fir weeks then never play it again

I have to admit that my favorite apps are for very specific uses and probably not things that most people would care about too much.

I have an app that syncs with my desktop recipe application (LOVE IT!!!).
I use the DishTV app that works with the sling adapter on our Dish receiver.
I have an app that keeps track of the minutes/hours I spend on my little editing job.
Weight Watchers stuffs.

So . . . other apps that I use and love:
Evernote
Kindle
Paper by Fifty Three - if you like sketching and doodling

Lol. I'm not much help. How fun that you got an iPad though. Enjoy it! And, my husband is the same . . . I think I've only had one gift that was a surprise during our entire relationship, and that was for our 10th Anniversary. I usually end up opening my gifts straight from the Amazon box on the same day they arrive. Lol.

You will love it! I never go anywhere without mine! Make sure you get a good case for it, I have the BookBook for iPad and its awesome.

Most of my apps are photography business related (Preveal, Dropbox, Square, Golden Hour, PayPal, Square etc) but I do have quite a few other apps that I use constantly.

Facebook/Facebook Messenger
iBooks/Kindle
Pandora One
Netflix
Hulu Plus
Pinterest
Clickin' Moms
Shazam

Thanks ladies!
I am enjoying it so far Drawsomething is so much more fun on there than my phone haha. My husband bought a rinky-dink case with it and I told him to take it back. I was at Sam's today and bought this, it looks similar to the BookBook. It's not fancy, kinda man-ish but it's very functional and I love it

The kindle app - I don't have to have a kindle to use? It's just gonna let me use the iPad as a kindle or what? *confused* lol.

*heading off to check out a few of those apps*
Already have SSD bookmarked in my forums on there! Yay! haha.

Yep, you can use the Kindle app to use your iPad as a Kindle. That's what I do with my iPhone.

No Kindle needed to use the app! When you purchase an ebook through Amazon you can choose to send it directly to your Kindle for ipad app. I do have a Kindle but haven't used it even once since getting the iPad, I actually prefer reading on the iPad over the Kindle anyway!
