NPCER: Best Ipad Apps

[soontobeka]

I am finally going to bite the bullet and get an Ipad this weekend. Which apps are your favorites? I also need some kid friendly apps- 5 yr going to 1st grade appropriate.

I love my kindle app, Sirius, pandora, Pages for document editing, various realtor apps, and of course the PROBOARDS app! There are lots of good kid apps - math, dot-to-dot, coloring, "makers" (like cookie maker, cupcake maker, breakfast maker [which has bugs, for some reason, and my son loves to make me pancakes with ant sauce]), angry birds, where's my water, etc, etc.

Honestly, I big pink puffy heart my iPad! Yay for you!

I think the Flipboard app is amazing.

Lazoo is a pretty cool coloring app for kids, and I would probably be in a padded room somewhere if the PBS kids app didn't exist (that thing has saved my ass more than a couple times). Zoodles is apparently good, but MPT hasn't gotten in to it much, yet.

I most use my iPad for Netflix, pro boards, safari, and news apps like AP, CNN, NPR and Flipboard. I also like Evernote amd 2do a ton, because they sync between my phone, the iPad and the desktop web page effortlessly. Of course Pandora and Songza are used quite a bit as well.

I was just about to post this exact thread! We just got one and I have no idea where to start with apps.

Ok, the NPR app alone makes this a totally worthwhile purchase. Thanks for the rec, emmy.

Yes, Flipboard is awesome.
