What are the programs on ipad. Apps you need to your new iPad

The first apple tablet this year was seven years old. The most important milestone in the history of the company, he changed our view of the portable computers, and Stephen Jobs promised the ambulance of the netbooks and the new Terrible competitor of laptops. The revolution took place, but no one was intended to take positions. What is already there, even the audience did not know how to respond to a "big iPhone", the meaning of which long time remained not impaired. Now, in 2017, the tablets lose relevance, more and more inferior to smartphones whose screens are becoming more and more.

And what's the iPad, which caused the tablet boom? It was the first pancake. He was a big, heavy device, which in a year changed a much more portable iPad 2. Already in 2011 it was announced to stop the production of the devices of the first generation. Not having time to really declare himself, the first model was written off in the pit.

In general, Apple did not show much respect for their revolutionary device. While the iPad 2 became the most important device that was supported for several years, the original not only was canceled a year later, but did not support systemically. Going to the iPhone OS 3.2, it could be updated to iOS 5.1.1. And then - everything. Anyone familiar with Apple apple understands that the lack of updates of the Apple device operating system leads to its stagnation and death. So happened here. But let's talk in more detail about what happened to the legendary device.

iPad now

I used the device for a long time, almost since its appearance. There is no doubt that at that time competitors practically did not exist. Android did not seem particularly attractive, and no one could beat the corporate design and metal case. Well, the screen - he looked brightly and clearly, and everything else in comparison seems to be Merklo.

A lot of useful applications have been built into the tablet, in particular - from Google. So, there was a proprietary application for YouTube and Google cards that the company was fully satisfied. We all remember Fiasco with the launch of our own cards of the company, but then there were no such ambitions. The original application, by the way, still works, although slowly. That I can not say about YouTube.

Simply put, the tablet wonderfully coped with his duties. But every year he had more and more reminded antiques. And in many ways there is a wine of Apple that did not update the device further iOS 5, and therefore the tablet turned out to be "cut off" from all modern applications. At first, it did not seem such a problem for those who had already acquired everything necessary, but soon the situation was difficult to ignore, because one after another applications began to abandon the support of old versions.

Such an aggressive policy in the App Store remains common: remember only Skype, which first updated to the new, in the bayonets of the adopted version, and then stopped supporting the old one. In general, the App Store more often seemed less liberal than Google Play.

What could I use the iPad? It was available to a wide range of applications. You could use text editors, watch movies, listen to music and surf on the Internet. But almost all this is now either impossible or problematic, especially if you use the device is modern. Let's in order.

the Internet

There is no doubt that the majority bought a device to sit on the Internet comfortably. The big screen allows you to watch full-fledged, not mobile versions of sites. The text is clear and understandable - which is important, given the unpretentious characteristics of smartphones of that time.

When I started using them, I really noted that it was very convenient to use the Internet. Do not turn on the computer, wait for the start - everything is always open on the tablet. But in 2017, this functionality almost completely ceased to exist. How so? The fact is that while the Internet has developed, the iPad stood on the spot.

I tried in vain in vain to go to the site both from the built-in Safari and from other browsers - for example, Chrome. But I was waiting for disappointment. The site was loaded almost to the end, and then departed. The same happens with many others. For some criteria, the tablet decides that it can digest, and what - no. Old-fashioned unloaded pages he "eats", but everything else is not very. This means that it can be found on the forums that, in general, did not change at all, but the social networks and most of the modern sites cannot be forces. Permanent departures are frankly annoyed, and soon completely stop even trying to go somewhere. Browsers also stopped updated, so there is no special choice in this matter.

Thus, we found out that the main feature does not fulfill the tablet. He stayed in the past, and does not keep up for fashion trends that transformed the Internet in recent years.

The problem can be circumvented if applications are installed on those or other sites. For example, I can comfortably boil Wikipedia, for which I have been installed Wikipanion. For the news, I always used two applications - Zite, which ordered a long time live two years ago, and Flipboard, which in an amazing way continues to work. But not everyone can read - most sources loaded content in the form of a site, which, again, turns out to be a tablet not for teeth.

The main disappointment was waiting for me with YouTube. The most important video service for which even a special application was created, worked for a long time, as it should be, but at some point Google announced the end of the support of old applications. Such a controversial solution led to the fact that thousands of devices unable to upgrade to the freshest version remained without the support of the service. One thing remained to go to the mobile version of the site. But this is, as you know, uncomfortable. As an alternative, an official application was offered, which, in general, was also worthy and worked without any problems. Until it stopped.

It happened about one year and a half or two years ago, and now the tablet remains at all without the possibility of viewing YouTube - not counting the most sealing mobile site.

Heathsti.

It is known that if the device is considered toApple too old, it is no longer updated. In this regard, users lose the ability to establish new applications that quickly lose support for old OS. At some point, the company introduced a useful bypass for those who cannot update, but want to install a previously purchased application. Everything works like this: when trying to install the application downloads the last supported version. But only if the application has already been bought earlier.

So even if I update my tablet to the fifth versionIOS.I can't downloadYouTube.Because he no longer supports my version. But there is a trick: install on a computeriTunes.And there click "download app". The application begins to download on the PC, but the download can be canceled. Now if you go toApp. Store. ofiPad.can be pressed onYouTube.And the last available version will start jumping, as the system believes that you have already bought it before. This is just an example: now on the firstiPad. no applications forYouTube..

View video

The iPad screen looks outdated by modern standards (1024 × 768 px 132 PPI), but this is noticeable, as a rule, if you read the text. In the case of video problems, it is not noticed - the screen is still bright and pleasant. But is it possible to call the tablet with a convenient device for watching the video? Here I'm not sure.

The fact is that the device is completely refused to work with traditional video formats like MKV or AVI. By downloading third-party programs, they can be forced to work, but without the brakes. It is especially bad for high-quality films - programs simply do not support AC3, or require you to pay extra. In this regard, many videos are idle. But it was not always possible: it happened that the application was updated and simply lost the opportunity to read the AC3 - and then nothing will be returned. Another example of how sometimes things are doing in the App Store. So how to watch? Solutions are several, but none call comfortable.

The simplest thing is to download files in the M4V or MP4 native format. In the Russian-speaking Internet, these formats are not popular, but in the West they are completely common. The rest will have to take for the conversion tool. Personally, I can advise free MKVTomp4 for such a task.

Files can be transmitted using iTunes on PC. In general, this is a labor-intensive process. However, if you don't be lazy, then a good portable player is obtained from the device, capable of showing somewhere four films before discharge, maybe even more. Converted files it shows perfect - subtitles are supported.

As for the streaming services, then it is necessary to look separately. When I checked the last time, Netflix was supported and no longer problems showed 720P video. If you want, you can make an iPad machine to view NetFlix, but when the support is over - to say it is difficult. Iron can, but this is not enough.

Reading

The large screen has to convenient reading both at home and in the subway or train. The iBooks application is wonderfully coping with EPUB format. Inside and tuning fonts, and even the built-in explanatory dictionary is true, only for English. I have always loved this app, and after moving with Apple I missed it for a long time.

The tablet disappears without problems, but for more specific formats like FB2 will have to seek other applications. But I warn you: after the modern screen, it will not work with the comfort of reading with the iPad. The screen is large, but clearly visible pixels can not catch the eye. It spoils the impression of the whole process, but you can't do anything about it. Another problem lies in a rather tangible weight of the device - 680 grams. (at version without 3G) or 730 gr. (from 3G). Many will be frankly inconvenient to read in the subway, holding the device in one hand. I guarantee, you will not be enough for a long time. Although, over the past three years, I have seen several such passengers - the iPad is still alive, no matter what.

Work

During the life of the iPad, there were many applications that expand its functionality. For example, there were a lot of decent text editors, drawing applications, creating music and so on. At one time I comfortably recorded lectures on it. All this can now, but the search for suitable applications may be problematic. The hard tasks of the iPad do not like - it is so strive to fly away.

Music lovers can find GarageBand, which was released to the release of iPad 2, but almost without problems was launched here. For the rest, I hardly see how someone will do work on such an old device. There are many inexpensive alternatives on the market with a large set of features.

Communication

I immediately pay attention: what's there are no cameras - in general. Therefore, I will not play photos with photos, and you do not remove the video. You can not think about any Skype - as I said, the support of old versions has long been discontinued. But still functions the Messages application, if you want to talk to other Apple technology owners. If you have managed to install a client for ICQ (or made it cunning), then it will work. Alas, even omnivorous Telegram only works with IOS 6.0 version. You can use email - still gives signs of life built-in client.

This functionality is certainly limited.

Output. What can I use the iPad in 2017?

iPad is a very resistant device that surprisingly retained not only the appearance after many years of dragging in the bag, but also the battery, which now allows you to see several films. The screen did not lose their former qualities, and the work desk is still smoothly working.

But as for the functional, there is little left. The Internet is almost impossible to surf without constant departures and nerves, with them related, and video requires pretreatment. Services like YouTube, Skype and others stopped working. Sometimes there are ways to bypass, but you won't call them comfortable. The tablet is still working as the reader - if you do not scare the archaic display and the essential weight of the device. As long as Netflix works, but it may change at any time.

I know many buy iPad from hands and are in use for children. I understand why: the tablet seems unthisted, although his weight, again, will be not everyone on the shoulder. But even children can do little with him, and the cartoons will have to pour on it by the cable and iTunes.

Is it possible to use in 2017 iPad? Unlikely. Something he can, but all this forces and a budget tablet that will not be burdened with the old OS.

iPad is one of the main technological advances Apple. Tablet computer worthy of alternative to which is not yet. The perfect device does not only a beautiful iron (excellent IPS screen, battery, which holds 10 hours of watching video, powerful dual-core processor), but also a wonderful software. Very often on the forums and on social networks you can meet the question "Bought Apad, what to put?". Below you will find useful iPad applications that we recommend. The list is not complete, complement your suggestions.

Reading news

I have a basic way to use the iPad is reading news. RSS clients (both traditional and not very) in Epstor a little more than enough. And they all look like each other. This is what I choose:

In my opinion, now it is the best RSS reader. It is transparently integrated from Google Reader, synchronizes read and unread news, supports almost all the Google Reader functionality (you can share articles, celebrate an asterisk, etc., but it does not allow unsubscribe from RSS flow from iPad), allows you to save long and especially valuable Texts in InstaPaper for postponed reading. It is possible to send a link to Delicious, email, etc. Services. Reeder is a visual proof that google is not very good with user interfaces: when you read the news in Reeder, you read 2-3 times more notes, compared to reading through the web interface. [Overview | Download ($ 4.99)]

. Flipboard is a colorful magazine for iPad. You specify Twitter and Facebook data, the program "sucks" all links that you publish your Friends / Friends / Follovers and forms the attractive magazine from these links. Recently, Flipboard has developed great. Here "Channels" of publishers appeared here: the best newspapers of the world give content in the already decorated form. Google Reader support appeared: now read RSS is in the form of a magazine. [Overview | Free download)]

Zite.. Ambitious startup set a complicated task: to offer the reader only those articles that are interesting to him personally. Zite carefully keeps track of what you read that you note as you like. The mass of parameters is taken into account: the themes you give preference, your activity in social networks. Taking into account these "signals" ZITE "Movements" for you. If you are the reader Gizmodo, Engadger, Lifehacker, then probably noticed that every day blogs write about the same thing. As a result, you have to read one news several times. Zite actually solved this problem. Minus Zite - does not support Russian. [Overview | Free download)]

The problem of lack of time is confronted. It happens that in the midst of the working day they send a reference to an interesting, but long article, read which is now impossible. In this case, it is better to add it to the readitlater service (you can do it in one click). ReaditLater is not the only similar service. Many use InstaPaper. The following points can be attributed in favor of ReaditLater: the availability of the free version (the InstaPaper developer has removed the free version from the App Store), the lower cost of the paid version ($ 2.99 against $ 4.99), the ability to save multi-page articles (InstaPaper does not do on fundamental considerations), more rainbow perspectives (Readitlater received financing and form a star programmer team). [| ($ 2.99)]

The second in popularity of the Pattern of using Apad is a communication with friends. Here everything is quite simple and predictable:

There is still no official Facebook for iPad application. Therefore, the choice is reduced to two things. Or use the browser, or one of the unofficial customers. Friendly is one of the most successful applications for active Facebook users. The program offers basic features: reading news feed, status change, download photos from iPad to social network, chat. Friendly is available in two versions - paid ($ 0.99) and free. The latter demonstrates advertising. [| ]

Twitter.. Twitter is a very popular microblogging service and a social network. Customers for working with it created a lot. The official application is improlatent with an interesting interface, third-party developments offer other possibilities. For example, Echofon Pro ($ 4.99) automatically synchronizes unread messages between different devices (iPad, iPhone, Mac - you will never read the same twice).

IMO.IM.. Customer exchange instant messages a lot. I use different, no sharp preferences. Recently, often launching IMO.im. This messenger supports not only MSN, Jabber / GoogleTalk, Skype, Facebook, ICQ, but even exotic Steam (Communication with gamers) and popular in Russia "in contact". [Free download)]

Skype. - Official customer to the Internet telephony service of the same name. Pretty limited in the possibilities, but glad and such. You can call and communicate in the chat now with the iPad. [Overview | Free download)]

Odnoklassniki.. There is an official iPad application and Odnoklassniki. However, it is far from the ideal. It remains to hope that the developers will develop the program. [Free download)]

Reading books and magazines

Mainly for reading books I use the standard Epplovskaya reader. Books I download (already immediately in Epub), I buy. The Apple IBookStore bookstore in Russia does not work yet, so I use American accounts (account replenish the gif-cards). [Free download)]

Unfortunately, the IBooks Store library is weaker, Amazonovskaya. Sometimes I buy books and there. The best thing is that the book turns out to be in Apad after a minute after purchase. These electronic books are beneficial from paper (hello, Russian Post!). [Free download)]

Zinio.. Customer to the service of the same name. Allows you to buy / subscribe to glossy magazines. Recently, I do not use it, but I turned on the selection - the service is useful. [Free download)]

Education

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

Ted.. TED (deciphered as Technology Entertainment and Design - technology, entertainment and design) - the most vivid example of the edument, form of entertainment, which seeks to form and teach. Among the rapporteurs of Conference TED - Nobel laureates, well-known politicians, stars. They say about common issues, offer their decisions. For the right to listen to TED lectures, many pay thousands of dollars. However, over time, video is postponed for free. The official TED for iPad application offers access to a huge archive. You can even download the video in advance to see it, for example, on the road. Also worth paying attention to the TED + SUB application. This program allows you to watch video with subtitles.

Star Walk. and Solar Walk.. Novosibirsk company Vito Technology is engaged in the development of electronic "cosmic encyclopedias". Star Walk is a digital planetary. This is the best director for astronomy among those available for iPad. Solar Walk is dedicated to the planets of the solar system. Both programs are highlighted. For their developments, Novosibirsk won even Apple Design Award. [Star Walk ($ 4.99) | Solar Walk ($ 2.99)]

MOMA AB EX NY. I am far from art (I'm not proud of this), but the app downloaded. I wanted to see what the program released by one of the leading museums of the world looks like. Moma offers access to a small part of its collection of artists of the school of abstract expressionism. Pictures of paintings are given in high resolution. They can be "closer", considering the details. Many paintings are equipped with a museum curator audio encodimizers. There are several videos that explain the basics of art, drawing techniques, explain the main terms. [Free download)]

In childhood, chemistry do not love, giving preference to physics. However, if I then have such an application, everything could work out otherwise. The Elements are a rethinking periodic table of elements. Interactive textbook on chemical elements. Colorful illustrations, a huge amount of valuable information is somewhat fused against the background that there is no Russian language. [Download ($ 13.99]

You can read Wikipedia, of course without any applications. But with the aesthetic side of the article in Wikipedia, it looks not very good. All these endless footnotes are useful to researchers. And when you want to just read the articles from the encyclopedia, a little sense from them. Articles turns the wiki in the encyclopedia, which is pleasant to read. The application at one time won the Apple Design Award, and is quite deserved. [Download ($ 4.99)]

Skeleton System Pro II. 3D4Medical company is engaged in the release of applications that help to better understand the structure of a person. The programs of this company use 3D visualization. As a result, each organ, every vertebra can be considered. [Download ($ 19.99)]

Work

Simple application to write texts. Home "Fishka" - synchronization of documents between devices using the Dropbox service. The support of the Russian language and the free of charge makes the program and at all attractive. [Free download)]

iWork.. For those, you need more text editing opportunities, who needs instruments for paperwork, it is worth paying attention to the IWork Application Set. Numbers, Keynote and Pages are available in the App Store on $ 10 for the application. [Numbers | Pages | KeyNote]

For iPad / Wunderlist. It is impossible to go around the topic of task managers. Their for iPad is presented by many. The most advanced, in my opinion, is an OmniFocus. The main advantage of the application is the Forecast mode, which shows your employment for the next week. Parted from $ 40 for the Task Manager is not easy. As a free alternative, you can recommend Wunderlist, which is available for iPad, iPhone, OS X, Windows and Android (note the presence of "cloud" synchronization). [($ 39.99) | WunderList (free)]

Evernote has pretty good versions for iPad. You can make text and audio lights, all data is synchronized between different devices. [Free download)]

View video

Oplayer HD.. With watching video on Ipad, everything is not quite simple. If you want to watch a video encoded not in H.264, then the files will have to recode. But there is a second option - to use such a player on the iPad, which understands different file formats and codecs. Players that promise to reproduce absolutely everything in the App Store is really a lot. Most of them either have a monstrous interface (directly trouble) or do not have any important functionality. As a result, if you need to throw a video file with one track and without subtitles on the iPad, it is worth paying attention to Azul ($ 1.99). You will not spend time on recoding. If you are important to be able to switch between tracks and subtitles on the fly, then you should purchase Oplayer HD ($ 4.99).

Air Video. If the computer (no matter, Mac or PC) works constantly, then you can transmit video from it straight on the iPad. It is convenient that it is not necessary to convert video. Let's say, at breakfast you can see a new series of the theory of the Big Bang. You can organize such a broadcast using AIR VIDEO. The program is installed on the computer and on the iPad. There is a free version. Very convenient application. [Air Video Free | Air Video]

IMDB for iPad.. I love movies, I evaluate viewed movies on IMDB, there is a Watchlist - a list of pictures that I would like to see. The IMDB application is one of the reasons to love the service. Simple, comfortable, functional, free. [

Each application is pure gold.

Thanks to Apple 2017, the revolution in the field of mobile applications was noted. Apple widely updated the App Store and made unique tools available to developers to create applications using augmented reality, whose potential has just started to disclose. However, in addition to applications with augmented reality over the past 12 months, a variety of class applications has emerged in the App Store. What applications for iPhone and iPad in 2017 were distinguished more than others? This article collected the best applications, learn about which you need to each user.

Affinity Photo (1 150 rubles)

Affinity Photo is a powerful photo editing tool that came out in 2017 exclusively for the iPad. Image Editor Affinity Photo is designed specifically for artists and photographers who like to work on the iPad. The application is characterized by the highest speed of work, an intuitive interface and a huge set of professional tools.

And the latter is not an exaggeration. Any tool that you expect to see in the photo editing application, be it unlimited layers, support for RAW format, information about the histogram, etc., is available in Affinity Photo. In addition, the application has tools for fast retouching, support for improved engagement engine with support for custom brushes and a wide range of drawing tools. All this allowed the affinity photo to get the title of the best application for Apple iPad 2017. And we will not argue with this statement.

IKEA PLACE (free)

2017 It turned out incredibly important for the mobile application industry because of the launch of Apple tools for developers - Arkit, which allow you to create amazing applications with supported reality. After starting Arkit, thousands of applications that use augmented reality appeared in the App Store, but due to the new technology, not all of them were useful in use.

Really useful can be called the IKEA Place app from the Finnish company IKEA. It gives users the opportunity to see how one or another object of furniture IKEA will look right at your home. Yes, IKEA PLACE is not the perfect application and it will not be able to use every day, but in the list of the best applications of the year was obliged to be an application with support for augmented reality. Although one, perhaps, is not enough.

Airmeasure (free)

In 2017, the developers of the AIRMEASURE application are very distinguished - a universal set of tools for measuring real-world facilities using augmented reality. The application allows you to measure anything since fine items, ending with people and buildings. With the iPhone!

And measure with high accuracy. AIRMEASURE application must necessarily need each iPhone user.

Things 3 (749 rubles)

Things 3 - the newest version of the popular application for maintaining a task list. However, Things are not only a popular application, but also, perhaps, the best of its kind. In 2017, the developers of Things once improved their brainchild, recycling design. And by making it in such an amazing way that, literally, no one user had complaints about the update.

On the contrary, users were delighted with Things 3. A more intuitive and beautiful interface, the function of quick search for content throughout the application and a unique "magic" button to add new tasks to the most quickly left the fans of the utility are indifferent.

Astro Mail (free)

Most likely, you did not hear about Astro Mail. The application did not receive (for now) of great popularity in the CIS countries, mainly due to the fact that it is not translated into Russian. Nevertheless, Astro Mail is a unique application. This is a mail application that uses artificial intelligence separating important letters from unwanted mail. The idea of \u200b\u200bthe developers of Astro Mail was not only original, but also effective. Artificial intelligence really manages to track not important letters at all and do not disturb the user with their display.

By the way, and without this supervision of artificial intelligence Astro Mail is an excellent email application. It has all the necessary functions from tracking specific correspondence and sending planned letters, ending with the ability to unsubscribe from mailings, archiving messages and support Slack.

Spark from Readdle (free)

On the other hand, Astro Mail will be very difficult to win the love of users. ReaDDLE who adored by millions was powerfully updated the SPARK's own email application, in which the tracking function of the artificial intelligence of important and not very letters appeared.

This feature is associated with a refreshed interface, a large number of new features and incredibly beautiful design make one of the best email applications from available for iPhone and iPad.

Telegram X (free)

At the end of the year, the developers of the popular Telegram messenger pleased users with a new version of the application created specifically for iOS devices. Written in Apple SWIFT programming language The Telegram X application is the most fast and energy efficient client for Telegram, which will forever remain an exclusive for iPhone and iPad.

The difference with the usual Telegram application is huge. Telegram X not only rapidly responds to each user action, but also minimally affects the battery. The site conducted testing and exponentially revealed that for the same time, the usual Telegram consumes 15% of the iPhone battery charge, and Telegram X is only 2%. If you use Telegram, it is simple to install.

Clips (free)

Apple has noted a new excellent application in 2017. The CLIPS application allows you to create small funny videos with art filters, emoji, music, stickers, animated text and the main thing - "alive" headlines and subtitles. "Live" headlines and subtitles for video users can create with voice. The text is automatically generated directly as the user pronounces phrases, ideally following the rhythm.

The Clips app is very simple and convenient to use what is most profitable to develop Apple from other similar editors.

Selfissimo! (is free)

At the end of the year, Google presented a gorgeous surprise to Selfie fans, and just lovers of photography. Google has released a selfissimo application on the iPhone and iPad!, Offering a very original way of shooting - before this was not in any application.

Selfissimo!, Based on a specially trained neural network, makes a photo of a person on the front chamber every time he poses. The application very accurately tracks the movements of the user or even the group of people in the frame, and automatically takes a picture when people are posing for shooting. What is the most amazing, selfissimo! Able to identify animals in the frame! A breakthrough of the year in the genre of Selfie, not otherwise!

Alice (free)

Fortunately, it was not dealt with the list of the best applications and without the development of domestic developers. Yandex has launched its own voice assistant "Alice", which became part of the Yandex branded app. Alice can respond to various questions or simply communicate with the user in the best traditions of leading voice assistants. But it does it "in our opinion," that is why trying "Alice" is recommended to each user.

"Alice" is not released as a separate application. Access to it can be obtained from the main application "Yandex".

For a long time you have an iPad or you live with him for several years, in any case it is always nice to meet new applications. No application list can be quite exhausted, but today we will provide you with a brief overview of the best programs, and we hope that it will satisfy the appetites of many.

We will look at all familiar old applications that were and are best of their kind, and also meet new participants in our functionality.

Let's start!

Reeder
We will begin our huge list from the program that I use every day several times. Reeder is a fantastic program for reading any articles through your account in Google Reader. I really like the minimalist interface and the control of the sensor, and the program itself is made in the quality style of iOS.

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

Jamie's Recipes.
Jamie's Recipes is one of the best examples of recipe programs. From photographs of dishes just flow saliva, and from the video generally the heart stops! The program is free, but new recipes are bought for money separately.

Kindle.
We have already talked about this program as many in our list. This is the best (and only one) way of reading books through Amazon Bookstore. I will be honest - I like the IBooks service more, but since the books themselves on the iPad are not frequent, then the program should be check out.

Calcbot.
Calcbot is an excellent calculator designed for any computing. Powerful platform hiding behind a simple and attractive interface.

Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP
The game? Art? Whatever it was, this is a very beautiful application. Find a little time and plunge into this fantastic musical world. If you like puzzles and surreal species, then this program is for you.

Zite.
This is a great way to store articles and news that meet your requirements, and which you like to read. It is worth trying Zite and Flipboard to make a choice between these two programs of the same type and enjoy the news.

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

MLB AT BAT.
If NFL '11 is a MLB AT BAT follower, then the MLB AT BAT itself is an ideal in the genre of mobile football. 10 out of 10, you know. An excellent example showing the iPad power as a gaming platform.

Firetask.
Firetask is an excellent solution to all your limiting problems. A magnificent organizer, an overview for which has already flashed in our articles. Synchronization. Event layout, calendar - all here.

Filterstorm Pro.
This program we gave solid 9 out of 10 points for its power and functionality. This platform can replace their laptop for many photographers, and become excellent helpers in editing and editing photos on the go.

IMDB.
About this program has already been said very much, and if you are a fan of films, it is created for you. New trailers, movie news, a bunch of available information about premieres and films in development ... A free and excellent program that all should appreciate!

Bamboo Paper.
Bamboo Paper is a great way to turn your tablet to the communication tool. It is difficult to tear away from this utility that offers us a stunning paper interface and a bunch of places to create notes.

Bloomberg.
If you are a person who wants to always be aware of all financial news, Bloomberg is your perfect choice. Permanent balance sheet updates of news feeds with information on current currency courses, banks and other financial disgrace. Very high quality program with excellent interface.

iCAB Mobile
An excellent browser that can become an alternative to safari. There is a bunch of functions that are missing from competitors. You can even pour files on sites.

Bloom HD.

According to statistics, the iPad Air has become the most irrelated gift for Christmas. At least it is this gadget Americans most often tried to resell after the holiday. Perhaps these people simply really needed money or they did not know how useful the "apple" tablet could be, if you set the corresponding software on it. We have compiled a selection of the most necessary and useful applications that will turn your iPad into an ideal tool for work and entertainment.

Reading

iPad is, first of all, a convenient reading tool. A garbage retina-display is not so tiring and makes the text look beautiful, and the size of the screen and the reading of reading from it make electronic readers are simply sex.

iBooks.
The most convenient application for reading books on iOS was developed by Apple itself. Some users still miss the old version of IBooks with her "wooden" bookshelves, but the appearance of the program, updated under iOS 7, also pleases. The text in the application looks perfect, Apple thought over all the little things. Downloaded books are saved in the "cloud", so they can be synchronized with any other device: iPhone, iPod or even with Mac.

The program is built into the store of books in which you can quickly buy the necessary works. True, Russian-speaking content is a bit. But in iBooks easily open Epub-files, if you try to download their Safari browser from any popular, including "Pirate", online library. In addition, iBooks can open the e-book files stored in your "cloud", from Dropbox applications, Yandex.Disk or other similar.

From disadvantages, it can be noted that the application only supports EPUB and PDF format. Other formats, for example, popular FB2, the program will not understand. The application is distributed free of charge, Apple itself will offer you to download iBooks, as soon as you first fall into the App Store.

You can download the application for free on the App Store.

Pocket.
An application for deferred reading, which allows you to select and systematize all interesting content found on the network. It often happens that going, for example, on the website of Westa. Haytek you see a big review that I want to read, but at the moment it's just once. If you are a Pocket user, you just press one button, after which the interesting text will be securely saved in your Pocket account and will wait until you have an extra minute to read it.

Pocket application is available on desktops, iPhone, iPad, Android devices, Windows Phone, BlackBerry, Web OS, S60 - that is, everywhere. To save the browser pockets in Pocket, it is enough to establish the appropriate expansion into the browser. Integration with the service has many other applications, such as Twitter.

In Pocket, you can save not only articles, but also, for example, video from YouTube, content can be systematized by various tags. View materials transferred to Pocket more convenient than from Web - the application optimizes reading pages, enlarges the text, removes advertising.

If you join the Pocket ecosystem, the application gradually becomes almost indispensable, allowing you to store all the most important materials on hand. The program knows how to load content in the background. Thus, you can read articles, for example, in the subway distances, when the mobile Internet does not work. Pocket is integrated with multiple applications. For example, keep links from twitters to the service from the official IOS client Twitter.

If the functionality of iBooks does not suit you, we can advise - very high-quality alternative "reader" (though it works only with EPUB).

Air Video HD.
If you like to watch movies and TV shows from iPad, while at home, it is not necessary to suffer with the transfer to the rollers and score the tablet's memory. The AIR VIDEO HD application allows you to use rollers from your computer via Wi-Fi in any formats without conversion.

Use the program is very simple. It is enough to download the client from the developer site to your computer (PC or Mac) and specify a folder in which movies are located. After that, run the application on the iPad, select your computer and see this folder. All, you can watch video.

The old Air Video program can be downloaded for free of charge in the App Store (there are certain limitations that, if you wish, you can unlock the built-in purchase). A more advanced and modern version of AIR VIDEO HD will cost 99 rubles.

Tunein Radio.
The iPad has very loud and high-quality speakers (stereo sounds available in the iPad AIR). This allows the use of a tablet as a radio reception that can fill the sound room of medium sizes. Tunein Radio is, perhaps, the best app store for listening to Russian-speaking radio stations.

In the program, you can find a huge number of different stations - all of them are divided into categories. Under the name station is written, what track is now losing on the air. Channels can be added to Favorites so as not to search for them every time. The built-in player is also very comfortable, the design pleases the eye.

In addition to Russian-speaking stations in the appendix you can listen to radio on dozens of other languages. Not only "live" radio, but also a variety of diverse podcasts.

SPBTV
Best applications in the App Store to view Russian TV channels. Its interface is quite cute and, which is much more important, you can watch a large number of domestic channels for free. Also in the appendix there are channels available only by subscription (5 dollars a month for everything at once). However, most users are quite comprehensive. There are a lot of channels in other languages.

If the SPB TV did not like, try to download Crystal TV - a very good application. True, there are fewer free channels in it, but the television program is clearly displayed.

news

Reeder 2.
Download and use applications for all favorite media uncomfortable. It is much better to simply subscribe to their RSS streams and view the ribbons using one good program. We recommend Reeder 2.

Reeder allows you to view a huge amount of RSS feed with maximum speed and convenience. The application was sourced by the client for Google Reader, and after its sustainable closure it became supported by Feedly, Feedbin, Feed Wrangler and Fever. These services allow you to synchronize your news feeds on any devices.

If desired, Reeder can work with individual RSS feeds, just enter their address to the application, but in this case synchronization - for example, between Reeder 2 on the iPhone and on the iPad - it will be impossible.

The program is really very convenient and saves a huge amount of time. It is very pleasant to use the service, you feel that every detail developers thought carefully.

The only minus is the cost. The program is implemented in the App Store for 169 rubles.

Feedly.
A free and very decent alternative to Reeder 2. The program can boast a stylish minimalist interface. It looks all juicy, functionality is also at the level. And let the application slightly lagging behind earnings from the aforementioned paid analogue, use the program is still pleasant and convenient. Upload Feedly in App Store

Creation

iPad is not only a device for consumption of content, but also the tool for the most diverse creativity. Excellent software for artists, composers, designers created a great set, these are themes for individual reviews. We will tell only about several of them.

Tayasui. Sketches.
One of the best drawing programs on the iPad. Even the basic version is very functional.

The application extends to the Freemium model. You can download it for free, but additional possibilities are only available in the PRO version, which is sold for 129 rubles. But to make a complete impression of the capabilities of the program, the free basic version is quite enough.

In the iPhone version, five tools are available to the user by default - pencil, pen, brush, felt-tip and eraser. The main advantage of the application is its simplicity. Running Tayasui Sketches, you will see before you are not a lot of confusing interface elements, but just a clean sheet inspiring on creativity.

The standard palette consists of twelve primary colors. To get unique shades, it is enough to click on the selected color twice, after which it will be possible to choose the desired color gamut with accuracy, adjusting the brightness and saturation

It is very simple to draw, nothing distracts from the most important thing. This is the main advantage that is so lacking other similar applications that are overloaded with superfluous elements and menus. As the main competitor, you need to mention Paper, also an excellent application for drawing a finger, with a simple interface and intuitive control. Tayasui Sketches has one important advantage - it is available not only on the iPad, but also on the iPhone.

It should not be noted that Tayasui Sketches is greatly decorated. During the download, we see the cover of a virtual notebook. The application interface is minimalistic, well combined with iOS 7. Especially note the gesture management program. To save the picture, it is enough to make a "pinch" of the picture, the color change is made by a double tap to cancel the changes sufficiently pull in two fingers to the left to return the back - right. Moving canvas can be holding two fingers. It is very convenient, yes, moreover, it allows you to abandon the screen buttons, cluttering the interface.

You can work immediately with multiple canvas, save work in "Photos", send them to Twitter, Facebook and E-mail. Also implemented the ability to change the color of the paper or even imitate the notebooks in the cell and Lineber.

Paper.
Another "Drawing" for iOS. In 2012, Apple called the program "Best App for iPad". Paper can be used both for drawing and creating fast sketches or notes.

Paper pleases a variety of small "chips". For example, a "mixer" allows you to mix paint as well as create your own palette sets. With the help of a magnifying glass, it is possible to increase the "plop" not the entire picture, but a certain part of it.

The standard set includes only two tools - pencil and eraser. To get additional attributes will have to pay 2 dollars for each. The program is completely translated into Russian.

iMovie.
Recently, Apple allows everyone who purchased the iOS device, download your iWork and ILIFE applications for free. The offer is really very generous, especially considering the previous cost of these programs. Among them is hiding and a wonderful tool for mounting video iMovie.

If you tried to mount the video on your computers, you noticed that Adobe Premier or the same Final Cut from Apple is complex programs that need to study for a long time to be able to easily mount the roller.

iMovie literally "flesh from flesh" tablet, the simplest, but the functional application, with which even a complete newcomer can cope with.

The application is a lot of similar to IMOVIE for Mac, so that users of "apple" computers do not have to be retracted.

Crop, divide, drag the pieces of the roller right with your fingers. You can apply music from the library on video. Also, IMOVIE has a whole library of sound effects, various templates for creating trailers are available.

You can directly from the application to Facebook, youTube and Vimeo. In general, IMOVIE on the iPad is the best tool for non-professional mounting. Nevertheless, the functionality of the program is largely brought by simplicity.

Photoshop Touch.
The capabilities of the Tablet version of Photoshop are largely repeated what the desktop version of the editor offers. Thus, with a photo it will turn out to be done almost all that the soul is pleased.

Different features in Photoshop Touch Such a quantity that weeks will go to study - this is a really professional tool that can satisfy almost any needs of a professional designer, a photographer, an artist, and so on. Something in which Photoshop Touch even exceeds the desktop version - for example, you can take a picture immediately from the iPad camera and immediately start processing it.

Moreover, the Photoshop Touch interface is ideally adapted for sensory control. Some actions are more convenient to perform exactly touching the screen of the tablet, and not leading the mouse. Most filters and effects can be applied almost instantly.

Adobe perfectly coped with the provision of convenient separation of fragments. Even without any stylus, a man with thick fingers quickly and easily designates the segment of the snapshot, there is an automatic selection, which can then be slightly corrected manually.

The program can be downloaded to the App Store for 329 rubles (for professional Adobe Product this can be said, ridiculously low price).

If it is important for you that professional processing is rapidly, can advise the Filterstorm Neue program - the possibilities in it are less than in Photoshop, but still a lot. But to learn how to use the program is much simpler, the speed of editing is also higher, and it costs it cheaper - 129 rubles.

Work

Pages
One of the best text editors on the iPad. Download its new tablet owners again can be completely free. Mac users know Pages for a long time. For those who prefer PCs, it can be noted that Pages are a kind of equivalent Word, however, the functionality is slightly smaller, but everything is more convenient and thoughtful.

The program has an excellent IOS 7 interface. It automatically synchronizes all text files from iCloud. A lot of advanced editing methods are available - you can embed into text image, charts, tables, geometric shapes, and so on.

Created documents are not necessary to maintain Pages. You can immediately send them in Word format, PDF or even turn into an e-book in EPUs to continue reading already in iBooks.

It is especially convenient when you have Pages installed on your computer and you save documents in ICloud - in this case, any file will always be at hand.

You can download Pages in the App Store

ia Writer.
If you often write texts without resorting to advanced editing, the best option may be simple and minimalistic IA Writter. The program is especially loved by journalists, bloggers, and other representatives of writing professions. There is synchronization not only through ICloud, but also with Dropbox, which allows you to not think about transferring documents between different devices.

The design of the application is ideal for concentrating on the text. No unnecessary menus is displayed, nothing distracts. Everything is concise, simple and functional. Of the minuses, you can note the time that the absence (we hope, temporary) redesign under iOS 7. And however, the program interface fits into the appearance of the Ourser and so, and some kind of keyboard like it even more.

You can upload the application in the App Store for 169 rubles.

You can learn more about various text editors for the iPad for more details and choose the ideal option by reading such applications.

Keynote.
If you often have to create presentations, you can again advise the standard Apple program called Keynote. The application allows you to easily create high-quality presentations. It seems to us that it is much more convenient to use it on a tablet than POWERPOINT on a PC.

For the design of slides, you can use photos, various styles of fonts, various types of graphs and so on. You can add comments, configure transitions, there are many different templates that simplify life. Presentations from the application can be sent by e-mail, you can print, transfer via iTunes, icloud.

Also directly from the application can be associated with a presentation with the projector or withdraw it by AirPlay on Apple TV. After downloading Keynote, you will receive a full and very simple tool for creating presentations, which can be completely replaced by "desktop" analogues.

Haiku Deck.
Many users do not like to create presentations. The abundance of opportunities in editors such as Power Point or Slides, scares them, confuses and pushes overload the slides of unnecessary information. The free IOS application Haiku Deck will allow you to create a stylish presentation in a few minutes.

What is the secret of most mobile startups? In the maximum simplicity and absence of unnecessary functions. One of the first, this trend was asked Instagram, then it was picked up such services as, or. Similarly, the developers of Haiku Deck. They thrown out everything from the functional, which is only possible, leaving only the naked presentation base - text and photos.

Add a complex schedule, impose music or video through the application will not work. The program will not allow and score one slide with a large number of information. A few words are beautifully decorated text plus the image - that's all that Haiku Deck can offer. Nevertheless, the presentations created in the program look and perceived much better than most projects created in "monsters" such as POWER POINT. The program is simply not allowed to do bad - this function is not provided in it, so that quite convenient and reading presentations will even come to users with not the most, so to speak, straight hands.

A person opens the application, a few seconds rejoices a beautiful, smooth, thoughtful design, then presses the "+" button and creates its project. In each slide, he fits several lines of text, selects its style and location.

When creating a presentation in Power Point, it takes exactly all the time to find the desired images, download them from the network and embed it into the project. Haiku Deck does it in a few seconds. The main "chip" program is that it automatically looks for beautiful photos and pictures for each of the words of the text. Haiku Deck will ask which of the words in the slide most reflects his essence. The user clicks on the desired word or introduces its own, and a second in a second, hundreds of high-quality images in free access appear in front of it. Despite the fact that some of the pictures found are not too relevant, it is very convenient.

Of course, you can download your own pictures and pictures into the application, and this function is implemented very convenient. Images can be added not only from the camera and from the photo album "Apada", you can choose directly from the album in Instagram and Facebook, upload from Dropbox, Flickr, Picasa or Google Drive.

Three topics of text design are available in the free version of the program. In general, they are quite enough. However, those who want a variety, the application allows you to buy many other original topics for two dollars per each.

Summing up, we can say that the application is really indispensable, but in its own way. It is not suitable for creating complex presentations, but only allows you to pull out several theses on the screen, which is really enough for visual support for most speeches. To create more heavy presentations using a tablet, you will have to download another program, for example, developed by Apple's 10-dollar Slides app.

Unlike Haiku Deck's competitors, it will create a stylish presentation in just a few minutes. This process has never been so simple. No learning. As soon as the user opens the program, he immediately interteadually understands how it works. The Australian startup really made the world a little better, having relived it from many ugly and unreadable presentations in Power Point created by inexperienced users.

Download the application is available free of charge at the App Store.

Numbers.
In addition to the tool for creating presentations and for a set of text, many users are needed electronic tables in the spirit of Microsoft Exel. The best "tabular" service on the iPad is again developed by Apple applications Numbers.

This is a very simple and high-quality program. Some professors may consider its ability to be insufficient, but queries 99 percent of users it satisfies perfectly.

The program supports complex formulas, can build a variety of graphs and diagrams. In Numbers, you can process graphs in Excel format. In this way, you can, for example, start doing a table in the usual application from Microsoft, and finish it already on the iPad.

You can download Numbers for iPad in the App Store.

Useful little things

For most customary services familiar on iPad, there are convenient applications that will allow practically stopping to enter the browser. First, you should definitely download Customers of the social networks you use. Push notifications will always be in touch and know what happens to friends.

For the social network "VKontakte" best download the official program "Vkontakte for iPad". She lags behind the quality of execution from the iPhone client (he has already managed to adapt under iOS 7), nevertheless, nothing better than the App Store offers. You can console yourself with the fact that the iPad version, unlike the smartphone, can cache songs for listening offline.

Also download the Facebook client, it is convenient and quite functional. The best solution for Twitter on the iPad is still long
