Best Apps for the iPad
Games
Fruit Ninja – This is one game that’s just inexplicably addictive in spite of, or maybe even because of, its incredible simplicity. The object is simply to slice and prepare a fruit salad, so you’d never guess it’ll be such a big hit. Part of its appeal may be the choice of whether to play with a group of friends or simply kill time playing solo.
Media
Zinio – While Kindle may be a great book-reader, Zinio is definitely the app of choice where magazine reading is concerned. This app gives you beautiful colours and excellent displays for reading your favourite magazine on the iPad. It even allows you to buy single magazine issues or purchase subscriptions. What’s best is that you can share your favourite articles on social media free of charge.
Music and Video
Netflix – People just love watching TV shows and movies on the iPad’s vibrant screen. This is why Netflix is among the best apps for the iPad. You only have to pay a flat monthly fee, and you can watch all the TV shows and movies that you want!
Utilities
Weather HD – Who says weather forecasts have to be boring? This app makes the act of checking the weather forecast just as enjoyable as watching movies on the iPad. You can check the weather in different cities and set the display to show the clock set in either 12 or 24 hours. It shows other important details like temperatures and the likelihood of rain as well.
Sports
NBA Courtside – Now, you can watch the NBA and get video highlights featuring the teams’ performance stats, the players’ post-season stats, and other pertinent details.
Of course, these are just some of the best apps for the iPad. There are plenty of others you can choose from, but for starters, these should be more than enough.
