iPad Apps that I like!

Since I started to use iPad in december 2010 a lot of my habits have changed. When I got my first iPad I thought that I was going to buy newspapers and magazines, but in fact I haven’t done that at all. I read the articles I want to read in Flipboard och Zite. On the other hand I have bought several e-books and I read them in both  iBooks and Kindle. I also have Bluefire, but only to be able to read books from the Swedish e-library, Elib. I also read almost every pdf that is sent to me, on my iPad and if I need to comment or make notes I use GoodReader.

I have been using Evernote for taking notes since 2009. Even if I only had an iPhone and a MacBook by then, it was still making my life easier to be able to sync notes between the devices. When I got my iPad it became even easier. One thing I wasn’t content with was the To-Do-lists apps. That was until we started to use Wunderlist. Both me and Roine have started to use Wunderlist and that means we can share project-lists with each other and then we can follow when the tasks get done one after one in our own devices. Makes working together a lot easier!

An app that is new to me is Blogsy. I like it more and more for every time I use it. I have tested other apps for blogging but they made me feel uncomfortable. Blogsy has a new type of user interface that makes it more fun to blog! Though, it didn’t come natural to start with, I have spent some time with understanding it’s features and I still haven’t learned everything. Originally I wrote this blogpost in Swedish and did it all in Blogsy on my iPad, but now when I translate and make changes in the text I use my MacBook because it’s such a complicated blogpost with lots of links and pictures.

Garageband is an app that I have had for a long time. First on my MacBook and then on my iPad. But it was something that stopped me from understanding how to take the first step, I got irritated and just left it. It might have something to do with that I haven’t got a clue about how to compose music, but some week ago I could make it work and now I have actually made my first song on iPad. I even used the iPad’s mic, so the song sounds a bit cold. But who cares? I made it! I published the song on Soundcloud. I didn’t get the time to put the end of the song in it, but I carry it in my head, so, who knows, maybe there will be a next time?

Vårsolen by Åsa YES, the title in english is ”The Spring Sun” and I have added a swedish translation on Soundcloud.

Like I wrote in an earlier blogpost I also draw on my iPad.

The fact is that I use my iPad all the time! The other day I said to Roine: ”iPad is really an Åsa-machine! I think there’s almost no end for how long I could entertain myself with my iPad…”
