My friend and co-author at We of Hue, and author of The Posh Blog asked her friends on Facebook to share their favorite iPad apps. I was planning on writing a post about this anyway, so her question just kicked me into action.
I am an iPad and app addict. My ipad keeps me connected without taking over my life. It is light, so I can carry it every where , and I use it to help facilitate my many jobs. There are so many apps for productivity and I am finally feeling like I can keep myself organized.
Truth be told, I love downloading and trying new apps. I tend to stick to the free apps as there is nothing worse than paying for an app only to find out it sucks!
Anyway, here are my favorites.
Business and Productivity
Cozi: a digital family organizer with calendar (multiple if you need to keep track of various people and tasks), to-do list, shopping list, and more. Sign up online and then download the iPad app. (Free)
MiniBooks: app that keeps you connected to our FreshBooks account so that you can send, view, and edit invoices on the go. ($14.99 but there is a Lite Version for free)
iMockups: for web designers who need to create wireframes for your own use or for clients. ($6.99)
Friendly for Facebook: with not official Facebook App for iPad, I attempted to use the Facebook app for iPhone, and it just sucked. Friendly is so much better. It supports up to 4 accounts too. ($.99)
