NBR: iPad functions

Ceci131

I am considering an iPad, I know I'm a little late to join the bandwagon but it's hard to justify the expense. What are the must function/most used apps? I know it can do really cool stuff, but what are the apps you can't live with out & make it worth it?

 

Thanks!

I am on the ipad2 and honestly I dont get it. I mean I like it and it is convenient. But if I had a nice cellphone with internet, I sure wouldnt need this thing. It is just a nice portable way to check out the internet for me, it has been a good way to pass the time when my LO is on a marathon nursing session. Other people might have better answers, but for me the nice thing is the portable internet access. My LO likes to hit the screen and watch it move around too.

I agree. DH bought me one against my wishes and I think it is stupid. When I get my new phone, we will probably sellit.

I love my iPad!  It makes surfing the internet really easy, especially one handed when nursing. It fits in my purse, and I can take take it anywhere.  For DD1, the most used apps are Netflix, Pandora, and an art/drawing app.  DD2 loves an app where she touches the screen and letters/numbers/colors/shapes appear (you can set it to record your voices telling her what they are).  I only let her play for a minute at a time, and she grabs for the iPad when it is off.  The iPad is a lifesaver when running errands with DD1.  She can read books, listen to music, play games, and entertain herself when I am trying on a hundred pairs of pants that don't fit.

My favorite app, is my period tracker app.  Seems kind of silly, but it's really important.  I also use the babysteals app and NBC app alot.  At work, I watch Netflix while I pump!  Of course, there are lots of cool games.  I hate looking at a small screen, and never use my phone for internet unless I have too.  The only drawback, is that it is a two step process to post on the bump.
