Download the Right Apps for the Job
Your iPad won’t work as a Mac replacement if you don’t have the correct tools at your disposal. For most of us, the iPad already has many useful apps that can help complete your next homework, edit videos or photos, or set up a work meeting on the go.
The apps you need will depend on the work you usually do, but here are a few suggestions to get you started:
- Microsoft Word: You probably already know this app, but it’s perfect for every kind of writing from homework to professional letters and business proposals.
- Files: Apple’s file management tool. It’s already on your iPad, and quite handy when you need to download or manage files, photos, or videos.
- LumaFusion: Many consider this to be among the best video editing tools for the iPad.
- Procreate: An amazing app for those who draw for a living or even just as a hobby.
- Sheets: Google’s spreadsheet app. What’s great about it is that you can save all your work in the cloud and pick up where you left off on your iPad.
