Since I have had it for a few month I can tell you my overall feelings towards it. I absolutely love it! I was scared that 16G was going to be to small but it is a good amount of space for me. There are so many amazing apps that I will show you. All the apps on my iPad I have are free!
The Bottom Apps
Here I keep the Message app. I don't really use this because I text with my phone and only people who have an iPhone can message you through this app.
The Mail app has my shopping email and personal email so I can look at my inbox, send mail, delete mail...all that fun stuff.
I got the Gmail app for the app store because I wanted to be able to view my school emails and blog emails.
I prefer Google Chrome over Safari (which is the standard web browser for apple products). I like Chromes set up better and it seems faster.
The First Page
Facetime: I have never used. I used Skype on my laptop because my fiance does not have any apple products.
Calendar: I used to use the calendar on my laptop but it was to much. Now that I have an iPad this is nice to travel will I am beginning to use it. I tend to only put appointments in so I don't forget!
Photos: This app is just where all your photos go.
Camera: The camera works really well but I don't take a lot of pictures with my iPad I usually use my phone.
Contacts: I have only two people in my contacts. I will eventually add more contacts so that I have them with me just in case.
Clock: I am a big nap person so I set alarms to wake me up. I also use the timer for fitness. The clock app has a world clock, alarm, stopwatch, and timer.
Maps: I have not used this and my iPad only has internet if there is WiFi available.
Videos: This is where all your videos go.
Newsstand: I have not used this so I can't really say anything about it.
Notes: If anything comes to mind I will type it in.
Reminders: Useful if you need to remind your self of something.
Photobooth: Has different photo affects. Fun to fool around with.
Gamecenter: This is just game stuff.
iTunes: Where you buy music, movies, and audiobooks.
App Store: Where you can get apps.
Settings: I'm sure everyone knows what this is.
TWC: I am thinking of getting another weather app. I don't really like the weather channel app.
iPhoto: You can edit photos and make albums.
Dropbox: Just a storage site. For documents, photos, etc.
BlackBoard: My university does not have the app version for free so I have to pay in order to use this. I haven't paid for it I am still deciding whether to.
Second Page
On this page I have many categories to keep my iPad organized. I have Education, Social, Entertainment, Shopping, Games, Fitness, and Utilities.
myHomework: I love agendas but I'm to much of a perfectionist. So I took a break and started using this app. Its great I have all of my classes and assignments in it! I love that you can change what type of assignment it is, such as, homework, project, test, reading, etc.
Evernote: I don't use this too much but I do have some stuff on it. You can make notes on it and clip articles off websites
EDUCATION
Google Drive: This app is just like Dropbox. I use Dropbox more often but Google Drive is part of my student email so I put school documents in Google drive.
Quizlet: If you a student this is a must have! They have an online website as well. Its a website where you put in vocab words and you can study them in many different ways. It also generates tests to help you study! The downside of this app is that it does not have all of the study features that the website has.
Dictionary: Another must have for a student! Whether on your phone or on your iPad it beats carrying around a dictionary haha! I love to read and I also love looking up words I don't know (nerd status!). This app has many features. My most favorite feature is that you can have it pronounce the word.
Myscriptcalculator: This app is like magic! All you do is write with your finger or a stylus a problem and it solves it for you. Talk about math heaven!
Dictation: This app records what you say and types it out for you! So if you have a bunch of notes just use this app.
Khan Academy: This is an app that offers videos to help you in math and science.
TopNotes: If you have a stylus this app can be fun. You can hand write note on this app!
Pearson eText: My math textbook is from Pearson so I got to get it on my iPad with this app!
Turnitin: Many of my professor use this. It is a place where you download your paper and it finds any thing that could be consider plagiarism. Its a great way to see whether your paper is in good shape!
PDF Reader: Many professors make power points to use when giving a lecture. If available I will download them to this app and I can view them. I can also highlight, add text, make notes, etc.
iBooks: You can purchase books that you would that to read.
iTunes U: A very awesome app if you like school and like to learn. You can download free college courses from here! So much stuff to learn about.
Pages: The typical word document app.
Keynote: Place to make "slide shows" or power points.
Numbers: I actually have not used this yet. Tell me what you use it for?
Loan Assist: Yep...the downside of being a college student. LOANS. This app is just if I want to pay off some loans or check the status.
Bible: I'm not particularly religious but religions fascinate me. I have this app because I am taking a course on the history of Early Christianity and Judaism.
Genius Scan: It is genius! Instead of shoving big books in a copying machine just use this! You take a picture of the page and it turns it into a scanned page.
Facebook: Social media website.
Pinterest: I love Pinterest. I get a lot of inspiration from here. What you do is find pictures of things that interest you and you create different boards that have all the pictures you like. Follow me! kirstenkismet
