iCab Mobile

Safari is a great browser, but its main problem is the update speed. While third-party browser developers update applications regularly and actively respond to user comments and concerns, Apple updates Safari only with the release of new iOS - so you have to wait years for the introduction of some functions and bug fixes. In addition, functionality Safari and most others mobile browsers significantly reduced.

Considering that the new iPad Pro is more powerful than some MacBooks, it's great for web surfing. The browser will help you use the tablet's capabilities to the fullest. iCab Mobile. It is as close as possible to desktop browsers. Here you will find an interface a la Chrome, convenient tab management, download manager and much more.

This allows you not to be distracted and concentrate on your work.

This is an excellent service for delayed reading, allowing you to save an article on one device so that you can read it later on another.

You can synchronize up to 60 MB of data per month, while the size of one note should not exceed 25 MB. Of course, this will not be enough for video synchronization, but for articles and images it is quite enough.

Teams

The new iPad Pros come with iOS 12 on board. And one of the coolest features of iOS 12 was Teams for Siri. They allow you to launch an entire chain of tasks with one word or phrase. Teams compatible with . Their number is constantly growing and already includes Carrot Weather, Streaks, Overcast, Trello and other programs.

Google Docs, Sheets and Slides

Google Docs is available for iPad and yes, it's hardly the best app text editor. However, it fulfills its stated functions, is regularly updated and supported by developers. And in some cases, when using Google products for work is mandatory, but you don’t have a computer at hand, this can save you time and nerves.

The same can be said about the search giant's two other office apps. They are free, great for collaborating with documents, and are not very different in functionality from their desktop and browser versions. Considering that the new iPad Pro is equipped with a USB-C connector, you will be able to display your presentations on big screen without Apple TV and adapters.

Download Google Sheets in the App Store

Representatives Apple they assure us that the iPad Pro is capable of completely replacing a desktop computer or laptop. But we are sure: this tablet will be even more a worthy tool for work, if you fill it with worthwhile applications.

We decided not to include the apps that come to mind first on this list. But we are ready to offer you those programs that perform well in their work.

GoodNotes 4

This app allows you to recognize handwritten notes using the Apple Pencil. Due to the fact that the program understands handwritten text, a search function within the document text is also available.

Document scanner

To use the camera on iPad Pro, you need to: full program. In particular, in order to scan documents. This application can recognize text in scanned files and search by keyword.

Before the iPad Pro entered the market, the manufacturer opened a section with applications for this device in its company store. Of course, they were not written specifically for this gadget. But they work very effectively on this tablet model.

In the excellent applications section, the user will find several sub-items in which the software is divided into groups. For example, there is a subsection where applications that interact with a pencil are collected. They look great on the large display and offer 100% support for multitasking options.

The store also opened a section of amazing games. It contains products that give the user a vivid impression thanks to the large display of the new device and improved speakers.

Thus, the Apple company, long before the release of the new product, created for users effective system choosing software based on different criteria. We will use all this in this article when we look at applications for the iPad Pro.

But even if you don’t have this particular tablet model, it’s worth familiarizing yourself with the proposed material. All software, the characteristics of which are given below, will work perfectly on other versions of devices.

Apple developers are confident that the Tablet Pro is a revolutionary PC in the modern world. Judging by statements on the company’s online resource, its representatives are confident that this iPad can easily replace a laptop for many users.

Together with the latest presentations of tablets, the Apple company presented an external keyboard and an electronic pen. This will especially appeal to those users who often work with a pen and design.

Below is a list of particularly popular software for the Pro tablet model that supports its functionality and is available in the Apple store. Of course, this is just a modest part of everything that is presented there. It’s better to go in yourself and choose the appropriate programs. So, let's begin.

You will have to buy this software, but its price is low - only about 350 rubles. Its functions are necessary for drawing on a tablet. Moreover, by the time the model in question was released, the developers worked hard and improved the program.

Now it contains support for all the multitasking options of the ninth operating system, an interface modified for a large display, a special mode for working with a pencil, and much more. Suitable for both ordinary users who love drawing and professionals in this field.

Coda 2

The cost of this software is slightly higher - about 600 rubles, but it is also affordable. There are similar programs for iPhones. Previously, they were the main development tool due to their rich functionality.

Now it has become possible to work on your own website on the Pro model, and specifically on the version with a huge display. Here the result will be visible in all its glory. Split View support alone, which helps the user observe all the changes made on the resource, costs a lot.

Umake

This software comes in 2 variations - free and paid (about 1000 rubles per month). Of course, today the tablet model in question cannot replace a PC or laptop; the named application does big step towards this.

This is worthy software that has made a revolution, because it allows you to create 3D models of the highest quality. Even the most inexperienced user who has never done modeling before can start working with it. A detailed manual and recommendations will help you understand this interesting, but not very simple matter. Of course, you won’t become an ace, but you will learn the basics.

Paper 3

A completely free application that is in the public domain. Together with it, the tablet acquires all the functions of a notepad. You can save any notes, signs, sketches, or anything else in the element.

The latest version of the software was released with 100% support for the Pro tablet. Now it is subject to mandatory loading into the device, which occurs automatically.

Adobe Comp

The product is distributed free of charge or by subscription. The developer has optimized all of its programs for the Pro tablet model. And each of them is interesting in its own way.

There is a tool that allows the user to easily and quickly translate their ideas into sketches. Apple Support Pencil helps you do all your work with maximum precision. After the process is completed, in just a few clicks you can move the created element to many photo editors and change it.

Dungeon of the Endless

And this application is created for passionate gamers. A game with an adventure twist, the plot of which revolves around the crew of a spaceship that crashed over an unfamiliar planet.

The user controls a squad of fighters and tries to pull prisoners from ornate underground tunnels to the surface. To this end, you will need to get equipment and other resources, carry out various work with party members, while at the same time fighting off negatively inclined inhabitants of the dungeon, and communicating with the natives of the planet Auriga. By the way, the latter are quite harmless creatures.

There's no doubt that the Apple Pencil is an impressive design and digital art tool, but to get the most out of it, you need the right iPad Pro apps—ones that really take advantage of its power and flexibility.

Luckily, as this list shows, there's already a strong roster of iPad Pro apps from companies large and small that really let the Pencil shine. All you need is talent! (And Apple Pencil). iPad Pro.)

Here are 13 great apps that make the most of the Apple Pencil—and with iOS 12 around the corner, they're sure to be better than ever.

01.

Affinity Designer for iPad is quickly becoming the new tool for designers and artists on the go

  • Requirements: iOS 11.0 or later
  • Price:$19.99 / £19.99

Serif's latest offering, Affinity Designer for iPad is quickly becoming the new ool outlet for designers and artists on the go. And it comes with full support for Apple Pencil's drawing capabilities in terms of precision, pressure sensitivity, and tilt functions.

It includes all the essential tools for creating on the go, with a very iPad-friendly interface. Affordable one-off cost under $20/£20, you'll be hard pressed to beat iPad app Pro to improve quality and price - for busy listings.

02. Adobe Illustrator Draw

Adobe's drawing app for iPad takes you straight to the top of the class

  • Requirements: iOS 11.0 or later
  • Price: For free

As designers, you'll be well aware of the talent offered in Adobe Illustrator CC, but you may not be familiar with Illustrator Attract. Illustrator Draw is more than just a vector digital sketchbook - this drawing app for your iPad has all the popular and most useful features Ai wrapped in a simple user interface designed for quick creation ideas and concepts when you are at

Features include simple vector drawing tools with separate drawing and photography layers, and the ability to sync with Creative Cloud. With this feature, you can also download Adobe Illustrator-compatible files and work with them on iPad using your Apple Pencil.

The application allows you to draw perfectly straight lines and geometric shapes, rename layers and use shapes from Adobe Capture CC. Improved perspective grid also means you can display shapes in the perspective plane. All told, this is an essential app for iPad-owning Ai users.

03. Autodesk SketchBook

Autodesk 3D specialists have created an application for drawing in Sketchbook

  • Requirements: iOS 10.0 or later
  • Price: For free

Autodesk may be known mainly for pro-spec 3D applications like 3ds Max and Maya, but in Sketchbook it has a powerful sketching app with an incredibly natural drawing experience - something that excels in exploitation the latest technology ProMotion from the iPad Pro and, of course, the Apple Pencil.

With 170 custom brushes, full PSD layer and blending support, and a toggle predictive stroke that transforms your drawn lines and shapes into crisp, precise shapes, Sketchbook is probably the best free application for drawing - and incredibly it doesn't cost a penny or an in-app purchase.

04. Procreate

Procreate is the king of natural media apps on the iPad

  • Requirements: iOS 11.1 or later
  • Price:$9.99 / £9.99

It's the king of natural media apps on the iPad, and it's completely transformed with the addition of Pencil. Sure, you can use your finger along with it, a simple stylus, or even one of the increasingly complex and expensive third-party styluses from the likes of Adonit, but none of them give you the fluidity and similar experience that the Apple Pencil does.

This is partly due to the thin tip of the Pencil, partly to the low latency and sampling rate with double speed, and partly because the finger peeling is almost flawless. But all that technical stuff just fades into the background when you're faced with the joy of sketching with a 6B pencil, turning it flat to block in large areas of shadow or dropping colors.

The last major release was Procreate 4, which featured a major technology overhaul as well as many improvements including the introduction of wet paint and an intuitive, redesigned menu. Read our full Procreate 4 review.

05.

  • Requirements: iOS 10.3 or later
  • Price:$19.99 / £19.99

Another one from the series, Affinity Photo is a fantastic alternative to Photoshop on Mac computers and Windows with a built-in set of tools, amazing performance and a one-time price instead of subscription fee, as well as its version of the iPad, used by Apple to show off the iPad Pro and Pencil - is equally impressive.

Although it is compatible with earlier iPad models When you pair it with an iPad Pro and Pencil, Affinity Photo really comes to life. Already designed to make the most of the iPad's hardware and touch features, on the iPad Pro it's also built to take full advantage of the sensitivity and angle of the Pencil.

It's built for a professional workflow with support for raw and PSD files, as well as full cross-platform performance and file compatibility in case you feel the need to add some ultimate polish to your desktop. But the thing is, you probably won't need it.

05. Adobe Comp CC

code-block code-block-2 ai-viewport-1 ai-viewport-2" style="margin: 8px 0; clear: both;">">

iPad is one of Apple's major technological achievements. Tablet PC, for which there is no worthy alternative yet. What makes a device perfect is not only its excellent hardware (excellent IPS screen, battery that lasts 10 hours of video viewing, powerful dual-core processor), but also wonderful software. Very often on forums and social networks you can come across the question “I bought an iPad, what should I install?”. Below you will find useful applications for iPad, which we recommend. The list is not complete, add your own suggestions.

Reading news

My main way of using the iPad is to read the news. There are a little more than enough RSS clients (both traditional and not so traditional) in the Eppstor. And they all look alike. Here's what I chose:

In my opinion, this is the best RSS reader right now. It seamlessly integrates with Google Reader, synchronizes read and unread news, supports almost all the functionality of Google Reader (you can share articles, mark them with a star, etc., but does not allow you to unsubscribe from the RSS feed from your iPad), allows you to save long and especially valuable texts in Instapaper for delayed reading. It is possible to send a link to Delicious, email and other services. Reeder is clear evidence that Google is not very good with user interfaces: when you read news in Reeder, you read 2-3 times more notes compared to reading through the web interface. [Review | Download ($4.99)]

. Flipboard is a colorful magazine for iPad. You indicate your Twitter and Facebook data, the program “sucks up” all the links that your friends/friends/followers publish and forms a damn attractive magazine from these links. Flipboard has grown a lot lately. Here are the “channels” of publishers: best newspapers around the world they give out content in already formatted form. Google Reader support has appeared: now you can read RSS in the form of a magazine. [Review | Download for free)]

Zite. The ambitious startup has set itself a difficult task: to offer the reader only those articles that are personally interesting to him. Zite closely tracks what you read and like. A lot of parameters are taken into account: the topics you prefer, your activity on social networks. Taking these “signals” into account, Zite “lays out” the magazine for you. If you are a reader of Gizmodo, Engadger, Lifehacker, then you have probably noticed that every day blogs write about the same thing. As a result, you have to read one news item several times. Zite actually solved this problem. Minus of Zite - it does not support Russian. [Review | Download for free)]

Everyone faces the problem of lack of time. It happens that in the middle of the working day they send a link to an interesting but long article that you cannot read now. In this case, it is better to add it to the ReadItLater service (you can do this in one click). ReadItLater is not the only such service. Many people use Instapaper. The following points can be attributed in favor of ReadItLater: the presence of paid version(Instapaper developer removed the free version from the App Store), lower cost of the paid version ($2.99 ​​versus $4.99), the ability to save multi-page articles (Instapaper does not do this for fundamental reasons), brighter prospects (ReadItLater received funding and is forming a stellar team of programmers). [ | ($2.99)]

The second most popular pattern of using an iPad is communicating with friends. Everything here is quite simple and predictable:

Official Facebook apps for iPad still not available. So the choice comes down to two things. Or use a browser, or one of the unofficial clients. Friendly is one of the most successful applications for active users Facebook. The program offers basic features: reading news feeds, changing status, uploading photos from iPad to a social network, chat. Friendly is available in two versions - paid ($0.99) and free. The latter displays advertising. [ | ]

Twitter. Twitter is a very popular microblogging service and social network. There are many clients created to work with it. The official application flaunts an interesting interface; third-party developments offer other features. For example, Echofon Pro ($4.99) automatically syncs unread messages between various devices(iPad, iPhone, Mac - you'll never read the same tweet twice).

IMO.im. Exchange clients instant messages a lot. I use different ones, I don’t have any strong preferences. Lately I’ve been launching IMO.im more often. This messenger supports not only MSN, Jabber/GoogleTalk, Skype, Facebook, ICQ, but even the exotic Steam (communication with gamers) and the popular VKontakte in Russia. [Download for free)]

Skype - official client to the Internet telephony service of the same name. Quite limited in possibilities, but we are happy with this. You can now make calls and chat from your iPad. [Review | Download for free)]

Classmates. Odnoklassniki also has an official iPad application. However, it is far from ideal. We can only hope that the developers will develop the program. [Download for free)]

Reading books and magazines

I mainly use the standard Apple e-reader to read books. I both download books (already immediately in epub) and buy them. The Apple iBookstore is not open in Russia yet, so I use American accounts (I top up my account with Gift cards). [Download for free)]

Unfortunately, the iBooks Store library is weaker than Amazon's. Sometimes I buy books there too. The coolest thing is that the book is on your iPad within a minute after purchase. This is how e-books compare favorably with paper books (hello, Russian Post!). [Download for free)]

Zinio. Client to the service of the same name. Allows you to buy/subscribe to glossy magazines. I haven’t used it lately, but I included it in the selection - the service is useful. [Download for free)]

Education

The iPad is great for self-education. I use the following applications:

TED. TED (which stands for Technology Entertainment and Design) is the most prominent example of education, a form of entertainment that seeks to educate and educate. Among the speakers at the TED conference are Nobel laureates, famous politicians, and stars. They talk about common problems, offer their solutions. Many people pay thousands of dollars to listen to TED lectures. However, over time, the videos are posted online for free. The official TED for iPad app offers access to a huge archive. You can even download the video in advance so you can watch it on the go, for example. It's also worth paying attention to the TED+SUB app. This program allows you to watch videos with subtitles.

Star Walk And Solar Walk. The Novosibirsk company VITO Technology is developing electronic “space encyclopedias”. The Star Walk program is a digital planetarium. This is the best astronomy reference book available for iPad. Solar Walk is dedicated to the planets solar system. Both programs are executed on high level. For their developments, the Novosibirsk team even won Apple Design Award. [Star Walk ($4.99) | Solar Walk ($2.99)]

MoMA AB EX NY. I'm far from art (I'm not at all proud of it), but I downloaded the application. I wanted to see what a program produced by one of the leading museums in the world looks like. MoMA offers access to a small portion of its collection of works by abstract expressionist artists. Photographs of the paintings are given in high resolution. You can “zoom in” by looking at the details. Many paintings are provided with audio commentary by the museum curator. There are several videos that explain the basics of art, drawing techniques, and explain basic terms. [Download for free)]

As a child, we don’t like chemistry, preferring physics. However, if I had such an application then, everything could have turned out differently. The Elements is a reimagined periodic table of the elements. Interactive textbook about chemical elements. Colorful illustrations and a huge amount of valuable information fade somewhat against the background of the fact that there is no Russian language. [Download ($13.99]

You can read Wikipedia, of course, without any applications. But from an aesthetic point of view, Wikipedia articles do not look very good. All these endless footnotes are useful to researchers. And when you just want to read articles from the encyclopedia, they are of little use. Articles turns Wiki into an encyclopedia that's fun to read. The application once won the Apple Design Award, and deservedly so. [Download ($4.99)]

Skeleton System Pro II. The company 3D4Medical produces applications that help better understand the human structure. This company's programs use 3D visualization. As a result, you can examine every organ, every vertebra. [Download ($19.99)]

Job

A simple application for writing texts. The main feature is synchronizing documents between devices using the Dropbox service. Support for the Russian language and its free nature make the program even more attractive. [Download for free)]

iWork. For those who need more text editing capabilities and who need document design tools, it is worth paying attention to the iWork application suite. Numbers, Keynote, and Pages are available on the App Store for $10 per app. [Numbers | Pages | Keynote]

For iPad/Wunderlist. We cannot ignore the topic of task managers. There are many of them for iPad. The most advanced, in my opinion, is Omnifocus. The main advantage of the application is the Forecast mode, which shows your employment for the coming week. Parting with $40 for a task manager is not easy. As free alternative We can recommend Wunderlist, which has versions for iPad, iPhone, OS X, Windows and Android (note the presence of cloud synchronization). [ ($39.99) | Wunderlist (free)]

Evernote has a pretty good iPad version. You can make text and audio notes, all data is synchronized between different devices. [Download for free)]

Watch video

OPlayer HD. When watching videos on an iPad, things are not entirely simple. If you want to watch a video that is not encoded in H.264, then the files will have to be re-encoded. But there is a second option - use a player on the iPad that understands different file formats and codecs. There are really a lot of players in the App Store that promise to play absolutely everything. Most of them either have a monstrous interface (a real disaster) or lack some important functionality. As a result, if you need to upload a video file with one track and no subtitles to your iPad, then you should pay attention to Azul ($1.99). You won't waste time recoding. If it's important to you to be able to switch between tracks and subtitles on the fly, then OPlayer HD ($4.99) is worth purchasing.

Air Video. If your computer (it doesn’t matter, Mac or PC) is constantly running, then you can stream video from it directly to your iPad. This is convenient because you don’t need to convert the video. Let's say you can watch the new episode of The Big Bang Theory over breakfast. You can organize such a broadcast using Air Video. The program is installed on your computer and iPad. Eat free version. Very convenient application. [Air Video FREE | Air Video]

IMDb for iPad. I love cinema, I rate the films I watch on IMDb, there is also a watchlist - a list of films that I would like to watch. The IMDb app is one of the reasons to love the service. Simple, convenient, functional, free. [
