Most of everyone who owns an iOS device enjoys the photo capture and storage capabilities. There are plenty of apps that offer different ways of interfacing with your camera roll and we’ve found a very unique and stylish one called 3D Photo Ring HD. This iPad app transforms your iPad tablet into a 3D photo viewer that is very unique and stylish. 3D Photo Ring HD iPad App offers a spellbinding interface that allows you to keep track of hundreds of photos with a swipe.

Admittedly, one of the mundane tasks associated with the camera roll on my iPad is searching for photos. With 3D Photo Ring HD it turns this task into a speedy and  fun task.  The onboard color sorting technology in this best iPad app allows you to save time hunting a specific photo. I even found it kind of hypnotic just playing with the stylish movement of the photo ring. This app for iPad also offers an interactive 3D slideshow presentation of your photos. According to the developer this innovative 3D photo arrangement and color-based organization feature is faster than 2D since it speeds up the visual search from the human eye.

By on 01/26/2012 in Best Apps for iPad, Best iPad Apps, iPad Apps Best, iPad Best Apps

In this review we’re taking a look at the app that runs exclusively on your iPad 1 and iPad 2. It is called PDF Forms from the developer Dar-Soft. PDF Forms is an important business tool for everyone who works with PDF files on their iPad. There are plenty of PDF readers that allow annotation on the app store today. What is different about PDF Forms is that it not only has all the bells and whistles that accompany most PDF readers but we really like the ability to add signatures to your converted PDFs.

If you are working with contracts and documents it is important to be able to annotate and markup specific lines for revision or discussion. But what I’m finding useful is being able to merge my signature onto contracts using the PDF Forms iPad app. This app is aimed at easy signing of documents, contracts, and legal notices right on your iPad 2 device. Here is how it works. Simply save a copy of your signature image and place it into signature area of the PDF document you are working with. PDF Forms allows you to adjust and resize your signature image by easily dragging the signature frame to the exact needed location on the form.  Continue Reading →

By on 01/20/2012 in cool ipad apps, iPad Apps-Games, iPad Review, new ipad apps

The eye catching iTunes store icon of Pollinator HD is what grabbed my attention while perusing the educational games iPad apps. I downloaded this graphically pleasing app and promptly and checked it out on my iPad 2 tablet The start page was lovely, exciting and and eye-catching.

The illustrations are really well done and the game play for children is inviting and easy to navigate in this touch-based iPad app. My 5 year old son plays a lot on my iPad so it is interesting to see what apps he is drawn towards. The Pollinator HD was a natural fit for him developmentally as he intuitively understood the flow of play. It’s pretty simple for your child to get started in this app as your finger draws the desired path for Buzz the Bee to be directed toward the flowers. You can then direct them back to their hive with the same touch guide. My son also really enjoyed squashing the dragonflies just but touching them with your finger. Continue Reading →

Review: The Pete and Sneakers Bath and Bedtime Show

By on 01/18/2012 in Best iPad Apps, iPad Apps, iPad Apps-Entertainment, iPad Best Apps, new ipad apps

We found a delightful and fun iPad app for children called Pete and Sneakers Bath and Bedtime Show. The developer and author of this interactive book app for children is Erin Davis. Erin is clearly a mother who understands what children need and enjoy with this well thought-out iPad app. I think you and your young children will love these two interesting penguins who are not short on personality. The graphics are eye-popping and the split-screen layout is great for  two children to interact with.

If you think about it, in a child’s life bedtime and bath time are big events for the day. The author has brilliantly brought an important message to life with the Pete and Sneakers characters. These cute penguins encourage children to understand their own individuality and uniqueness and how similar tasks can be performed in different ways. For example, Pete prefers to approach basic bath and bedtime tasks more conservatively, while Sneakers’ routine is free-spirited and often just wacky. Pete and Sneakers embrace their differences while still having fun together which is such a positive lesson.  Continue Reading →
