WorldCard HD iPad App

By on 02/10/2012 in Best iPad Apps, iPad 3

WorldCard HD is an app for iPad that was updated recently on the app store. The developer of this business card manager app is Penpower Inc. This iPad app allows you to use your iPad for capturing those stacks of paper business cards and import them into a customer management system. This is a great iPad app for business card scanning and management, especially for those of us who carry our iPads everywhere we go. How many new business cards to you have to manage each week? This iPad app comes with an advanced version of Optical Character Recognition technology which utilizes the iPad camera lens.

We like how WorldCard HD has designed easy-to-use interface that we were able to navigate around easily. Also, they’ve integrated a great search tool that allows finding business card information really quickly. Each business card is represented as a record in a table with standard attributes such as name, address, company name and more. Continue Reading →

Review: Textkraft

By on 01/29/2012 in Best Apps for iPad, Best iPad Apps, iPad 2 Apps

We found a cool text editor app for iPad this week from the German developer Infovole GimbH. This iPad app is called Textkraft and is a smart text processor app that we tested on our iPad 2 device. This best iPad app allows you to transform your iPad into typewriter for on-the-go work. You can compose just about any size of text content from a quick Facebook status update to a large legal document.

Textkraft app for iPad offers users both a complete work solution, as well as a smooth interface for writing quick grammatically correct bursts of text. As I write this blog review I’m using the Textkraft app and it is a joy to use and I especially like the spelling aid that quickly advises me.

The list of outstanding features of Textkraft include:  (screenshots and video demo after break) Continue Reading →

PDF Forms Exclusively for iPad

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 →

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 →
