Being retired has it's benefits. I have more time to have fun with my iPad2 and my iphone4. I research apps before I download and if possible watch them on video. I love helping my ipad and iPhone friends finding the best apps suited for their needs.

CheckPad - How Can You Do Without This One????

I found this nifty little app called check pad. At first I told myself I did not really need it. Taking a looking at my own scribbled up checkbook registered I decided I did indeed need check pad. It is for both the iPhone and iPad and the cost is minimal.

The entries are easy to input as well as the bank or banks names. You just simply toggle between them. Entering the check information is simple.

SlingNote - No Ordinary Note Taker

I seem to be a collector of sorts when it comes to notes and reminders. Over the course of several months I managed to collect a huge stock pile. Guess it's time to reveal my favorties and will share them with you.

Being a noteaholic I found Slingnote is no ordinary note taker. It has three differs apps in one. Very unusual one at that because you use your fingers to pinch, maneuver around the app between the note taker, the web and a calculator. You can have several web sites open to do your project.

4 Browsers

I found having multiple screens helps me with research when I do my review blogs. It might seem hard to look at several screens at the same time. Your eyes will scan them all individually and then you will be able to pick the one that looks most useful to your project. When I do my reviews I have three screens going, one for reviews already done for the app, one for pictures and one for writing up the blog on iphonelife.com. If you are taking an online class, for instance, you will be able to review a previous lesson that is incorporated into the current lesson. If you have two or more sites open then you can do research etc. then do the lesson. I use two screens, one to take an exam then a second to review.

BE Write update

Hello everyone, Well, since my last review on BE Write on 9-29-11 the app has been updated. I was in the middle of writing an essay and I need to do a word count. BE Write, being my all time favorite app, didn't have word count. Knowing the developers are very quick to response to requests or questions I sent off an email. Within less that 24 hours I got an answer. Lo and behold BE Write now has word count! It's getting better and better with each revision and I personally use it as my ONLY app for writing my blogs and reviews.
