ABC Player: Although I wish the video quality were a tad bit better, this app is great. We love to watch WipeOut so if we miss our weekly dose, we can go straight to the iPad and watch it there. Romney also loves to watch Ugly Betty. There is a con with this app: the shows that are available only have a few episodes you can watch and they sometimes change up what shows they have available to watch, so today you might get a few episodes of your favorite show but tomorrow that show may no longer be offered. Still, an entertaining app for the iPad.
TapTap Radiation: Anyone who loves Guitar Hero or Rock Band will find some entertainment out of the Tap Tap apps for both iPhone. This one's specifically for the iPad and it's a lot of fun.
Betty Crocker Cookbook: What can I say? I love to cook!!! Okay, honestly, I don't like cooking and wish I never had to do it again. So this is actually one of Romney's favorite apps. Quite convenient when we're wondering what to make for dinner or for creating a shopping list before going to the grocery store so we make sure we have all the ingredients we need.
We Farm/We Rule: Since these games are pretty much the same thing, I'll clump them together as one game. I'm not sure why, but these games can be highly addictive. You build a farm or kingdom and accumulate money and experience points that allow you to enlarge your land and build new buildings or increase your farming capacities. I have several of Romney's cousins that I play with as I visit their farms or kingdoms to see how they are progressing and to submit an order from one of their businesses. It's all done in real time so I can place an order for a bag of grain. I then leave the app and when the designated amount of hours have passed, I can return and collect the bag of grain from my friend. They get money and experience points and I do as well. It's a time drainer but one I can't seem to stop playing.
MaxJournal: I'm not really sure why I wanted a journal app on the iPad. It's just such a convenient size and easy to take with you anywhere you go. I keep a journal and write in it once a week fairly regularly. I have to remember to take with me when we go on vacation. With the iPad, I'll always have a journal with me. I've been experimenting with taking notes with it as well since I like how it dates it for me. So far, it's only okay for that as there is no way to format the text for bolding, underlining, etc. But I'm still loving the format of the entries, almost like a calendar. Plus, I can always decide to export it via email as a pdf and make sure I don't lose what I've written so far.
Again, the list is too long, but here's a few more that I won't bother writing anything about. Check them out.
