Five Best Free iPad Apps
Whether you are a new iPad user or are very familiar with your tablet, there are five very good apps that we think every iDevice owner should own. Some of these apps have been around for a while, but are still essential. Thankfully, most have been newly redesigned. Perhaps the best thing about the apps in this AppList is that they are all free, so you can enjoy downloading them without hesitation.
AccuWeather - Weather for Life for iPad
When you wake up and grab your iPad, the first thing you may want to do is check the weather. After all, knowing what the elements have in store for you will allow you to efficiently plan your entire day. AccuWeather - Weather for Life for iPad has a gorgeous user interface, making it pleasurable to look at while having your morning coffee or tea. The app is easy to read through and navigate while featuring extremely accurate weather information for over 2.7 million locations. Some of the features provided include severe weather alerts via push notifications, customizable weather conditions in or outside of the USA, humidity, visibility, wind speed, allergen specifics that could affect how you will function outdoors, and much more. The app is also interactive with Apple Maps. It has iCloud synchronization, news and weather videos (many of which are available in English or Spanish), and social media sharing capabilities. AccuWeather is a must for those wanting a free, full-featured weather app for the iPad.
USA TODAY for iPad
Once your day is planned according to the weather, head on over to USA TODAY for iPad for your news fix. The print is easy to read and there is a handy side bar for different section or types of news to view. Whether it is entertainment, sports, money, world, or tech-related news you want to keep up to date with, you will find it all within USA TODAY. If you are reading a story and don't have time to finish it, the app allows you to save your article and continue reading later. A gallery of photos and videos is also available for your perusing pleasure if you are interested in visually interacting with the day's news. You are also able to choose from a list or a grid, depending on how you prefer to view headlines. If you didn't have time to check AccuWeather for your forecast, USA TODAY for iPad has support for that as well.
Skype for iPad
Now that you are prepared for the weather and know what the latest news is, stay connected with those you love by using Skype for iPad.
