I&#8217;ve bought a few apps that I&#8217;ve later regretted.  In this post I&#8217;ll list the top five iPad apps, other than Twitter apps, that I love using on the iPad.  I&#8217;m always looking for new apps to try out, if you have any suggestions, please feel free to list them in the comments sections.<\/p>\n<p>Autodesk SketchBook Pro &#8211; My go to app for drawing a quick sketch for an idea, logo, or design is the Autodesk SketchBook Pro.  It&#8217;s easy to use, has a nice selection of different brushes and patterns.  One of my favorite features is the mirror, drawing one a line will produce a mirrored image of that line.  I also like that the produced images can easily be exported at a high resolution.  SketchBook Pro also supports multiple layers.  There are few features I would like to add to this app.  I&#8217;ve used images generated from this app in my Tumblr on many occasions.<\/p>\n<p>Penultimate &#8211; Another favorite sketch app is Penultimate.  This sketch app is a lot simpler and easier to use.  Penultimate only has three pen widths and six colors to choose so I used this for rough sketches for ideas.  The look of Penultimate feels like a Molskine notepad.  Penultimate allows you to have multiple notebooks, each for a different project.  You can export a page as an image or a notebook as a PDF document.<\/p>\n<p>Amazon Kindle &#8211; I&#8217;ve had a Kindle since it was originally released and I have a lot of notes, highlights, and bookmarks for the Kindle ebooks that I&#8217;ve read.  Even though I have a Kindle, the most common way I read Kindle books is through my iPad via the Kindle for iPad application.<\/p>\n<p>Adobe PS Express &#8211; The Adobe PS Express is my favorite app when it comes to cropping pictures on the iPad.  PS Express comes with a few commonly used photo manipulations such as cropping, straightening, rotating, and flipping images.    It also has a predefined set of borders and filters to apply on your photos or image files.<\/p>\n<p>Strip Design &#8211; Strip Design is a very simple iPhone and iPad app that allows you to create comic strip like panels.  You can create a strip of one, two, three, or four panels.  In each panel you can drop a different image.  You can also add thought balloons and different stickers such as crazy looking mustaches or action effects.  <\/p>\n<p>Dragon Dictation &#8211; Dragon Dictation helps to transcribe to text what you say.  This is really useful to record a thought and have it transcribed to text quickly.  Dragon has good recognition, at least it has worked for me.  I used Dragon Dictation when I want to jot down a idea quickly, then I emailed me the dictated text for final editing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s really hard to find really great iPad apps from the hundreds of thousands of apps available from the Apple iTunes appstore.
