The brilliance of Apple’s iPad is that you can use it to do so many things, all while being able to easily bring it with you wherever you go. Whether you have aniPad Mini, a regular iPad, or aniPad Pro, Apple’s tablets are ideal to carry with you for presentations, work trips, or even to lie in bed with and watch YouTube. The brilliant Liquid Retina display (or OLED screen if you’re using the iPad Pro) makes the colors on anything pop and the interactive touchscreen allows for precise movements.
I’ve used iPads for both personal and professional purposes and have found that there arecertain appsthat help keep me on track and organized. Below are some of my favorite productivity-focused iPad apps.
