Got my iPad2 this week. Logos was my #1 reason for buying it and was my first install.

Outside of Logos, what apps do you find most useful?

Helping people find seminary scholarships and church jobs.

    most-used apps on my part

    • drop box
    • nextag
    • kindle
    • discover (excellent wikipedia app)
    • friendly (Facebook)
    • perfect browser (has tabbed browsing with tabs running in parallel, find in page, force desktop web rendering as opposed to mobile, and more...but I understand atom browser or something like that has all this plus adblock. Also: I understand rooted ipads can have a different default browser selected)
    • evernote (major win)
    • flipboard
    • instapaper
    • sportscentral
    • amazon (makes sense since I have an amazon prime account)
    • iTim text (I use this because it's compatible with google voice and can use that number)

    I use splashtop which is a cheap but very effective remote access tool.  For about $2.99 i can access my laptop and use the full features of Logos.  This allows me to do reading and highlighting.  It works really well for me.

    LOL! Since Ryan said he already had that, I figured there was no need for repeat. But yes, I use that a lot too!

    Did you get the regular  PocketInformant or the HD? How is this better than using Microsoft's Outlook? Thanks.

    Must admit, I've been looking at the HD version of PI but been hesitant to stump up the dosh for it, despite using PI on my iPhone all the time. Just seems to grate having to find another £8 for the iPad version when I already have bought the iPhone version. But I would like it. I'm hoping there will be a discount when v2 is announced (futile, I know, but I just can't bite the bullet with this one yet.)

    I used a bunch of apps already mentioned but one i didn't see mentioned that I love is Flipboard.  Awesome app that allows you to follow RSS feeds and it makes it look like a magazine.  I follow a number of blogs (including logos) on my flipboard (I used to use Pulse but this is a million times nicer on the Ipad)

    Had an iPod Touch for 2 years. God a refurbished iPad 1 this week. Most valuable apps:

    • OliveTree Bible
    • Laridian Bible
    • PocketInformant Calendar
    • Kindle (Ignatius Study Bible)
    • Engadget
    • Documents to Go (mainly theological articles)

    Actually, I only have the free iPod Touch / Ipad version of Logos. Still deciding if I need what it offers.

    I will be posting some "newbie questions" soon. Grateful if when it goes up any of you can spare the time to answer. I will start a different thread.

    God Bless,

    Richard.

    For me it is simpler.  Cut and paste from Logos to PaperDesk works great.  I can type, draw, write notes with a stylus (or my finger) in PaperDesk.  I can save notebooks or email them to my laptop, or dropbox them.  I can record thoughts and attach them.

    Evernote may do all this equally well.  PaperDesk seems to me my needs. 

    However, I would be interested in what Evernote can do.

    Thank you, everyone!  I shall consult this thread when I next go online!

    I use Dropbox, Freebooks, Prayer Partner, PDF Notes.

    I have Skype and Kindle, but hardly use them at the moment.

    Next time I go online, I shall get Vyrson to read 3 Vyrso books I got on the iPad.  Do you know, Bonhoeffer at Amazon UK is tgwice the price of the same book at Amazon US, but Amazon US wouldn't sell it to me - so Logos/Vyrso got my trade!
