Best iPad Apps

Here are our favorite (the best) iPad Apps (in order of the amount of time we spend using them):

If you’re interested in iPad Games, take a look at this list.

• OmniFocus – The iPad specific version of this game changing productivity app is everything we hoped it would be.
• Simplenote – Making the notes that matter and making them available wherever you might be (this is an app that comes with iPhone version for easy syncing back and forth.
• LogMeIn Ignition – Our remote access client of choice.  Easy to use, no monthly service and a Universal App.  Once you purchase this, you can run as many computers as you want from both your iPhone and iPad.
• 1Password Pro – Universal app for 1Password (iPhone/iPad) version – now with Dropbox Sync.  Awesome password solution.
• Reeder – Best RSS reader.  Integration with Google Reader.
• Instapaper – Words can’t describe what a game changer this one is. Quick and easy parsing and selecting of the articles that you want to read – later – without the ads and annoying formatting.
• Keynote – I haven’t done a presentation on a laptop since I bought this app.
• OmniGraffle – Create a quick (and gorgeous looking) diagram or chart in seconds with this one. We use it at Colligan.com to map out all of our processes.
• Dropbox – This is the files in the cloud solution for everyone.  Most app builders are building integration with DropBox and, well, we love it.  Also a Universal app with a great iPhone version.
• Evernote – Don’t forget anything.  Hard to explain.  Universal app with iPhone and desktop versions (Mac and PC).  Free for the basic stuff.
