Take you through the iPad

Workman must first sharpen his tools if he wants to be good at his deeds.

Whether the iPad is easy to use depends mainly on the APP and usage habits.

APP recommendation

First, let's take a look at the useful treasure apps in iPadOS.

A. Note-taking, learning, and office APP

1.Microsoft OneNote

A note-taking APP launched by a big brand, which supports synchronization across all platforms, has complete functions, rich fonts, and paper that can be infinitely large. It is the best alternative solution for paid note-taking APP.

2. Notability

The most popular note-taking APP is almost recommended dozens of times. Basically, every person who takes notes with an iPad has this APP.

Notability's recording function is one of its big selling points. At the same time, the pressure effect of writing with Apple Pencil is very close to that of paper, and the experience is excellent. Moreover, the typing function can still be used anywhere needed even after writing, which is highly praised!

3. GoodNotes

The note-taking APP that enjoys equal popularity with Notability also has similar functions, where the difference lies in the APP operation logic and style design.

But there are also some big differences.

For example, Notability has a recording function that GoodNotes does not.

GoodNotes can preview the outline when viewing PDF files, just like e-books, and this feature is not available in Notability.

Therefore, I suggest that you can choose Notability for taking notes, and if you want to read documents and answer more exercises, choose GoodNotes.

4. Chartistic

I think this is one of the most convenient tools for making tables, at least it has almost no learning cost. There are various forms of tables. Although it can't make too complicated tables, it is completely free and no in-app purchase!

B. Drawing and editing APP

1. Procreate

iPad drawing is also the only form of productivity that has reached a professional level. At present, iPad painters are gradually growing.

Procreate is the most professional drawing APP for iPad and even mobile. The brush function is extremely powerful. The initial brush can basically satisfy the use, and the drawing effect is comparable to the PS and SAI on the PC terminal.

2. MediBang Paint

MediBang is also a professional drawing APP, and it is especially suitable for cartoon creation and line drawing, but it is not suitable for coloring. When coloring, it can be exported to Procreate for coloring.

MediBang can draw long pictures in comic format, comes with a storyboard function, and has various stickers available.

The most conscientious thing is that such a professional APP can be used for free, which is very suitable as a substitute for Procreate.

3.LumaFusion

The price is a bit expensive, but as the most professional editing APP on the mobile terminal, it is very worthwhile to use it.

LumaFusion was originally designed to give professionals a rough cut on the set, and the interface is similar to PR.

Tips for using the iPad

After talking about the APP, let's take a look at the practical tips that many people don't know about the iPad. Some very well-known tips will not be repeated.

1. iPad calculation function

Many people may have discovered that the iPad does not have a built-in official calculator, and then was bombarded by various free calculator advertisements on the AppStore. However, in fact, the search bar on the iOS home screen has its own calculation function.

2. Browser preview function

It is not as convenient for iPadOS to switch windows on the browser like a PC, so it is very convenient to have a link preview function. We only need to long-press the link to preview the content in the link.

3. How to use other people's paid APPs

One way is to log in to someone else’s Apple account to download paid APPs, but APPs downloaded in this way cannot be updated.

Of course, it is also possible to have a full-featured app, and the method is to directly become the family member of the target.

Setting someone as Apple ID’s family member can share paid APPs and various paid services.

Practical accessories plan

Finally, let’s take a look at some useful but often overlooked accessories of the iPad.

1. Removable paper film

In order to improve the feeling of Apple Pencil, many small partners choose to stick a paper-like film on the iPad, but this leads to a significant reduction in the display effect.

In fact, it is not necessary, because there is a type of paper film that can be disassembled, magnetically attracted, which will not affect both writing and watching dramas.

2. Docking station

If it is an iPad with a USB-C interface, you can use the docking station to connect a variety of devices, which is essential for productivity.

Moreover, this docking station can also be used for various laptops and mobile phones that support the USB-C interface, which is still very cost-effective.

3.30W fast charge

Sometimes, does it feel that the standard 20W charger has a particularly slow charging speed?

Many people may not know that most versions of iPad support 30W fast charging, but the standard configuration is only 20W. Therefore, using some high-power Android phone chargers can also greatly increase the charging speed of the iPad.

Different groups of people have different understanding and positioning of the iPad. Regardless of whether it is before or after the purchase, you must manage your wallet, so as not to buy a bunch of software or hardware, but have nowhere to use them. For uncertain expenses, it is best to first find an alternative plan to determine whether you have this need!
