- ToDo for iPad ($9.99): Syncs with iCal’s Tasks (ToDos) via WiFi, but not with iCal’s Task alarms; can set alarms within ToDo, focus on specific todos, create checklist; this is the only todo app I have found that syncs with iCal’s Tasks and can set alarms for todos.
- The Early Edition ($4.99): RSS feeds in newspaper format, This is my favorite RSS reader on my iPad. Easy to add URLs for RSS feeds.
- NotifyMe 2 Simple ($2.99, iPhone version): Set multiple alarms for classes, different sounds available, repeating alarms, and notes.
- Push My Reminders ($1.99) (and Lite version free): Can set multiple reminders, really nice snooze button that you can quickly change for length of time (5-minute intervals). I use this app as a timer to alert me to get up and walk around ever 15 to 20 minutes (I have a lower back injury).
- Dictionaries
- Dictionary.com (free): Dictionary with Thesaurus, nearly 1,000,000 words and definitions; no internet connection is needed; audio pronuciations.
- Dictionary? (free): Dictionary with Thesaurus, 285,000 words, synonyms, usage examples, etc

- Delivery Status ($4.99): Track packages for UPS, FedEx, DHL, USPS, and others.
- Chronicle for iPad ($1.99): Good for diary or any notes you want to password protect, can change font and font size, change background, change date, add photos, and export by email and to Google Docs.
- Lifecards - Postcards ($1.99): Nice app for making and sending e-cards with photos (photos in your Photos app), insert text and select font, color, size, and alignment.
- TeamViewer HD (free): This is a really nice app for accessing and controlling your Mac or PC or helping a friend/family member with their computer. Must install the desktop TeamViewer app (free) on each computer that you want to access (go to:http://www.teamviewer.com/download/index.aspx). With the desktop app installed on two different computers, you should be able to send files from one to the other, however, I have not tried this feature. To access someone’s computer on a different network, you must create free account at: https://wa103.teamviewer.com/register.aspx?state=1.
