What are your must have apps for iPad?


Hello HN, I recently bought an iPad Air for taking notes and creative work in general.

I would love to know what are your must have apps for iPad

If you have an Apple Pencil, I highly recommend “Concepts” [0]

I use it for general software design/planning like UI wireframes, flowcharts and various other things

[0] https://concepts.app

Goodreader is an excellent PDF repository and reader if you have a large library (I’m a TTRPG gamer) although you can get by with iBooks.

I find Google Drive and Google Docs indispensable, but Notability is also excellent. The built in notes app is surprisingly capable though, so you might as well check it out.

I use GoodNotes for all of my note taking and non-artistic sketching. Syncs with my iPhone and Mac, so it’s easy to have them everywhere.

Panels. Good reader app for DRM-free comic books. Octal for Hacker News content. Discord. Procreate if you’re an artist. Streaming apps.
