Many of us are able to do our work entirely on an iPad thanks to its fantastic selection of apps. There are apps that let you edit video, control your computer (and even use its screens as another display), create music, code and much more. No matter the type of work you do or the sector in which you’re employed, if you’re armed with an iPad and a Bluetooth keyboard, then these apps should give you everything you need to get down to business.

Best Apps For Ipad Air 2019
- Procreate
If you’ve bought the iPad along with the Apple Pencil, you should spend 10 dollars more on Procreate. It’s an app that’s designed for professionals but anyone can use it. Just doodle around for a while and you’ll start to get a hang of it. Follow the tutorials on YouTube and you can learn illustration, drawing and even calligraphy in the app itself.
Download: Procreate ($9.99)
- Pixelmator
Pixelmator is a $5 image editing and manipulation app. It has components of a graphic design app built-in. But what Pixelmator is famous for is image editing. You get a versatile toolset for editing images, similar to what you see in Photoshop. But they’re fast and easy to use.
Download: Pixelmator ($4.99)
- LumaFusion
LumaFusion is the only professional video editing app on the iPad and really, it’s more than what most users need. You can do 4K live editing, along with multi-track editing for both video and audio. The standard features of transition effects, text slides, background music, and export presets are all available.

- iCab Mobile
Best Apps iPad Pro 2018 1
iCab Mobile is the browser designed for professional users. It’s the only iPad browser that supports extensions. They’re called modules and while only a couple of dozen modules are available, they negate the need of visiting multiple websites. Plus, it has a much better tab management feature and comes with a stellar dark mode (that works on websites as well as the UI).
Download: iCab Mobile ($1.99)

- Good Notes 5
Good Notes 5 has been recently redesigned and modernized for the new iPad. It is now the ultimate notetaking app for the iPad. It fixes the major issues that Good Notes 4 had. You can now take continuous scrolling notes using Good Notes, making it much easier to use. You can annotate text, export as PDF or image, doodle and draw and a lot more.
Download: Good Notes 5 ($7.99)
- iA Writer
iA Writer
iA Writer is the most polished Markdown writing environment on the iPad. The dark theme looks especially gorgeous. The app is minimal, without any formatting bar in the UI. Though, you’ll see formatting options above the keyboard. You can sync documents using Dropbox or iCloud Drive.
Download: iA Writer ($8.99)
- Shortcuts
Shortcuts is Apple’s own user automation app for iOS 12. The new iPads are mighty powerful. But the iOS software still keeps the hardware down. Using Shortcuts, you can create some automation workflows that will help you do things that apps in the App Store just won’t. You can do some really cool things just by importing Shortcuts made by the community. If you want to get your hands dirty, you can start creating your own Shortcuts as well.

Of course, no iPad would be complete without Apple’s suite of productivity apps. With Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, you can create and edit the best files and documents around. And, if you are sharing your work with Office users, no problem — iWork is compatible with Microsoft’s counterparts.

Microsoft’s Office line of productivity apps are similar to Apple’s iWork but are better for those still more comfortable with Microsoft’s design. You can view, edit, and create documents on your iPad with these free apps, but with an Office 365 subscription, you’ll get some really nice extras, like 1TB of OneDrive storage, Skype calls from phones, an Outlook.com email account, and more. If you prefer Microsoft to Apple, you’ll want to download these best iPad apps on your new iPad right away.

You’ll be hard-pressed to find anyone who thinks that Apple’s own Calendar app is one of the best iPads apps, but Fantastical 2 is practically the polar opposite. It’s an incredibly robust app for keeping track of your daily events and keeping track of your reminders. There are three different views, to show you your days, weeks, and months at a glance. Plus the sidebar keeps you on schedule with your events and reminders. That’s right. Fantastical also connects to your Reminders app, so if you’ve set a task to grab some milk on the way home from the store today, it’ll show up in Fantastical.

I discovered shortly after I started using Mint that it automatically creates a budget for you. After you connect your credit cards and bank accounts, the app automatically creates a budget based on average spending habits. You can increase or decrease the maximum for each budget and add or remove categories. Income and expenses are automatically added when you make purchases with your credit or bank cards. Cash transactions must be manually added.
If you don’t really need a budget, but like having one, just to see how you are doing, use Mint for the finance tracking and take advantage of the budgeting feature.

YNAB is a fantastic app to have on-hand for really understanding how to budget your money. It helps you evaluate your lifestyle and decide what purchases are the most important to you right now or what can be put off so you can save up. You allocate every dollar that you make to some budget. If you’ve gone under budget for the month, your income will roll over to the next month. You can easily and clearly see where you’ve saved and how much you can set aside for a big purchase.
