A comprehensive list of the 10 best free apps for your new iPad Pro Listening to music on your iPad is great, but sometimes you want to see a little visual action to accompany the sounds. You could watch music videos or even movies on the beautiful Retina display, but there are some amazing music visualization apps and games that will have you looking at visuals that perfectly complement any song in your library. Music may be organized by artist, album, song, genre, playlist, or composer. When a song is playing, the user sees album artwork and other related information. Songs (or other media) can be downloaded from iTunes Store directly into the user’s library by clicking on them in the store and confirming their purchase (unless they are part of a subscription service such as Apple Music or Rhapsody). Music can also be purchased directly from within these apps (by clicking on the price), which doesn’t require using iTunes on a computer

Best Apps For Ipad Pro 2019
- Procreate
The Procreate app for digital art, one of the best apps for iPad Pro users with an artistic streak.
Procreate’s tools will help you make digital art that simply astounds. Procreate
We could do a whole feature just on digital art apps for the iPad Pro. Out of all of these options, Procreate wins for its breadth of features and intuitive interface. The app offers a wealth of advanced tools—well over 100 different brush and pen types, with more than 50 different customizations available on each one. These help you create some seriously brilliant results, from basic digital sketches to advanced computer-generated artwork. Despite this multitude of options, Procreate still manages to avoid making its interface cluttered-looking or difficult to access. It really is a pleasure to use.
Procreate costs a one-time fee of $10. But to get the most out of it, you should also invest in an Apple Pencil ($130 from Apple).
Procreate is $10 for iPadOS.
- Paper
The Paper app for iPad Pro.
The versatile Paper app works equally well for sketching and note-taking. Paper
Paper helps you scribble digital doodles, with an emphasis on taking notes and making plans rather than creating artwork (though the app can do that too). Like actual paper, it lets you organize everything in a series of customized “notebooks.” In another similarity, the interface is very simple to use: It keeps the workspace as the main focus.
Sign up for a Pro subscription ($8 per month), and you can add cross-device syncing, multiple brush sizes, unlimited color swatches, and more features. While you’re buying, be aware that, like Procreate, Paper benefits from the Apple Pencil accessory.
Paper is free for iPadOS, or $8 per month for a Pro subscription.
- Pixelmator
The Pixelmator iPad Pro app.
Pixelmator covers all your image-editing needs—and then some. Pixelmator
Pixelmator is a comprehensive image editor for the iPad Pro, and it offers oodles of bonus features, including pixel-by-pixel editing, a vast range of tools, layer support, automatic adjustments, Photoshop compatibility, the ability to drop in text and shapes, and more. Create your own digital artwork from scratch, or make your existing photos look their best: The app can remove blemishes and imperfections from images, clone areas of a picture, blur or sharpen specific regions, and apply a host of color and brightness filters.
This thorough set of options comes with a price tag of $5. Add an Apple Pencil and Pixelmator becomes even easier to control.
Pixelmator is $5 for iPadOS.

- Microsoft Excel
Microsoft Excel for iPad.
Hear us out—the mobile version of Excel is becoming more and more advanced. Microsoft
Apple is eager to promote the iPad Pro as a serious computing device, and few apps demonstrate this better than Excel. Although it may not be as capable as the full-fat desktop version, Microsoft has been incrementally improving this competent mobile adaptation of Excel over the years and it’s significantly better than it was at launch. For example, the company added the ability to edit two spreadsheets side-by-side earlier this year.
The free app includes key formatting and sharing tools, but you will need an Office 365 subscription from Microsoft to make edits (rather than just view spreadsheets). That’ll set you back $7 per month.
Microsoft Excel is free for iPadOS, or $7 per month for an Office 365 subscription.
- YouTube
The YouTube iPad Pro app.
YouTube shines on the iPad Pro. YouTube
This essential video player should be one of the first apps you download onto your new iPad Pro. Whether you want to catch up on the latest sports highlights or learn to play guitar, you’ll find yourself turning to the YouTube app. You can also upload your own video clips straight from an iPad Pro.
With the free YouTube app for the iPad, you’ll have access to content from livestreams to music videos, as well as any shows and movies you’ve purchased from Google. If you pay $12 per month for YouTube Premium, you will also get an ad-free experience and access to some original web shows.

Microsoft Excel
Microsoft 365 Future Of 2020 Excel Suggestions
Source: Excel
Microsoft is still king of the Office apps and that’s especially true for spreadsheets. If you’ve ever wanted to pivot a table or do any number of ledger-ly things, you’ve wanted to do it in Excel. What makes Excel for iPad especially great is that Microsoft prioritized it even over the company’s own mobile devices and that head-start has made it not only a good Office app but a good iPad app. Heck, with split-view support, it makes it a great one. And Word, Powerpoint, and OneNote are no slouches either.
