![]() (No, I am not going to count them.) Some I use daily, some weekly, some a lot less frequently than that. So how many apps do I have installed on my iPad Pro? I am, sure I have too many. Similarly, when you try to zoom the web view because the developer chose to use 8 point font, the ability to effectively use the web interface is virtually eliminated. Part of my issue with the web interfaces for many of these apps is they are not designed to work correctly with the mobile web browser, or do not offer a mobile optimized view. And I likely could use many website interfaces instead of the native application, but sometimes those websites have a less than appealing interface on the smaller screen.īut, I like the native app concept, despite Lance Ng’s article on Medium suggesting the end is near for native apps on mobile devices.

That being said, not all apps support dynamic type in iOS, which greatly inhibits the usefulness of the app. This means sometimes it is easier to manipulate the screen magnification or use dynamic type (assuming the app supports it) on the iPad. I am no longer limited to being in front of my iMac all of the time. ![]() Between my iPhone and my iPads, I can work on anything, anywhere. There are only a few things that I have found challenging to get a good solution for outside of a web browser, and some of those web browser interfaces are difficult to deal with. Aside from my iPhone, I also have an iPad Pro and an iPad Air 2.įor the most part, I can do everything I need to do on my iPad and do it just as well as on my Mac. I decided to make the move from the desktop to the iPad. I spend more time on my iPad Pro (and my iPhone) than using my Apple iMac. This article has been updated to include a list of the common iPad applications I use.īut, this has been an interesting journey over the last year.
