Hi! I am Cindy and just got my iPad to use in my special Ed classrooms and so my hubby and I stop fighting over our laptop. I love to read, just finished college, and already use my iPad to collect favorite recipes, craft patterns, and home decorating stuff. I am new to apple and the iPad so it has been tough to choose apps and figure out how to use them.

Hi Cindy and welcome to the Forum!

A great app is Appshopper it's another way to browse for apps. You can also input a wish list and when an app comes on sale it will alert you. A great way to get paid apps free.
