MUST HAVE applications

[mraif]

As for a Bible app, I use BibleReader by Olive Tree. Another tip is to click on your App Store button as check out Top Charts for both paid and free apps.

Must have Netflix and Hulu...anything else is extra.

Well. One or the other for sure. But truth be told I have both and probably will not keep Hulu Plus.

Netflix has fewer new TV shows, but they have no ads.

Hulu Plus has fewer movies, but the big surprise to me was that it has a monthly fee which is slightly higher than Netflix, AND you get commercials too! Boo!!

There's more, but my iPad is currently spending hours backing up, so I'll post back when it's done.

A lot of the above are free, and most shouldn't set you back too much. They're all worth it, in my opinon...
