I use Notability everyday for taking notes in class–still haven’t been convinced by Evernote.
Others:
Dropbox
Facebook
Google app (sometimes nicer than the Sarafi app, except for the lack of tab browsing)
Bible by Tecarta (nice book feel on the iPad and quick searching)
Paper by 53 Studio (best simple drawing app I’ve seen)Games:
Uzu (how to show off your iPad to friends; never fails to amuse)
Substrate (more of a screensaver than a game but fun)
Carcassonne (better than the actual board game)
Canabalt (a must-have time waster)
Flow Free (alternative for the puzzle-minded)
Eufloria HD (best long-duration campaign game I’ve tried on iOS)
Blood & Glory (Infinity Blade for free)hold up boss….the actual boardgame allows for my favourite house rule…playing with three tiles in hand..ramps up strategy and planning (since it’s not just blind tile pulls)
but the app is awesome.That’s very true. I was playing Carcassonne on my iPad with some friends a while ago using the local pass-n-play mode. The downside we encountered was that sometimes a person would accidentally tap the confirmation check mark too soon and miss the opportunity to dedicate their Meeple, or they would tap to place a Meeple in the wrong spot and not catch it till later. There’s no option to redo a move, so some people’s turns were less than optimal. So, there’s a definite downside to the technological barrier.
I love it since it allows me to play with my friend asynchronously online. I wouldn’t get a chance to play the game very often otherwise. In person, I might opt for the actual game set next time.
Don’t get me wrong, a lot of those boardgame ipad apps are amazing to have, but when given the chance, of a fireplace, some hot chocolate and a snack, I’m opting for cardboard!
On the subway though….. 😉
And some are just cumbersome. magic 2013 I found counterintuitive.
Ticket to Ride is perfection. Hands down
Look me up on game centre. Same username.
