Fellow iPad owners, what are your favorite uses for the iPad?

by•
I'm pretty basic when it comes to technology- I've had a smartphone and a computer since my college days and that's pretty much been enough for me. I got an iPad from a relative as a gift last week, and found myself not reaching for it as much. What do you guys use your iPad for? I know a lot of people use it to write notes, design, read, etc... but is there anything crucial that I'm missing? Let me know! Thanks :)

I use Procreate to draw and take notes...Sometimes to watch videos on it.

@danyubmustefa @hannahsuyun @noy_s I use my iPad to read Superbooks on: https://bubblin.io

@danyubmustefa Do you find that your eyes get tired after staring at the screen for too long?
Danyub Mustefa
@hannahsuyun Not at all. I just use the dark theme if I'm reading in a low light

@danyubmustefa okay, makes sense. thanks!

My top uses are (don't judge) 1. Netflix in bed 2. Zillow 3. Deviant Art / Dribbble 4. Second screen for Zoom meetings, so my laptop is freed up 5. Lecture videos in the kitchen

@vineet_sinha We are using it for Neflix too, lol!

@vineet_sinha Haha no judgement. Definitely guilty of browsing through houses I can't afford on Zillow

Second screen normally, also doodling which is good for relaxing, morning news the increased space coupled with touch makes it a god for content consumption. Note taking.

@aaronoleary Yes I've found that switching back to my phone after watching YouTube or reading on my iPad kind of makes me sad haha.

I don't own an iPad but want to. This same questions comes my mind everytime I reach the checkout. What to see what people are using it for.

Writing notes and drawing diagrams and mockups for products. There are great use cases. There are also several apps to have it all synchronized with your mac and iPhone.

I mostly use it for writing notes and needless to say, I can't use my iPad without my pencil. I'm a writer and not a typer so creating quick notes really comes handy! I also wrote something on the latest iPadOS updates. Check it out if you have some time: https://www.gunjanbhardwaj.com/p... My husband also uses it to view recipes while cooking (because keeping a laptop in the kitchen takes more space and you can't afford any harm on it). I also use it as a whiteboard (a second display) during conference calls.

@gunjan_bhardwaj Thanks for sharing! Will check it out.

I always prefer my iPad over laptop and mobile for Netflix and browsing stuff. Pretty good offering from Apple. Also, I do some minor code or text editing on the go or when I don't want to open my laptop.

I use my iPad to design and edit images! I have found some great apps that are helping me to create very professional images. I have a lot of fun with my iPad :)
Hannah S Kim
@karla_suarez Awesome! I've tried Lightroom on the iPad and it works great, are there any other apps you recommend?
