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 :)
@emarky Wish it was free, but I've heard it is worth the money!

I've ipad air with keyboard and my main usage is reading/answering emails. I also use it for writing blog posts and watching series.
It's basicly a modern typewriter for me :)
Netflix
Journaling
TikTok – which I've removed from my phone
Also, I've set my phone to have way fewer notifications (just top headlines in news, work email, calls, a few other top priority apps for my home), but I've let the notifications fly on my iPad. I often have it sitting next to my computer so I can see the notifications when I'm working but not when I'm out and about and don't want my phone buzzing every few minutes. I try and make my iPad more of the "not-phone" device that I pick up when I want to waste time.
It's pretty much becoming my go-to-device for work.
I use:
- Notion: to organise my life, work tasks, book writing, planning new projects
- Procreate: I love to draw and it comes in handy whipping for drawing illustrations for websites
- Figurative (Figma for iPad): So I can check on UI designs and make changes on the fly if I need to
- Netflix/YouTube: When I wanna laze
- Domain (Aussie): Looking at houses and dreaming about the one I want to buy
- Spark: For managing all of my email accounts on an ipad makes it so easy to manage

@stealthywizard Wow, I didn't know that Figma came out with an editing version, thanks for letting me know! My teammates will be stoked about this :)
Using an iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard attachment – it’s basically replaced everything that isn’t coding from my MacBook.
Darkroom for photo editing, otherwise casual Netflix/YouTube/Twitter.
Highly recommend trying out Muse (https://museapp.com/) for any kind of brainstorming/planning/ideation – really is a one of a kind product built for iPad (and Apple Pencil)
Well, Adobe and Affinity got pretty good design apps. I use it whenever I need to create a quick social media post or other graphics. Also Evernote: I create content while walking in the park.
