There is nothing better than a free app (except for a really good paid one). Apple has never been big on free apps, but over the last few years they seem to have changed direction a little bit. This may be because they now have over 700,000 apps available, so their money making potential is massive, or it may be because free apps with advertising on them is now big business. Whatever the reason, there are now some very nice free apps for the iPad apps. So, here are eight good ones that you can use if you are in business.
1 – Adobe Ideas
This is an editor that allows you to draw little sketches. It is a graphical editor that suits the needs of a great many business persons and academics. The problem that many people face is that not everything fits into neat little textual lines. Equations always appear harder to read when they are written in lines, and things such as mind maps look terrible. This app allows you to create sketches in order to express your ideas or to write equations, and it also allows you to do it on a linear scale so that you can make it look neat.
