We just got an 11"ipad Pro with the pencil. This is my first time owning an ios device since the iPhone 3gs! It is intended to be a shared family ipad for me, wife, & kids aged 7&10.
Case - we are thinking of getting the new keyboard case. I've heard it is kind of heavy, some people are suggesting having a 2nd case for pure tablet use. Would you agree with this? The folio case is £50 at Currys - why is it so much? Is it worth it?
Calculator - I am amazed it doesn't have a calculator, recommended the best calculator with no ads (obvs don't mind paying for it). Don't mind if it has advanced features, but it should have a basic mode, so they whole family can use it.
Notes - I was playing around with this today and couldn't seem to make sense of this. I have set up my Google account to sync notes with my ipad. However if I use the pencil, I can't save the notes as Google notes! Is this correct? Let's say I want to write a shopping list on the ipad with the pencil, and then want to be able to see the shopping list on my phone whilst in the shop. At the moment I feel that I would have to email it to myself, which seems crazy. Whatabout if my family wanted to edit the list when I was in the supermarket - is there any way of making that possible? (obviously shopping lists must be a key reason that I thought we should spend so much in an ipad Pro!)
As I mentioned, it's pure first ipad, so do recommend me anything else you think is worthwhile, like drawing apps, animation apps, games, educational tools etc
