Day One is one of my most used apps. A journal application that runs on the ipad and the macs keeping me in sync. Great for notes and/or keeping a journal.

Hi guys,
My dad want's to start using his iPad to do all his invoices on and I am looking for some advice for what will be the best app?

We have a PDF that has the fields all set out that he uses at the moment on his laptop.

I see there are quite a few apps like this on the App Store eg PDF Expert and PDF Forms etc.

Does anyone own any of these apps?
I could send you the PDF and then you could upload a screenshot of what it looks like so I can see if it looks ok and then can buy it

Thanks

Invoice2go is fantastic. I do all my invoices on this.

Glad to see XCOM being sold premium price. Hopefully it's the start of a backlash against from IAP consumables and spammy games.

Apparently, it's supposed to be an excellent port, too with the touch-based controls very well done.

Agreed - I wish more game companies would price their iOS games slightly higher and not include any IAP. I hate being constantly reminded that I could progress further if I paid some more money (Or having to pay for activating cheats - I'm looking at you Football Manager >_>')

Was a great game on the PC and having just completed it again on the IPad, I still love it. Brilliant port and it works flawlessly.

1000000% Recommend for a very lengthy (30hrs+), enjoyable, and voted one of the best storyline games ever made.

Survivalcraft

Minecraft inspired, but better optimised for the iPad, better supported and cheaper (and procedurally generated worlds). Fantastic little game, my current favourite

KOTOR is down to £2.99. Purchased

Joe Danger is at £0.69 as well. I've got it for the PS3 and if it's similar it's well worth the money.

Wow didn't think they'd drop the rice that quickly, bought!

Looks great too!

Yeah, bit disappointed with the feature I wanted - streaming WMV over Wifi. It's about 0.1 frame per second.

Looks great, has a couple of nice features and performance seems to be acceptable.

It would be nice if it had a built-in samba client.
