iPad Apps – EVS Picks #1
Recently, I did a survey of the EVS executive team on their favorite iPad applications. My first victim was Nathan, a co-founder of EVS and is the main software architect and general brainiac of the firm. Here are his choices:
Zite (www.zite.com). A customizable newspaper. While Flipboard innovated this space, Zite took it to a new level of usefulness and user experience.
MyPad. MyPad is a Facebook app for the iPad. We’ve tried most of the Facebook apps for iPad and this one stands out for it’s user experience.
Thriller. Okay, you won’t find this one on the app store as this is our internal time/billing and expense iPad application. We’ve been experimenting with how database applications should interact with the iPad as a native app. What I’ve seen from this prototype app is pretty impressive.
Fruity Ninja. What’s not to love about ninjas samurai swords? Add to it that Nate is a Fire Ninja and you have the recipe for some real action.
As a side note, if Gold Rush Alaska had an iPad app, it would be on the top of Nate’s list, regardless of content or user experience.
