Hi all
As all iPad owners know, iPad doesn't have some nice stock iPhone apps. What I mean by that is priiinstalled apps right out of the box like Stock, Voice-memo, Weather and compass. I think it would be quite nice for Apple to bring those over to the iPad. Can you guise give me some recomendations for those apps for iPad? Is there any similar apps that almost has the same designs and functions?
iPad, iOS 7.1
For the weather I use, Yahoo Weather for comprehensiveness and readability, YoWindow for fun animations, Fahrenheit for an onscreen temperature display, and NOAA weather for satellite and radar maps. For the calculator, Calculator%', compass Go SkyWatch Planetarium. Games Robocop and CSr Classics.
For stock closing prices and calculations you can also use Siri.
Yeah I use Yahoo weather too. I think it's simaler to iPhone's stock weather app. Actually, Apple get there weather info from Yahoo. I also use voice recorder app. It's $0.99 from App Store. How about compass and stock app? Does Yahoo provide simaler stuff like weather app?
The best thing to do is go to the App Store and enter stocks or compass in the search field then download a couple of each to see which is the best for you. The App Store is one of the best features of the iPad. You can install an app, use it, delete if you don't like it, then if you change your mind you can reinstall them from purchased in the app store. Also if a website has info you like but no app you can mark the website as favorite and you'll get an icon on the Safari page.
There are many stock apps, a lot of people like the Bloomberg app and you can look for others at http://www.appshopper.com.
Any compass app will only work on your iPad if yours is a WiFi+Cellular.
Thanks for replying everyone to my post.
I just decided to use weather channel instead of Yahoo weather.
Anyway, can I ask a question that's not related to this topic? I just don't want to create separate topic for this question I'm trying to ask here. It's a simple question, so!!
Does iPad have alert thing when we have like severe weather condition? Right now, where I currently am have really bad weather going on, tornados and storms. I know iPhone goes off but since iPad doesn't have stock weather built-in, I wonder if it goes off or not.
To check if your iPad has the ability, go to:
Settings>Notification Center
All the way at the bottom on my iPhone are options for
Amber Alert
Emergency Alerts
I don't have a pad with cellular right now to check but wifi only does not have these options
I don't see it there. It just says empty.
A couple of the weather apps have alert messages but I think that's different from the phone. I think the phone gets the message from Civil Defense not the weather app. Unfortunately I can't give you a definitive answer.
Hopefully weather channel can do the same job.
Stock iPhone Apps for iPad?
