Thing 22 discovering Apps

I searched the web for best iPad apps and checked out pcmag.com's list.  I've always liked this magazine since we got it in our library, until it went online only, but now we are getting Macworld  in print, instead, so thought it would be a great place to discover apps. I noticed that it had a lot of the ones that we used in this program, too! I downloaded a couple from this site and tried them out. I also went to the Appsgonefree app and downloaded it.  Today I downloaded the app Smartscan. I used it right away to show my supervisor a book that was requested by interlibrary loan, since she's off campus and connected by her phone rather than desktop email, so I might get an answer sooner.   She said it came in great, and it was easy to use, too.  I also liked Shazam, found on a website list search. I will definitely use this whenever I can to check music for performer or writer. I also discovered a flight check app, a movie and video app, and a yoga app.  With 1/2 a million apps out there, and many more added daily, there's a good chance I could fill up this iPad very quickly!
