Remote app and apple tv

The app I would like to talk about this week week is called "remote".  This app can be used much like a remote control for a TV can.  It is primarily used for controlling an apple tv, which is fantastic entertainment system.  The apple tv is using for watching TV shows and movies directly on your TV.  It can stream movies directly from the internet on netflix or other entertainment sites, stream movies and TV shows that you have stored on your computer, and it can even access internet sites like youtube. What the remote app can do is it can remotely control your apple tv so you do not have to use the remote that comes with it.  The remote that comes with the apple tv only allows for up and down controls which take a long time to type it the name of move/tv show that you want to watch on your apple tv.  Using your iPad, you can type in the name of the show that you want to watch and control the up and down movements of the show listings that you are viewing.  It essentially turns your iPad into a remote control.  It really is a great app and I recommend it, especially if you own or are thinking of owning an apple tv.  

SoundNote

The app that I have discovered this week is called SoundNote.  This is an app that can be very beneficial for students and for others looking to take notes.  This app is a note taking app.  It allows for you to take notes directly onto the touch screen of the iPad.  There is an added bonus to this app.  Has anybody ever been in a lecture and has not been able to get down everything that the professor says or what is being presented on a power point presentation?  What is very nice about this app is that it records the lecture for you so you can review the lecture afterwards.  Now, I'm sure there are some people who would just rather by a tape recorder and then take down their own notes, but there is something else that is special about this app.  It allows for you to click on a word in your notes and the corresponding audio recording will automatically jump to the spot.  This is really remarkable.  The word that you click has to be an identifiable word that is not used excessively, however.  This is a very useful app that I have discovered only a few days ago.  Surely there are many more apps to be discovered.  I hope to discover more and more every week...every day!.

Pdf-Notes

Today I am going to be talking about the app called "pdf-notes".  This app is a great study tool for me.  It always me to make annotations on any pdf file.  This is important for a student as we constantly have to add additional information to the file that you would like.  It also allows for speedy page turning and scanning the contents of your pdf files.  You simply finger write the notes you want directly on the page, anywhere you want on the page. It is a great application and for any student who owns an iPod it is an essential.  You can also highlight and underline anywhere on the page that you want.   It has very fast and intuitive finger-writing technology and beneficial to anybody who wants to add notes to a pdf file.  This app comes in a free and paid version.  The paid version is only $0.99 but I have only used the free version, but from the reviews I have read online, the free version will get done what you need to get done.  I highly recommend this app.  It is very useful for every student.
