Tiger Woods PGA TOUR

In light of the masters that was just played, I would like to talk about an app that involves golf.  This app is very entertaining.  Obviously it is a golf app but it lets you play like the pros.  The first time I played this app I failed miserably.  It is very hard at first, and it offers a lot of challenging shots throughout the game.  The first two are three game I played I didn't make the cut, and in golf that means that you didn't do well enough in the first two rounds to qualify for the last two rounds.  After a while I learned that you can curve shots, have extra strength power shots, and have special spin on the ball to spin it right or left depending on your shot. After a while I began to excel in the game and to even win a few tournaments myself.  It is a very fun game and it is very challenging.  I have always enjoyed this app and I think you will too.

Kindle

The kindle app for iPad is pretty cool.  You can use your iPad as you would a kindle, which means countless books can be downloaded directly to you iPad.  I haven't been using my kindle app much until recently and it has completely re-opened my interest in literature.  I have read 2 books this past week, which is unheard of for me.  I usually only read about one book a year. I was just tired of having to go to a book store and paying 10 bucks for a book I would eventually read.  With the kindle app, I simply just download mostly free books, and there are thousands of free book that can be downloaded and a lot of them are very good.  Among all the cool things I can use my iPad for, I can now use it like a kindle.  I love it.

Pages

I found a new app today called Pages.  This app offers some interesting things.  It is closely similar to a word document, but it also offers 16 templates for things including: a classic letter, formal letter, resume, project proposal, term paper, a poster, syllabus, thank you cards, recipe, and a flyer.  There are other other templates available for this app as well.  It offers automatic spell check on all words typed.  It is a very useful app for a number of different projects.   I discovered this app today so i don't know a lot about it but from what I do know it seems to be a great app.
