Description
"We have reviewed a few educational apps recently here at The Smartphone App Review, but none of them have been as ambitious as this one…. The great thing about the app it that it is so clever in how it teaches."

If you have been using a computer for more than about 10 minutes, you have encounter a .zip file. Used as a method of compressing large files down to a more manageable size, .zip archives are also a great way to bundle multiple files together for ease of transfer and transport.

And now you can review these file archives directly on your iPad with WinZip, made available by the same experts who have been at this technology for the last 20 years.


Whether you come across a .zip archive in your email or webmail, it only takes a moment to open them and review the contents. Provided the included files are in one of the supported formats (.txt, .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, .pptx, .rtf, .pdf, .key, .numbers, .pages, .htm, .htm, .jsp, .bmp, .jpg, .jpeg, .tif, .tiff, .png, .gif), you can easily click on each file to preview them using this app. A very handy feature of this app allows you to select content from those contained files and copy it to the clipboard for use elsewhere on your iPad.

Multi-file attachments are not a problem either!

Doodlecast Pro for iPad expands on Doodlecast for Kids (PadGadget = 4 stars). Not only is the app really fun to use, but it has the potential to help students, teachers, or anyone who needs to present and record information, visually save and share their ideas.

Doodlecasters can use this app to create lessons to share with students, to annotate graphs or other materials for presentation, and to keep track of the creative process. Whether the user chooses Doodlecast to help with a fun task, or a work-related assignment, he will find using the app is both simple and enjoyable to use.

The menu bar houses all of the command buttons to run the app. It vanishes while you are working, (unless you turn it off this feature in settings) but can be recalled with a tap. There are controls on the menu bar that allow the user to create a new Doodlecast, preview your work, or share your work to via email, to the iPad photo library, or straight to YouTube.

With Doodlecast Pro the user can also add a variety of preset backgrounds to turn the screen into graph paper, or a comic strip. Plus, the app lets you import photos from the camera roll to draw on:

PDF Annotation Apps
The Power Of Acrobat Pro In The Palm Of Your Hands

Overview
PDFs have become the default format for sharing formatted documents across platforms. If you only want to read PDFs, iBooks will likely meet your needs. But, if you want to modify or annotate your PDFs, you'll need a different app with a larger toolkit. The App Store has many options, but they all have such similar descriptions that it can be difficult to determine which one has the features you need. At the very least, all PDF annotators should allow users to underline, highlight, or strikethrough text, add a note, and write on the PDF (preferably via both keyboard text and handwriting). This AppGuide includes apps that do all of that and more, so that your iPad can be your first choice when you need to annotate a PDF.
