When I first bought my iPad a few years ago I looked upon it as a really useful little toy to access email and Facebook when traveling.

OrganiDoc HD has just turned into one of those essential apps! This staggering and very powerful file management application is almost the missing link that revolutionizes your tablet and is virtually a USB ... Read more

AsPDF is one of those types of apps that I love the most. While it appears to be little more than a place to submit and share PDF's - generally not the most exciting and fun concept - there are two different functions that AsPDF can fulfill. One the one hand it's a place to find thousands of manuals, documents and research material on anything from cancer research to any number how-to manuals. But on a sneakier and very clever level it could also be a place where you could effectively store all your home manuals and technical information and ... Read more

Well here is a familiar problem that we all have to face it one time or another. For many different reasons we are required to keep recepts for our purchases. It might be for taxation reasons, for claiming back work expenses or a shared expense with a housemate. Now if you are anything like me I've got some in a drawer under the computer, some on the kitchen noticeboard and some in my wallet. Oh, and then there's a couple in my pocket. OneReceipt is a free personal finance organize tool where you can keep all your receipts - whether ... Read more

I like this app. Based in Poland (and available in English or Polish language versions), this online app makes life very easy if you need to create a .pdf file of any web page.

There have been plenty of times when I've said to a Twittere friend "Have you read any Jonathan Carroll books?" Of course, they've generally never heard of him so I offer to send them something so they can see if they like his writing. That's where it gets a little tricky. I could just go out and buy a copy of "Sleeping In Flames" and post it off but that takes time. I could use a file sharing site but, let's face it, that's a bit of a hassle. Twtebook is a PDF book share tool for Twitter that let's ... Read more
