Some apps (short for applications) come preinstalled on your iPad, such as Contacts and Videos. But there’s a world of other apps out there that you can get for your iPad, some for free (such as iBooks) and some for a price (typically, from 99 cents to about $10 though some can top out at $90 or more).

Apps range from games to financial tools and productivity applications, such as the iPad version of Pages, the Apple software for word processing and page layout.

In this chapter, I suggest some apps you might want to check out and explain how to use the App Store feature of iPad to find, purchase, and download apps.

Explore Senior-Recommended Apps

As I write this book, apps are being furiously created for iPad, so there will be many more apps available that could fit your needs by the time you have this book in your hands. Still, to get you exploring what’s available, I want to provide a quick list of apps that might whet your appetite.

Access the App Store by tapping the App Store icon on the Home screen. Then check out an app by typing its name in the Search box and tapping the Search key on the onscreen keyboard. Here are some interesting apps to explore:

Sudoku Daily (Free; see Figure 9-1): If you like this mental math puzzle in print, try it out on your iPad. It has three lessons and several levels ranging from easiest to nightmare, making it a great way to make time fly by in the doctor’s or dentist’s waiting room.
