iPad applications

Post by yahisha »

I recently received an iPad as a gift (very wonderful sister!) and have been looking for an app that would allow me to scan the design and hopefully do two things
1) Allow me to zoom in at will. :)
2) Allow me to mark areas completed.

Okay, so who knew that there were 1 million+1 apps out there! Does anyone have any suggestions of good iPad apps for our hobby?

Thanks!

If you find that, I'll put it on my iPad too. Great idea!

I think adobe 10 lets you enlarge your pdf files and has a highlighter so you can mark the document. I heard it on another forum. I'll have to check when I get back home to make sure that's the right version. I know I updated my adobe reader on my laptop and was able to do it.

I've just had a quick look and can only finder "thread trackers" but will keep looking.
Did find something that may be helpful though. Came across an app called
"park's colour finder" it let's you take a picture of a colour and the app then matches that colour to a make of thread. Could come in handy

Okay, I was wrong about the program being adobe. This came up on the HAED BB, and one member mentioned the Goodreader app. I think it's $5. It allows you to enlarge the chart with your fingers and also has many notation functions, including the multi-color highlighter. I guess it also lets you save the file as an annotated copy instead of writing over the original. I don't have an iPad, so I don't know anything about this personally.
