Handy Apps on One Screen
I’m getting to know my iPad better. And one issue is only one application can be run at a time. This feature may not seem limiting, but it can be a bit redundant having to pop back and forth into the Home page to run a calculator, check a calendar, the weather, write yourself a note (you know, some quick, handy apps).
Enter the DashPad app. For $9.99, iPad users can download this application that provides a dashboard on one screen. Current apps provided on the Dashboard include a clock, calculator, monthly calendar, Google search button, convert units, Yellow Pages, sticky note, and weather.
Download the Dashpad app, and hit the + button on the iPad to add the Dashpad icon to your home screen. If you’re tired of having to sign off on one application (Google, or a calculator), and want to check the weather, than consider getting 8 applications in one. To access the widgets, hit the +- button on the upper lefthand corner, and a widget dock slides up on the screen bottom. Just click on to add, or remove each widget.
Users can also submit app requests. It will be interesting to see how many applications will be added to the Dashpad.
