iPad User Magazine - UK (2019-04)

Welcome

to iPad User Magazine, helping

you to do more with your iPad

W

hen the iPad first launched, we really had no idea

how far it could go. Apple made sure to include the

iWork apps (Pages, Numbers and Keynote) to show that it

could be a serious work machine, but it took other app

developers to show that it could be a powerful creative

tool too (musicians were maybe the first to really unlock

its powers). Now we’re at a point where we can offer you

the chance to upgrade your iPad skills across a range of

creative and productive endeavours, using versions of

apps that are every bit as powerful as desktop

equivalents, and often even more ingenious.

We’ve got tips to make your spreadsheets look more

professional (or fun) using capabilities you may not realise

Numbers has; and similarly we’ll show you new animation

tools in Keynote that can be for giggles or serious use.

We’ve also got a big dive into Pixelmator Photo, which is

a photo-focused image editor with amazing AI tools that

make a better job of auto-fixing pictures than anything

that’s come before. And there are many more guides,

naturally, plus reviews of Apple’s two newest iPads!
