The Pekoe Guide to iPad Apps
There are many iPad apps that are meant to help people sketch-out ideas and work on-the-go but not many of them actually do this well. After using many of these apps, we have settled on two effective apps that we use regularly: Autodesk Sketchbook and FTPOnTheGo.
Autodesk Sketchbook Pro is a sketching app that is used to jot down design ideas. It 
allows for the use of layers, shapes, undo, redo, and object resizing. Adobe has also come out with an alternative app, Ideas, which has a cleaner layout and works nicer in many ways. However, Autodesk Sketchbook has more versatility and this cannot be overlooked. Using Sketchbook, we have sketched-out everything from full-fledged websites to small logos. Our favorite feature is the fact that we can create an object on the canvas and later go back and edit it depending on the other elements that we have created.
FTPOnTheGo is a must for anyone who works in web design. It is an FTP client, an html editor, and a browser that supports many different document types, including Word, Excel, Power Point, and PDFs. It can even zip and unzip files within the program itself and has the capability to move entire folders and edit multiple files at once. There is also a basic image editor: photos can be captured, resized, and cropped and then uploaded to the internet. Our favorite feature, find and replace, is something that we honestly don’t think we could live without. This is the end-all, be-all web development tool for the ipad!
