Just like other apps that use GPS, you want to keep an eye on your device’s battery before using this app for long hours. Pretty fun app to play around with.

Your iPad is more than capable of keeping you up-to-date with the latest weather conditions in your area. You are just going to need a decent weather app to handle the job. The Thermometer and Hygrometer is a simple tool you can use to keep up with the outside temperature and humidity level at your current location.

Thermometer and Hygrometer has a pretty beautiful interface. It tells you the temperature and how it feels like outside. It also shows you whether you have to deal with dry or wet conditions. You can switch from Celsius to Fahrenheit easily. If you are looking to get rain and weather forecasts, you may want to try other apps.

The Thermometer and Hygrometer app does not cost a whole lot. But it could be a whole lot better. For starters, we would love for it to cover more info. The readings are not always accurate. It certainly does not come close to thermometer apps with physical sensors.

Visual Budget for iPad offers various graphs to give you a better view of your transactions. The free version does have some limitations (e.g. the number of transactions you can have for each account). We found the paid version to be a bit pricey for our taste. But if you can justify the price, Visual Budget can serve as a pretty decent budget tracker for your iOS device.

The iPad is more than just an entertainment tablet. It is a great tool for drivers to have around. Exploring maps on these tablets is a lot of fun. You may also use your iPad as a navigation device. It can serve as your speedometer as well. Speed 2 for iPad is just the app you need to start getting speed readings on your tablet. It combines a beautiful user interface with a compass and odometer to provide you with useful information on your drives.

Speed 2 has beautiful graphics with easy-to-follow displays for its odometer, speedometer, and compass. Its data can be displayed in miles, kilometers, and knots. Users can choose between analog and digital displays for speed. They can also choose north or true north for the compass feature. The Speed Limiter feature is pretty neat. It alerts you if you are going over a certain speed.

Speed 2 won’t always work if you are just walking or running. You need to go above a certain speed for readings to register. Keep in mind that you need a 3G or 4G iPad to use this. We would love to see this app made available for iPhone. It is not always perfect but Speed 2 has potential.
