With its well-designed, colourful layout, this iPad app is so simple that kids as young as 4 or 5 can immediately begin playing and learning with no adult involvement. Learning happens in the form of a game in which kids are shown a picture, and shown the letters in a jumbled order. They must then spell the word either by dragging and dropping the letters, or typing them using a keyboard. The app also provides auditory reinforcement by allowing kids to hear the word being spelled. After every few words spelled correctly, kids can choose from a host of prizes to add to a fish tank, which is initially bare, but slowly becomes active and vibrant with magnificent animations. Created by Merge Mobile, this is definitely one of the best iPad apps that teaches spelling.

Of all the agenda and calendar iPad apps available, this has got to be the simplest, and most user-friendly. Using the local iOS calendar app, Agenda Calendar supports Google Calendar, iCloud, Microsoft Exchange, and any other iOS calendar. This iPad application takes away the unnecessary details leaving its user with only the information he/she needs to know. It enables the user to have a broad overview of the year; scan the events for the month; check out what lies ahead for the week; or narrow down to just today. The user is able to quickly and easily find any date, using a variety of techniques, and then add events to the calendar. These events can then be synced with the other calendars being used. Wherever the user is within the app, he/she can tap on the target icon to take him/her to today. Of course events can be shared via Email.
