Get ready to kick back, relax, and lose yourself in some cool iPad apps. The iPad is a fantastic computer, loaded with features and plenty of productive tools. However, it also has some awesome apps that can help you relax, let your hair down, and just kick back.
PixelSwarm ($0.92)
Cosmic pixels swim around the screen in the form of “space dust”. Play with the dust for a relaxing game that will help your mind slow down and your body relax. The pixels can be swooped around gracefully, or tapped to make them scatter. Play an old fashioned game of catch by tossing them back and forth between two fingers. Granted, the activity is utterly mindless, but that’s the appeal of it!
iZen Garden ($5.99)
Gardening isn’t just for the outdoors. Now you can garden on the iPad to reap all the relaxing, mind clearing rewards it has to offer. Delicate music plays in the background to help you relax as you work with virtual hands. Build the garden, add rocks, and rake the sand to create a virtual garden that will never be swept away by virtual rains. There is simply no better way to relax and unwind. The best things in life aren’t always free. While this app does have a free version, the one for $6 is well worth the money.
Synth ($0.99)
Musicians, rejoice. Now you can whip up your own creative tunes, without carting around a bulky keyboard. There aren’t a ton of controls on this synthesizer, but that’s part of the appeal. You have the control to make some fantastic tunes, and you’re sure to have a great time doing it. Even novices who can’t read music will have fun putting together random tunes, and the price is really attractive.
Pocket Girl ($0.99)
Now you can tote you girlfriend around with you wherever you go. This woman is guaranteed not to nag, complain, whine, or spend your money. She never ages, and yet you can interact with her! Finally, a girl that truly can be controlled at the touch of a button! One warning, though: Beware of the strange looks your friends might give you when you try to buy her dinner.
Auto Will ($4.99)
Everybody needs a will, but who has time to visit an attorney? With this app, you can create your will right on your iPad, in your free time and at your convenience. Once it’s complete, you can send it off to your friends, relatives, and nosy neighbours. This app can bring all new meaning and convenience to the term “writing you out of the will”.
Bubble Snap (Free)
Everyone loves bubble wrap, and it never gets old! The only inconvenience is having to wait until you get a package that actually has some. This is no longer an issue with Bubble Snap! Pop away on the iPad and see if you can beat your high score. The best part of all is that there’s no trash, and you never run out of bubbles to squeeze and destroy.
Now that you have your new iPad, you’re ready to bring on the apps! Sure there are apps that are useful and functional. There are apps for finding restaurants and directions and checking the weather on the other side of the world. But the best apps of all are the mindless relaxing ones that can help you slow down the pace, relax, and just enjoy your iPad.
