Apple apps from the App Store

Make a picture perfect. Edit an HD movie. Record a track. Read a novel or write one. Present your big idea. Apple apps from the App Store are designed by the people who designed the iPad. And they give you the power and versatility to do more than you ever thought possible.

iLife

With iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand for iPad, you can do all the fun, creative things you love to do. Like making movies, making music, or making your photos look their best. All with a touch of your finger.

iPhoto. Give your photos the perfect touch.

It’s everything you love about viewing, editing, and sharing photos — but with the power and simplicity of Multi-Touch. You can quickly organize and compare photos. Brush adjustments onto an image with your finger. Apply professional-quality effects in a single tap. And create beautiful photo journals to share with family and friends. It’s creative control like you’ve never experienced before. 

iMovie. Very independent filmmaking.

With iMovie, making HD trailers and movies is fast and fun — and you can do it all with your fingers. Follow a storyboard to create a thrilling trailer. Or shoot 1080p HD right from your iPad and turn that footage into a mini feature film. Choose from a selection of Hollywood-style themes and templates. Then edit your clips and fine-tune your soundtrack on location. No matter where you are, you’re always in the director’s chair.

GarageBand. Wanted: Rock 'n' roll heroes. No experience required.

Turn your iPad into an electric guitar. Or a grand piano. Or even an acoustic drum kit. GarageBand lets you choose from a large collection of instruments that sound just like their real counterparts — but let you do things you could never do on a real instrument. A powerful eight-track recording studio lets you lay down tracks whenever inspiration strikes. And Jam Session lets you and up to three friends play and record together like a real band. 

iWork

With Pages, Keynote, and Numbers, you have everything you need to create beautiful documents, stellar presentations, and impressive spreadsheets, in ways you’ve never imagined. All three are designed to work seamlessly with iPad and each one is available at the App Store.

Pages. Word processing that's way beyond words.

Pages lets you create beautiful letters, flyers, reports, invitations, and more — right on your iPad. Apple-designed templates give you a great head start, and easy-to-use formatting tools let you make them your own. Type right on the Multi-Touch screen. Tap to add photos, tables, and 3D charts. Drag to adjust tabs and margins. And swipe to move through your document. Words have never come so easily. 

Keynote. Make a moving presentation. And take it anywhere.

Keynote makes it easy to create, deliver, and share stunning presentations. Choose from 12 elegantly designed themes. Customize the graphics any way you like. Add some fun with photos, movies, and textured 3D charts. And play up the drama with animated transitions and effects. Everything looks even more impressive when you present full screen on iPad. You can almost hear the applause already. 

Numbers. Now anyone can be a Numbers person.

Numbers makes it surprisingly easy — and surprisingly fun — to design spreadsheets. Tap and swipe to access a full range of templates, 250 easy-to-use functions, an intelligent keyboard, flexible tables, and textured 3D charts. You can even add checkboxes and star ratings to your cells. Before you know it, you’ve got an impressive spreadsheet on your hands. View it full screen on iPad to see just how beautiful data can be.

iTunes U. A lifetime of learning on tap.

The world’s largest online catalog of free education content features lectures, videos, books, and more, from some of the most distinguished institutions in the world. It’s all at your fingertips, courtesy of the iTunes U app on iPad.
