To ask if you have an iPad what do you use it for?

[BluetheBear]

I would like an IPad but I have an iPhone and a laptop so I don't think I really need one.

I would like to try realistic drawing and note booking on an iPad but I can't really try it without getting one. Most things I could do on an iPad surely I can do on an iPhone... I would also use it for watching tv and maybe reading kindle books although I would also consider a kindle paperwhite for this and I have seen there is a new kindle which allows notetaking but it seems like the functions on that one are limited.

Reading/browsing internet/playing games in bed or on toilet. It's more flexible than a laptop and more useful for these things than a phone (my phone has a relatively small screen these days, original iPhone SE).

Readying and studying on the go for uni

Don't get a kindle paperwhite as you can't access library apps. With a library app you don't have to pay for books.

I will put a good word in for my Google Laptop. Fast, cheap and great. I didn't like Amazons Fire Stick and IPad is old school now. The Lappy does everything for me.

Mainly for drawing/digital painting. I use Procreate like a few other posters on here.

Also play games on it when my mind is racing 🙈

oh and shopping 😄

Just use it as it's more comfortable to watch than a phone. You tube etc much better on a bigger screen

I use mine for everything. Don’t have a laptop so use the iPad instead. Use I much more than my phone.

I don’t tend to read on it as I have a Kindle too. Was averse to kindles until I tried to be clever and downloaded the kindle app onto my iPad one year to take on holiday and then couldn’t read outside due to the glare.

I've got a keyboard for mine which also acts as a stand (the apple keyboard) so because it's way easier to type on than a phone I use it for emailing, texting, writing MN posts, booking stuff. Far nicer than doing it on a laptop.

I have an iPhone and laptop but I bloody love my iPad. It's so much easier to use than my phone and I take it to my Mum's if I quickly need to Google something or check online.

I use mine for everything. All my daily life, banking, shopping, reading, watching stuff, surfing the net, drawing, list making, chatting to friends & family, researching. Everything except make phone calls which I use my mobile for.

Phone comes around with me, but not doing anything that a keyboard (see above) would allow me to do faster.
