MY FAVOURITE APPS……… so far!

My new iPad is one week old today!

I am having a great time downloading apps, music and books.

I downloaded the book “The Element” by Ken Robinson and Lou Aronica which I am really looking forward to reading!

Two apps that I am really enjoying at the moment are:

1. Shazam

Shazam ‘listens’ to recorded music (doesn’t work with LIVE music) and tells you:

           -the title of the song

          – artist, and

          – gives you a pic of the album cover

A record of the information is kept in My Tags 

I find this REALLY handy because I often hear a song and think – Ohhhhh that would be great for a lesson on… or, that song would fit the theme of my next concert ….. or what a great song for my choir…….    But I don’t know the name of the song!  Shazam tells me! And I can go back and check on the title etc. later because it’s saved to my iPhone or iPad.

Shazam is FREE

2. TuneIn Radio

The other app I’m having fun with is TuneIn Radio. This app allows me to tune into radio stations around the world!

You can pre-set your favourite stations.

When you first open the app it goes to browse which gives you a huge list of radio stations and what is currently playing on each!

You can record the song – or a snippet of it and keep it in your favourites.

I was listening to some wonderful instrumental music from Puerto Rico last night!

TuneIn is also FREE!

What are some of your favourite apps?
