The name of the application may sound like a bad imitation of iPod, but iPad is a simple but very smart application. Users who are looking for alternatives to their current word processing application can consider iPad as an option. The application is very light for a word processing application(less than 2mb in size) and doesn’t require a lot of processing power from the user. But even with this limitation, the application is an impressive word processing application due to its additional features.

The interface of the application is very simple. The text area is surrounded by a large border where the shortcut buttons for various functions of the application is located. One unique feature of the application is on its focus on image editing. Various shortcuts that allow image editing in the application are provided by default.

Unfortunately, the application has limitations. Users will have to test the application a few times first before they can be at ease with the software. iPad may offer shortcuts to popular functions but the icons used for shortcuts can be confusing for first time users since the tags or description of the shortcuts are not indicated. The text area is also a little bit limited because the large border added for icon shortcuts.

But aside from these small limitations, users will be able to launch the application without any trouble. It’s efficient enough for basic functions which means personal use of the application will never be disappointing. The addition of image editing tool within the document has made the application very interesting and better compared to other lightweight word processing applications.
