The Ultimate List of 73 Productivity Apps for iPadOS
For the past week, I've looked through collections of iPadOS productivity apps. Here's what I found.
If you are anything like me, you love reading lists of the top iPad productivity apps to find any hidden apps you've never heard of.
Instead of writing a traditional article this week, I decided to compile a list of iPad productivity apps from iPad experts across the internet.
Here's what I found.
The Process
First, let's talk about how I compiled this list. To build up this list, I looked through some of the top articles on iPad apps I could find.
Here's the list of the articles I used, which you can refer to for more information about the apps:

Great list of apps! At the same time, want to recommend one more list of the best productivity apps (https://productive.fish/blog/productivity-apps/); they divided them into a couple of types and gave helpful descriptions.
FOR ALL THAT'S HOLY WHY DO YOU RECOMMEND LASTPASS?!? They leaked peoples' passwords for crying out loud!!! I know this list isn't new but such things should be updated, someone might take your recommendation and get their passwords leaked too.
Good idea to make a list but it sadly looks rather low-effort. Publishing it without comment (what you like or don't about a given app), or without any division into categories makes the list much less useful. Josh linked a list showing how it should be done (although his list doesn't sadly say anything about subs too). Also why use google calendar when built-in apple calendar works just as good and you can add google calendars to it? Why allow google to farm your data?
Mail is another thing, the apple client is woefully basic.
Another thing - apps with subscriptions should be clearly marked. SaaS is a cancer and we should promote one-time-purchase apps.
