Webtrends
iOS - http://wsm.co/NOF7VL
Need analytics when you’re away from your desktop?
If the answer is yes, you might want to check
out the new iPad app from Webtrends, which
offers insights into trending data from websites,
including Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. The free
app provides current Webtrends customers with an
extension of the company's digital intelligence solutions, but is also
available for digital marketers who aren’t currently Webtrends’ clients.
The app enables all users to input their Facebook, Twitter and YouTube
account credentials in order to view an iPad-optimized display of
relevant data from these properties. It is also important to note that the
iPad app for current customers accesses and integrates data from
Webtrends' Analytics 10 platform, which provides them with the opportunity to compare performance metrics and analytics across digital
channels — including websites, mobile and social properties.
Pinterest
iOS - http://wsm.co/Qow2kP
Android - http://wsm.co/OdmYRxb
Pinterest is in a mobile
mindset. The pinboarding
social network not only
recently updated its
iPhone app, but also
launched free apps for the iPad and Android
devices too. The Pinterest app for Android is
compatible with smartphones and tablets,
including the Kindle Fire. However, iPad users
arguably have the best Pinterest experience
yet, because this new app offers fresh ways
to engage with pins, including allowing users
to swipe the screen to resume browsing
after viewing a pinboard, as well as the
option of using the embedded browser to
view what other people are pinning from
various sites throughout the Web.
Adobe Ideas

Android - http://wsm.co/RptEGJ
Keep a digital sketchbook
of ideas with you on the go
with Adobe Ideas. This
$9.99 app allows users to
create, save and share
sketches with their mobile device. With
Adobe Ideas, users can sketch using vectors,
re-use specific colors with the Eyedropper
tool, as well as use and save multiple color
themes. Each sketch can be made with up to
10 drawing layers, and users also have the ability to adjust layer opacity. Artwork can be
shared to Adobe Creative Cloud, so that users
can further refine their sketches with Illustrator,
CS5 or CS6. These can also be emailed as a
PDF for editing in Photoshop.
Notability
iOS - http://wsm.co/TCfB4A
Get organized with Notability
— a note-taking iPad
application that integrates
handwriting, PDF annotation,
typing, recording
and organizing into one mobile app. Notability
includes word-processing features, such as
outlining, text boxes and spell check, as well as
incorporates linked audio recording capabilities
into its services. The app can also be autosynced
with the cloud, so that notes are always
backed up and can easily be shared.
Additionally, Notability offers users the ability to
organize their notes and insert media, such as
pictures, if desired.
Hours Time Manager
iOS - http://wsm.co/Snms52
Start visualizing your daily
habits with this time management
app. The $4.99
Hours Time Manager app
enables users to set up a
plan by entering a rough outline of their day.
Then, when users start a project throughout
the day, they must use the app to check in and start a timer. At the end of the day, users can
look at charts and graphs to view how the
hours of their day were spent. All activities fall
into one of five categories — sleeping, binding
(time spent on areas we can't change like
commute, working, etc.), invested, wasted and
unexplained hours — so that tasks are easy to
input and the graphs are easy to read.

an important document
again. This free app
