For once I do not write anything related to Oracle Database Technologies and Security. After I’ve been asked from time to time, what I’ve installed on my iPad or what I could recommend, it is time to put things together again. It is not an “All-time best IOS App list”<\/em> nor is the list exhaustive. It is just a personal experience at time of writing. Some App’s are just for the iPad and some are for the iPhone as well. For the price I can not make any statements. But I try to rate them at least with free, costs or free\/costs. Where free\/pay means that there are two version available. <\/p>\n
