I regularly use 70 different Apps on my Mac. With the advent of iPad Pro there has been a lot of talk about using one as a Mac replacement. It’s also possible that I may have to use a Windows PC in work at some point. Could an iPad Pro give me the apps I really like, if I can’t use the Mac versions in that scenario?
The table blow shows the 70 Apps I use and what iOS equivalents I have, to could get. Not to bad actually. Nearly a 1:1 ratio of Mac app to the same iOS App. I could survive on iOS if I had to. Luckily I don’t, and can choose OSX or iOS depending on circumstance.
