Organizing your tasks on iPad can be a great way to use the real estate to get things done. Here's our top picks for iPad to-do list apps, from Things 3 all the way to Todoist and everything in between.
You want something optimized for iPad, something easy to use and perfect for the screen size.
These to-do list apps are perfect for iPad users looking to better make use of their iPad for organizing what's next and what to do on their list. Whether that's whilst watching a YouTube video, or a TV show, or during an intense study session, whatever it maybe, a to-do list app on horizontal and vertical views on the iPad can be a great desk pad for what's next.
These are the features that make them special:
