Best Apps of 2012 for iPad, iPhone, and Mac!

Its that wonderful time again when we travel see family members and friends or they travel to us. We give them gifts as impersonal as our Christmas card we made for them because we have to. With all of this traveling, here is a list of the best Apps of 2012 that you have to have on your Mac, iPhone, iPod, and iPad.

For the Mac:

1. Pocket. (Free) This is a great, free app that allows you to save articles, videos, and pictures. Once saved, you can access these articles from your Mac, iPhone/iPod, and iPad. This is an amazing app, especially for traveling. The best part is that it is free as well.
2.  Snapheal. ($7.99) Snapheal is a great photo editing app that is inexpensive, yet very powerful. This app can remove objects from a photo, fix bad skin, restore damaged pictures and preform more complex edits faster and better. This is a must have for photo lovers. 

For the iPhone/iPod:

1. Google Maps. (Free) Google maps has come back to iOS bigger and better than ever. With directions for transit, walking, biking, and driving with turn by turn directions and street view, this is best Maps app on the iPhone hands down. While this app has only been out a few days, this is a must have!
2. Voxer. (Free) Voxer is a great walkie talkie app that allows you to send someone a voice message like a text message. This app is great for traveling or communicating quickly and easily. This has replaced my messages app on my iPhone for sure.
3. Pulse News. (Free) Pulse News is a simple, easy app to use to read all of your favorite news from tech news and sports news, to funny news such as fail blogs. This is a great, simple, free app that is hands down one of the best on iTunes.

Flipboard for iPad.

For the iPad:

1. Flipboard. (Free) Flipboard is a great social media app that combines Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest with other news sources such as Gizmodo and MacRumors. This makes for an all in one app that really shines and since this does have an iPhone/iPod app, everything is cross device synced. 
2. Pulse News. (Free) Pulse News is a simple, easy app to use to read all of your favorite news from tech news and sports news, to funny news such as fail blogs. This is a great, simple, free app that is hands down one of the best on iTunes and looks even better on an iPad.
3. Paper by FiftyThree. (Free). Paper is where ideas begin. It’s the easiest and most beautiful way to create on iPad. Capture your ideas as sketches, diagrams, illustrations, notes or drawings and share them across the web. Try it free—buy additional tools from the in-App Store.

So there is list of my favorite Apps of the year that I have been using on a regular basis. My overall app of the year has to be Voxer because the app made communication that much easier. 

So what is your favorite app that you use all the time? Is it an app on this list, or something we missed? Let us know in the comment box below or on our Facebook page. Hope everyone has a safe and merry Christmas! Peace Apple Nation!
