  1. Thanks for compiling those applications, got the free one, hope you could post more free apps. 😛 thanks again..

  2. My iPad want to thank you for sharing those apps, he got new found apps.

  3. Great collection of apps. Usually get overseen the arty type. many thanks

  4. Great collection, though i use Adobe Ideas. As a graphic designer, i use my iPad regularly to sketch design ideas. Btw, AT&T’s 4g lte coverage is amazing here in San Francisco!

  5. This has to be one of the most useful posts I’ve ever seen online. As a graphic designer, I can’t use these apps soon enough. I love Palettes Pro, especially, but they’re all pretty darn amazing. I hope these folks who create these make megabucks. If all the 4GLTE networks earn big profits for making them sing (mine does; I’m on At&T), the creators deserve to get rich quick, too.

  6. Aweeesomeee 🙂 Naldz thanks for taking your time, especially the iFontMaker was very helpfull for me, aswell as the ArtStudio which includes tutorials.

    Looking forward to more helpfull posts,
    Jetlir
