The App Store offers software that finds even more application for iPad cameras, both front and rear. Some, such as ProCam 6 and Filmic Pro, give you more control over your camera settings when taking photos or videos. Top 9 Ways to Use an iPad Camera.

All of the following apps use the iPad camera to do something extra with the image, such as draw colors, equations, or edges, or help you use the image to do something interesting, such as create a movie, draw, or manage an appointment.

Create a color palette with Adobe Capture CC

What we like

• A universal application that allows you to use the camera to create your own tools and palettes.

What we don't like

• You need to sign in with a free Adobe ID, Facebook or Google account.

Adobe Capture CC relies on the camera to provide several services: to convert an image into vectors, patterns, brushes, or even a 3D object. One of the best tricks is how he can create a 5-color theme from a photo. Move the colored dots on the screen to the colors you need in your palette if you don't like the ones it selects automatically. The application is free and allows you to store up to 2 GB of memory with the ability to upgrade to 20 GB of memory per month.

Follow the work of art through the eyes of Da Vinci: anyone can draw

What we like

• Reasonable, choice of camera and opacity settings.

What we don't like

• Make sure you position your iPad and image so that they do not touch or move. Rearranging things can be a little tricky.

While it doesn't draw for you, the Da Vinci Eye app: Anyone who can draw can help you track and draw a little better. You will need to place your iPad a few inches above a sheet of paper, then select an image to draw and place it on the screen. Adjust the opacity to see the original image, your drawing, or a little of both.

Capture whiteboards, documents, and more with the Microsoft Office lens

What we like

• Recognizes edges and captures the contents of documents well and dries the image on the board well.

What we don't like

• Does not always accurately convert handwritten letters.

Use the free Microsoft Office Lens application to take a picture of a whiteboard, document, or business card. The application recognizes the edges of the object, removes glare and allows you to crop images, add text or draw notes. You can then export it to several other applications, including OneNote, OneDrive, Word, PowerPoint, Photos, and more.

Convert physical notes to virtual notes on the Padlet

What we like

• Catscan be the easiest way to make virtual notes from small squares pasted on the wall.

What we don't like

• Catscan is not available in the desktop version if you are running on multiple platforms.

Padlet offers a virtual wall where you can place notes, links, images, videos, etc. in various layouts. And you can create a new board with the camera: open the app, tap to add a new board, select Catscan, and then take notes on the wall. The padlet turns them into virtual notes on the board, to which you can add additional content as you resize or organize your entries.With the free version, the application contains advertising and limits you to 10 MB of files and three boards. Upgrading to Pro removes ads, increases memory up to 250 MB, and allows you to create an unlimited number of projects.

Hover and solve with Photomath

What we like

• Great app for math homework help.

What we don't like

• Keep an eye on the kids to make sure they solve the problem first and then capture the app, not the other way around.

Stuck without solving a math problem? Open the free PhotoMath app and point the camera at the equation. The application recognizes numbers and variables and shows you every step needed to reach a solution.

Identify stars, planets, and more in the Sky Guide

What we like

• Night vision mode dims the screen and displays items with a faint red color.

What we don't like

• An extended view of the night sky while holding the iPad in the air will increase the strength of your hands, but can also be a little tiring.

Sky Guide displays stars, planets, satellites, etc. on your iPad screen. Touch the compass and camera, then swipe the screen in any direction to see objects relative to your current position and orientation. The base version includes a 2.5 million star directory, or you can upgrade to Supermassive for an improved star catalog and support for high-definition scaling.

Create animated movies with Stop Motion Studio

What we like

• Powerful image capture step by step.
• Ability to display the previous image superimposed on the current view of the camera (also known as "onion peel").

Must Read: 4 ways sports psychology is key to performance

What we don't like

• Time is everything: people may need some experimentation to find out how much (or how little) to adjust the object to achieve the desired animated movement.

Create time-lapse animated videos with your iPad camera and the free Stop Motion Studio app. Cut, copy or paste frames, add audio and export in SD or HD formats. Update to unlock the ability to add effects, import images, work with higher resolutions, and more.

Find your type with which font

What we like

• Finds matches for the most widely used fonts.
• Shows alternatives, even if the exact match is not defined.

What we don't like

• You need to capture a photo of the font in front and flat. The application tries to accurately identify fonts taken at a side angle or using tiles.
• The results may not be noticeable.

Have you ever seen a sign, advertisement or book cover and wondered¦ what font? This free program will help you find many fonts that match or are very close to the font found in your photo. The application contains a link to MyFonts.com, where you can buy identified fonts (prices change)

Zoom Cloud Meetings: a portable conference program

What we like

• Zoom includes most of the features that people need in the mobile meeting app.
• The ability to share the screen in real time with the iPad is an impressive feature.

What we don't like

• It is not possible to apply 40 minutes for group meetings to all meetings we attend, and not only to those where we use the free version of Zoom.

Thanks to its excellent battery life and large screen, the iPad works well for remote conferences that use a camera to let you see other people in your meeting. Zoom Cloud Meetings supports video, whiteboard and file sharing, and lets you share the screen from your iPad to other visitors. The free version limits group meetings to 100 people and 40 minutes, although one-on-one meetings are not time-limited. Paid options remove these limits.
