App-Tastic Tuesday: Peterson Birds of North America

This app is one of the ones that really utilizes the iPad's capabilities in intuitive and truly helpful ways. And it's on sale right now for 99 cents (down for the usual price of $14.99), so snap it up while you can!

Peterson Birds of North America

Anyone who's frequently used the traditional book version of the Peterson guides knows that they are chock full of information and accurate, clear drawings. This app has all of the usual content about habitat, migration patterns, habits, etc., but it also includes recordings of birdsongs and integrates birdwatching checklists. You can even report sightings. 

The Peterson guides have been standbys in libraries and in the home collections of outdoor enthusiasts for decades. Grab this reference "book" while the price is low!

And don't forget to download our free app while you're at it. 

Finals start swimmingly

A little stress relief for all of our students studying for finals!

(Apologies to anyone I accidentally hit with the clownfish.)

App-Tastic Tuesday: Gaze HD

Finals are next week. Are you stressing a bit?

This app won't get your projects done any faster, but it might help you relax for a few minutes.

Gaze is a free app that puts beautiful HD scenes on your iPad. There are four different Gaze apps, and each one comes in a free version. Beautiful Views (icon pictured) and Fires and More can also be upgraded to show additional scenes for a couple of bucks.

The waterfalls cascade, the waves crash, the fire crackles, or the cherry blossoms tumble, with or without sound, and you can set the app to stay on your favorite scene or to shuffle through them all.

When I'm not using my iPad, I set up a Gaze scene and prop it beside my computer monitor with a radio app playing in the background. On dreary days, it's like a window to somewhere pretty.

Visit their website or find them in the App Store.
And, of course, don't forget to download the Reeves Library app!
