Who doesn’t like great iPad apps? At iPad Insight we definitely do. With that in mind, we offer up a quick review of an excellent iPad app, or a few great iPad apps, here each week.

Our weekly picks for Best iPad App of the Week are published here every Saturday. Check out all out picks below and you’ll soon have a collection of stellar apps for your favorite tablet.

This week’s pick is VSCO Cam, a universal photo shooting and editing app for iPhone and iPad.

VSCO Cam was actually one of the app extensions teased this year at the iOS 8 announcement, but strangely enough, still does not feature any kind of photo extension. You’ve still got to do all the edits in the app, but that’s now a little easier with native apps across both types of iOS devices, and iCloud sync.

This means I can shoot photos on the iPhone and take advantage of the app’s manual focus and ISO settings, and then load the app up on my iPad to edit those same shots on the glorious 10-inch Retina Display. It honestly took a while for me to get into VSCO’s style of menu buttons and edits, but now that I am, I think it’s my favourite iOS photo editor.

There are options to view photos in nearly fullscreen, as large thumbnails, or as a smaller grid of pictures. This is why VSCO is great not just as an editing app, but as a place to sit back and actually review a day’s worth of shots.

There are simple on-screen sliders for adjusting contrast/brightness/saturation (and more), and the large numbers of filters can be adjusted so that they just add flavour to a photograph, instead of overtaking it with a shock of colour or graphical effects.

This week’s pick is Spotify Music, the app the brings the popular music sharing service to the iPad.

The app has just been updated this week with a new look and a dark theme – and it looks great. There are a number of very good music streaming services out there to choose from and I’ve tried out a fair few, and have come back to Spotify recently. I appreciate its huge music library, slick UI, easy discovery of new music, sharing and seeing friends’ music, and its new nicely priced family plan. It’s my go-to music app again on the iPad, iMac, and my phone as well.
