What's on my iPad Mini!

Hey everyone.

Today I'm going to do a What's on my iPad Mini post, as I just really love being nosy and taking a look at other people's iPad homescreens; what backgrounds they have and what apps they have! 

My background is off Pinterest and I picked it because its really pretty and I love stars. I also hate having really bright, busy wallpapers as I find it draws attention away from the apps, so this wallpaper is perfect for me! :)

It's the 1st iPad Mini, and I know a lot of people complain about the low resolution display, but it honestly doesn't bother me and I can't really tell the difference between this screen and my iPhone 5c screen! The only problem with my iPad is, as a lot of people have said, the updates tend to slow the older models of Apple's products down after time, so this makes it slightly laggy, but not too much that I can't use it! The only lag really is when I type on the keyboard, sometimes it takes a few seconds when I first start typing for the words to display on the screen. Other than this minor problem, I absolutely love my iPad and it's the perfect size to take with me places!


So, this is my iPad home screen. As you can see, most of the apps I have on this page are the 
stock Apple apps, but to make it look a bit different, I added Pinterest on the bottom column. Then
on the bottom panel I added my favourite social networking apps- Twitter, Facebook 
and Facebook Messenger, as these are also easy to access because they are always there, whatever page I am on. I don't tend to use the Messages app as I don't know many people with iMessage, and if I want to text, I just use my phone. I also don't really use the Music app as I don't really like listening to music on my iPad, I'd rather listen to it on my phone.


This is the first folder I have on my iPad, which is called TV, and has a little TV emoji next to it! Here, I store YouTube, All 4, Netflix, ITV Hub, and BBC iPlayer as I love catching up on TV whenever I go somewhere. I prefer using these apps than catching up on my laptop, its just much more comfortable to view.


Now, I know this is a really small folder and probably not worth having, but I like being able to see what apps I want to use :) I have Afterlight, which is from my old Apple ID account, so  I didn't have to pay for it again this time as I'd already bought it before. It's a great little app if you want to quickly improve a photograph while on the go. You can add filters, frames, effects; the list goes on! I also have PhotoGrid, mainly for the purpose of putting a coloured frame around my Facebook profile pictures, but nowadays I use Afterlight to insert a frame. I have still got this app though, because if it so happens I want to make a random collage, I can very easily!


Now, THIS folder is my favourite! I just love a good game, especially on my iPad as I can play games for any mood I'm in; whether it's proper gaming or just something to pass the time. I have Piano Tiles, which is SO addictive; Jelly Splash which I absolutely love and find similar to Candy Crush, but better; Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, as I'm a huge fan of the GTA games on PlayStation/Xbox; Magic Piano which is pretty tricky but so fun and you get to play real hit songs! Plants VS Zombies 2; Candy Crush Soda Saga; PipeRoll HD (So addictive); Subway Surfer; Gymnastics (Don't ask); Lego DC (I love DC characters and Lego games!); Rayman Adventures and Trivia Crack. 


This is my final folder, for things that don't belong anywhere so I put them in an ETC. Folder!
It contains: Wallpapers; Just Eat; Rightmove (As I love being nosy and looking at houses!); Find iPhone; Google Maps; MailOnline (I love reading the news, and I don't like the Daily Mail but I find it's the easiest to read and navigate through); Kindle (I LOVE Reading!) and Spotify.


That's all for today, but I hope you all enjoyed being nosy and seeing what's inside my iPad Mini!
