It’s basically the best paper notebook/sketchbook available for iPad, with a number of pens, pencils, and paintbrushes available to capture your work. I’ve used Paper (free) since the first day it was available for the iPad, and it’s been around for a while. The app is free for viewing spreadsheets to edit, you can use it free for 30 days and then purchase a qualifying Office 365 subscription to continue. Excel on iPad Pro is honestly better than it is on Microsoft’s mobile devices, which says a lot for the company’s commitment to iOS. For getting even more done, Excel works in Split View mode (and with Slide Over, as seen above) so you can work on a spreadsheet while viewing source data. Spreadsheets can be stored on iCloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, OneDrive for Business, or SharePoint. Everything that you expect on the desktop version of Excel - formulas, charts, tables, data analysis, comments, PivotTables, sparklines and conditional formatting - is there, so it’s possible to work on any spreadsheet you’ve developed on a Mac or PC on the big 12.9-inch screen of the iPad Pro.

Microsoft has done an incredible job of moving the entire Office suite to iOS, and Excel is the shining jewel of the bunch. Related: The Rocket Yard Goes Hands-On with Apple’s New iPad Pro What?

In my first few days of using the iPad Pro, I’ve found a handful of apps that are pretty much indispensable on it. Like any other iOS device or Mac, though, it’s the software that defines what the iPad Pro can do and what makes it useful. The iPad Pro: bigger, faster, and more usable than any iPad before it. Each week, the Friday Five takes a quick look at a Mac OS X or iOS app to point out five things you may have overlooked before. It’s the end of the week, but that doesn’t mean an end to learning more about your favorite Apple devices.
