Apple announced on March 5, 2012 that Where's My Water? Free represented the 25 billionth app downloaded from the App Store—that's a lot of downloads. Of the over 550,000 apps that live in Apple's marketplace, over 170,000 are native iPad apps that run the gamut from news to business to entertainment. That's an extraordinary amount of software battling for a home within your iPad, iPad 2, or new third-generation iPad. There's no doubt that some are great and some are…not. So the vital question is: how do you find the gems among the garbage? The most basic answer is to read App Store user ratings and reviews, but that's a potential time-suck of massive proportions. Besides, the wisdom of crowds isn't always all that wise. The better answer would be to check out PCMag's picks for the 100 best iPad apps. We've dug through the sludge so that you don't have to do so.
