I thought it was about time we looked at a portfolio iPad app for photographers as although apps like Photo Manager Pro do a pretty good job it’s nice to have a stand alone portfolio.

This week I’ve been playing around with the free version of Pad Folio from Christopher Kuehl and so far I have been impressed. It’s simple to use and the images are display quite elegantly without lots of unnecessary faff.

£6.99 for the full version is certainly money well spent if you do use your iPad as a portfolio tool and you wanted to have multiple galleries.

There are a couple of iOS 5 bug issues but there should be an update very soon which should sort all that out.
