It allows you to carry all of the power of a full office setup that you can take with you anywhere.  All you need is your iPad and your Tap, and you have a fully functional workstation that fits in your pocket or bag. With a 10 hour battery life and included external battery, Tap will allow you to work with freedom for days on end. It also has built in iOS shortcuts for quickly searching and swapping apps.
