I have an iPad and I have an iPhone (I suddenly became an apple girl somehow, clearly Apple's advertising really does work), so I do already have Apps.
Apart from using Apps for things like the weather (although to be fair I hear tell some aren't very reliable, but that's hardly surprising - weather reports on the news can still get it wrong), money conversions and reading books, I mostly use Apps for fun.
A friend a while back got me onto Angry Birds in Space, it's incredibly fun and addictive. I'm still stuck on this level on an icy planet, and can't get past it. But one of these days I will. But that App isn't free, I had to pay money for it.
One of the best Apps I've ever downloaded (also not free, but definitely worth the cost) is an App called The Solar System. If you have any interest at all in the Solar System, please get this app. It is fantastic. It tells you all about the planets, and their moons, and you can even look at them for different angles because you can move the planets around with your fingers. It is a fantastic App, I am thrilled to bits over it.
I think they're really good, provided they're updated to fix any bugs with them. Sometimes it takes awhile for bugs to be fixed, and sometimes you don't notice an update has been done. Take the time to download the updates, otherwise you could be at risk from nasty stuff on your smart phone or iPad.
But I have to admit, while there are thousands of educational Apps out there, I tend to only use the ones I can play with, mainly because I only really use my iPad in my downtime when I'm relaxing at home.
