Substack would help itself grow if they allowed creation on mobile
The Substack app is an interesting one, a way to read newsletters from an app rather than the emails coming through to your inbox. They have recently added RSS feed import too but it’s missing one key feature (for me), the ability to create content. One reason I’m inconsistent with my own newsletter is the […]

Does Apple Music have a reliability problem?
I’ve been noticing a few bugs in Apple Music in the last month and the frequency of this one in particular has got me thinking about switching. It’s happening now across now only music I’ve added manually but also on music directly added from streamed. if I’m listening to a playlist or just an album […]

Letting my Glass and Tweetbot subscriptions expire
With the current state of the economy I’m really scrutinising my monthly app subscription outgoings. It’s been easy to subscribe via the App Store and not think about whether I’m getting value from them. Two that I have had up for renewal are Tweetbot and Glass. I’m letting both of these expire. Tweetbot Tweetbot hasn’t […]

Should a to do app be a one off purchase or monthly subscription?
I’ve been playing around with some to do apps again based on bugs I’ve found in Reminders that are not being addressed by Apple in iOS (I don’t why but I still raise radars with Apple). Using Reminders for a while though has soured me on monthly subscription to do apps. I’m using apps like […]

Removing distractions

Keeping your iOS setup simple (and a switch of apps)
I’ve been using a lot of Apple apps lately and appreciated their simplicity but I’ve found Reminders has gotten a little too complicated (especially managing sub tasks). In a bid to simplify things I stopped using it. As you’ll see from my Home Screen I switched over to Things. I realised it was a lot […]

The best way to remove objects from images on iOS
An app I use almost daily is called TouchRetouch and in my opinion it’s the best way to remove objects in images on iOS. I use it like above where I want to remove a telephone line in my image. I simply select the eraser and swipe where I want to remove it. As you […]

The pull of cross platform apps
I’m thinking a lot about the devices I currently use and it’s got me thinking about cross platform apps again. I’ve been pretty settled on Apple Notes, Mail and Reminders but am I locking myself into an ecosystem? The obvious benefit of using cross platform apps is that I can use them regardless of the […]
