About

This site was created by Jeff Maynard to review the best-in-class of a variety of apps for Apple devices (Mac, iPad, iPhone, iPod, TV, Watch).
In each category I have reviewed a number of apps (anything from two to ten) and selected the one I think is best - this is the one reviewed.
My process is simple (but comprehensive): use each app for weeks in 'normal' working and doing every day stuff. In this way I can better understand the nuances of use and don't rely on the PR stuff from the app developer.
I do not review apps I am not planning to keep...xxx
Help

This Apple app review site does not really need a Help section. From the Home page choose the category of app you are interested in (Mac, iPadOS, and iOS - iPadOS and iOS only - Mac only - Apple Watch only) and read the details of the app in which you are interested.

You can click on the link following to see screenshots or click on the brief description to see more details.

See the About tab for details of how the apps are chosen and reviewed.
AutoSleep


The Apple Watch OS includes a sleep tracking app but AutoSleep is seriously better; indeed, AutoSleep is the only Apple Watch Sleep App with in-built actigraphy for sleep validation studies. .

Many clinics and universities around the world only use AutoSleep for studies into sleep.

To get the full value from AutoSleep, you wear your Apple Watch when in bed (setting the Sleep focus will turn off the display and silence any notifications).

AutoSleep integrates closely with the Health App built-in to your Apple Watch OS.

A complication (which you can select to display on your watch face) provides a summary when you wake and links to full details of your sleep.

A HeartWatch complication provides instant access to your most important heart info (current, today's low and today's high heart rate.

HeartWatch continues to record heart information even when your watch is in flight Mode of Bluetooth is off (all datga are transferred to your iPhone later.
