    App Reviews

    Apps for Mac, iPadOS and/or iOS versions

    For each category of app, I have reviewed based on the methodology described, selected the best product and summarised its features.

    Methodology

    How the reviews are conducted

    Key is real-world use for actual activity (not just trying all the buttons) for several weeks. I am looking for productivity gains and better usability particularly compared with similar apps.

    All Apple

    MacOS, iPadOS, & iOS

    Apps that sync across all Apple devices

    One of the great achievements of Apple is the sharing, in real time, of data across all devices. Apps that exploit that are so much more productive.

    Tablet & Phone

    iPad & iOS Only

    Apps with no Mac version

    Some functionality, notably that based on geolocation, only really works on truly portable devices. This section looks at some of those apps.

    MacOS Only

    Apps without an iOS version

    Some heavyweight stuff is still only practicable on a desktop - although the power of the iPad is making that less the case.

    Apple Watch

    Apps that exploit Apple Watch

    The Apple Watch has an amazing range of features some of which are examined in this section.

    • 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...
    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) 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.
