NetNewsWire for iOS and macOS Review
by
When I started with a Mac around 10 years ago one of the first things I needed to find was a good RSS client and the top one at the time was clearly [NetNewsWire](https://ranchero.com/netnewswire/). Over the years it changed hands, and didn’t get updates, and changed hands, and generally wasn’t a great option anymore. Fortunately…
Best iPadOS VPN
by
Today we’re going to take a look at VPN’s for your iPad. Yes I tested them on macOS too, but they were so similar as to be almost indistinguishable on macOS. When it came to iPadOS there was a clear winner TunnelBear. TunnelBear wasn’t the fastest or the slowest, but it did always connect easily.…
Short Term Text Storage With Tot
by
Tot is a new application from The Icon Factory, which has earned a place in my text based workflow over the last few weeks. In particular, it’s taken one key workflow away from Drafts on my iPad and Scratchpad when I’m using macOS. So, let’s take a look at this app that has stolen my…

Does Unread 2 Fix My Issues With Unread 1?
by
Recently [Unread 2](https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/unread-2/id1363637349) came out, and it had a bunch of the features I wanted after my [initial review of Unread](https://youtu.be/8_3BP7N0xjI). It also launched with a bit of controversy, as many apps do currently. It’s no longer something you can simply purchase, it’s a $20/year subscription. I get why developers do this, they want some…
$99 iPad Keyboard With Trackpad
by
So Apple came out with a [Smart Keyboard with a trackpad](https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MXQU2LL/A/magic-keyboard-for-ipad-pro-129%E2%80%91inch-4th-generation-us-english), and we know that [Brydge has one coming already](https://www.brydge.com/products/brydge-pro-plus-for-ipad-pro). My big question is, does the trackpad really work well with iPadOS? Is the premium price of the Apple keyboard at $449 CDN or the Brydge keyboard at $300 CDN truly going to provide $200…

If you’re a reader like I am, you’re going to build a fairly extensive library of books that need to be tracked. Well they don’t need to be I guess, but I like to track them because I otherwise purchase multiple copies of the same books and that sucks. Today we’re going to look at…

by
This is my 3rd Paperlike screen cover. I had 2 copies of the Paperlike 1, one on my 9.7″ iPad Pro and one on my 12.9″ iPad Pro. It was one of the first purchases I made with both devices and when I heard that they were coming out with a new version that should…
