Q&A Question: I just came across a Mac app called VoodooPad that lets you create a wiki-style database to store large amounts of information. Is there a similar iPad app? I know you can do something like this in Bear with note links, but I would like a dedicated app. (Connor Rose)
VoodooPad is available...
Digital Camera Companion Apps on iOS Not long ago, I bought a Sony a6500 digital camera. It’s got a 24-megapixel APS-C sensor and uses Sony E-mount lenses, which I already had a couple of from a previous camera, and therefore was one of the reasons I went with this particular model. I also picked the a6500 because it works...
App Debuts Soor Just over a week ago, Soor debuted as a beautifully designed third-party music client for Apple Music. For all that Soor does well – which is a lot – it also included a number of drawbacks in version 1.0 compared to the first-party Music app. As highlighted in Federico’s review, the app didn’t...
In a bit of unexpected gaming news, Sony has released PS4 Remote Play, an iOS app that allows PS4 owners to play the console’s games on an iPhone or iPad over WiFi. Although it’s a surprising development this late in the lifecycle of the PS4, it’s great to see Sony continuing to expand the ways its customers can enjoy the console.

App Debuts Day One for Mac Day One has been updated to version 3.0 on the Mac with a new design. The new look features bolder typography and has a cleaner overall look that I like. Double clicking on entries opens them up into their own windows, which can be used to refer to one entry...
Gladys for Mac My main shelf app on the Mac and iOS these days is Yoink. I use it as a temporary parking spot for files, snippets of text, and images to make it easier to move those items around on my Mac, iPad, or between them. For files I regularly need though, I still use Gladys...
Spectre is a new specialized camera app from the team that created Halide, one of our favorite camera apps on iOS. The Halide team describes Spectre as a computational shutter for the iPhone, which allows the app to do things like remove people from a crowded scene, create artistic images of rushing water, and produce light trails at night. The same sort of images can be created using traditional cameras, but getting the exposure right, holding the camera absolutely still, and accounting for other factors make them difficult to get right. With Spectre, artificial intelligence is used to simplify the process and make long-exposure photography accessible to anyone with an iPhone.
