There are so many iOS RSS readers on the App Store to choose from, that it’s often hard to find one that is really great. However, Fiery Feeds 2 is that great RSS feeder that both looks good, and has features that will satisfy power users of RSS feeds. Fiery Feeds 2 is my favourite RSS client on iOS, and it’s a great choice for those who want a powerful and customisable RSS client.
The Aukey SK-S1 is a well-built and great sounding bluetooth speaker for only £28.99. Built out of metal, the speaker looks and feels like it’s a premium speaker. Sound quality is great from the speaker, and for the price, you can’t go wrong with the Aukey SK-S1.
Logos are a very important part of a brand – you see them everywhere, and often they give you a first impression on what the company is like. Having a great logo is important – and that’s where DesignEvo comes in. DesignEvo makes it easy to design a great looking logo that will allow your brand or project to stand out of the crowd for a low price.
My home screen has changed a lot since the last post on it I did a few months ago, and now it is a lot more unique and customised. I’ve used Pixelmator for iOS to create a custom home screen look, which works with the apps I use and makes my phone look a lot more unique. Read on to find out more about the apps I use every day.
I’m a big fan of Reddit – I’m on it for hours every day, and I’ve been using Apollo the past few months as my Reddit app on iOS, and I’ve been impressed. The app looks good and has loads of handy features that let you browse Reddit easier.
Apple has just announced the release of a new, 9.7 inch iPad, aimed at schools and students. With the price of $299 for schools, or $329 for consumers, the iPad is one of the cheapest iPad’s released. However, this model rocks Apple Pencil support at the A10 processor, one of the most powerful Apple processors.
Aukey is a great Chinese company that makes high quality electronic goods that are fairly priced and aren’t a rip-off. I’ve been using the Aukey EP-B40 bluetooth earphones for a few months now, and I’ve been very impressed. These Aukey earphones offer a great package for £23.99
I’ve been using pipelines for a few years now, primarily for this site. If you don’t know what pipelines are, you can check out this post where I go into them in detail. In short, pipelines are a chronologically ordered table that let you quickly see what you have to do next. For example, I have a pipeline for this site with all the posts in order, and it lets me see with a glance the status of the post, the date I need to publish it, as well as extra notes. It’s a really good way to keep on top of a structured schedule.
One issue I had with pipelines is that it took ages to make the tables – filling in the dates for the next few months was a pain, as was filling in the statues column. However, I spent some time to create a Workflow that allows you to quickly create a pipeline table. It’s fully customisable, and I have it to make a new column every Saturday.
FileBrowser is an iOS app that allows you to connect to PCs, cloud services, local servers, and FTP servers. It’s a very powerful tool that allows you to connect to your PC to browse the files on it from your iPad, or upload files to a FTP server. It also supports the latest iOS features such as drag and drop, so you can drag things in from Files and drop them into FileBrowser.
Workflow is now known as Shortcuts, however all of the workflows mentioned below will still work. If you want more workflows, you can check out a later post with more here.
I’m a big user of Workflow, and app that allows you to use visual programming to drag and drop blocks to create ‘scripts’ that allow you to easily automate what you do on your iPad and iPhone. Instead of tediously doing things such as adding tasks one by one into your task manager, Workflow can automate that so you simply write them out, then add them to your task manager with one tap. It’s incredibly easy to create these Workflows, and no programming knowledge is needed.
Workflow automates things you do on your iPhone and iPad and turns those tedious tasks into a single action that takes less than a second to execute. Keep reading to find out the Workflows that I use on a daily basis, and save me time everyday.
