Discover essential utility apps that solve everyday problems with your Apple devices! Hosts Mikah Sargent and Rosemary Orchard walk you through a collection of must-have apps that address common pain points throughout your day. From document scanning to printing solutions, they demonstrate how the right apps can make your digital life significantly easier.

  • Simple Scan by Agile Tortoise - A powerful document scanning app that lets you choose your destination (email, messages, files) and quality settings, making it easy to digitize paper documents and manuals.
  • Yoink - A clever "shelf" app that serves as a temporary holding place for files you need for a short time but don't want to save permanently.
  • Printer Apps (Canon PRINT, HP, etc.) - Manufacturer-specific printer apps can help troubleshoot connection issues, perform maintenance, and sometimes succeed at printing when AirPrint fails.
  • PDF Expert - The free version offers scaling options for printing that aren't available in most standard print dialogs, allowing you to adjust document size to fit perfectly on different paper sizes.
  • PCalc- Goes beyond basic calculations to offer extensive conversion capabilities for length, area, currency, cooking measurements, and much more.
  • Soulver 3 - A powerful math app for "back of the envelope" calculations with annotations, perfect for budget planning or working through complex math problems.
  • Drafts - An incredibly versatile text capture tool that works via widgets, serves as a digital post-it system, and helps clean up long URLs from sites like Amazon before sharing.

News

  • iPadOS Updates Coming - Mark Gurman of Bloomberg reports that Apple plans to make iPadOS more like macOS at WWDC this year, focusing on productivity, multitasking, and app window management.
