35 minutes

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.
